THERE AIN'T NO BUGS ON ME

      I don't know if this has ever happened to you, but this was a first for me!

    I was showing a home in Merrimack, New Hampshire to a young couple and their two year old son who were relocating to New Hampshire.  We will call their son Kevin.  The Buyers were interested in the home so we were there for a little over a half an hour.  This was the first home on our list.

    Kevin announced that he needed to make a pit stop so we decided to go the the McDonalds that had a play station as Kevin was also bored after spending so much time at the first house.  We were going over the remaining listings for the day when Kevin announced that his skin was tickling.  Then we all realized that we had tickling skin too!  We all were covered with "hundreds" no exaggeration -- of FLEAS.

     I called the listing agent to let her know what was going on.  She said that the owners had decided to board their 5 dogs so that they would not have to be put away every time there was a showing.  Unfortunately, with the dogs gone, the fleas had no where to go!  So, they jumped on us!  We all had fleas and flea bites all over our bodies!

    Kevin announced that he didn't want to live in the FLEA HOUSE! 

    His parents still liked the house and made some calls to find out what could be done about the massive flea infestation.   They were told by a couple of different companies that it would be very difficult to get rid of the fleas without using harsh chemicals -- they suggested completely ripping up the carpets and the pads.

     Unfortunately, for the seller, they lost an interested buyer.  The Sellers are now working on getting rid of the fleas and their pesky eggs.

   Sellers will want to make sure that there ain't no bugs on the Buyers.

   Please read comments added after this blog was posted to find out how to control fleas without harsh chemicals.
