Insects To Inherit The Earth In Florida Flea Crisis
Miami AP reports a severe flea season in South Florida with widespread infestations. Humane Society director Kenneth McGovern notes owners surrender animals to escape fleas, while exterminator Eugene Solomon says Florida's mild winters boost breeding. He warns fleas resist many treatments, hide in larval stages, and can spread via house-to-house transfer. A cold snap may ease the flea surge, but Solomon foresees roaches and chinch bugs rising, concluding that insects will inherit the earth.
