How do you keep fleas off you in these off mrkt properties?
Just curious if anyone has found a way to combat fleas in off market properties from infesting you as well? Flea collars around ankles? Tyvek painters suits? Just deal with it?
Does anyone have a routine they do before entering a vacant house?
I've been wearing khaki pants when I go check out a prop just so I can easily see them and flick them off but this last one i went in they were ALLL over me the second i went in.

@Amanda Kessler
Quite the contrary. Any house can have fleas whether it’s a dump or a million dollar house. Being dirty has nothing to do with fleas.
