We have cats inside the house because they are loving companions, bed warmers and they eat literally anything that moves.
We never have any trouble with flies in summer because the cats fight over who gets them. Same with spiders.
I would like to have a dog but the ticks where we live are just way too bad. Many outdoor animals die each year from tick bites. Even with tick repellent they can only take so much before they get too weak.
Our cats are never allowed outside without supervision due to coyotes, fox, wolves, bear and eagles.
We also use diatomaceous earth for fleas and parasites as well as for mites on our chickens.
That's interesting @thediyworld that you never allowed your cats outside because of risk for eagles picking them up as a prey.
Anyway off topic, why are you so heavily trolled in your posts?
Yes we have eagles here. They would eat a cat in a second I have been told.
Long story but I had blocked some trolls on YouTube. But YouTube changed the block function to something like steemit mute so they were able to band up against me.
In time people believed their stories against me and joined them.
That was years ago.
Do NOT engage them. They harass us in the real world too.
@cryptopie The short story is that Troy Reid (thediyworld) runs a youtube channel where he pretends to be a homesteader, claiming he is 95% off grid while not even having a solar power system connected to his dwelling. He has been running a scam for years now, with constant ebegging and low quality videos full of deceptions and misinformation. He bought a mail order bride with donations, along with other blatant misuse of donated goods and money. Apart from lying on a constant basis, he has killed many animals through neglect and poor management. He is also a hoarder of junk. He left tons of rubbish at his previous property earlier this year, for others to clean up. He’s now in the process of turning his second property into another dumpsite.

its just a group of troublemakers that likes to stalk and harass people , most were trolls on his youtube channel that he blocked, the 3 main ringleaders are fixedbydoc , timcat100 and a canadian bloke who think they are clever getting others to do their bad work for them
Troy Reid had a beautiful beagle dog called Joy a few years back. He kept her chained up and neglected her. No one knows what eventually happened to that poor dog Joy. Troy Reid is a monster when it comes to taking care of animals.

I do not think your trolling fits here. It is disgusting.
I don't understand this.@thediyworld, BUT, your friend doc-hunter is spamming about fixbydoc person that is not even here, or on your DIY channel.
Afraid of the boogie man I guess??
