The trap then needs to be reset, with the hook moved slightly more apart from the metal cylinder.dog foodhttp://www.symplypetfoods.co.uk/Dog_Food.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965336832188998669.post-49507253609632815712012-06-05T17:43:41.878-04:002012-06-05T17:43:41.878-04:00Last week, city officials said they would likely e...Last week, city officials said they would likely euthanize any cats caught, which caused push-back from Alley Cat Allies since it's the fleas who carry the disease and not the cats. In addition, animal advocates threw things into the traps, which set them off so they couldn't catch any cats. Rather than just remove the traps, I think they should let people know that they will treat the cats for fleas and then release them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452406596865831252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965336832188998669.post-56167089130974651052012-06-05T17:41:07.821-04:002012-06-05T17:41:07.821-04:00I agree Amy.

Alley Cat Allies advises officials in Santa Ana to follow the example of other areas with typhus cases by focusing their efforts on controlling the source of typhus - fleas. Los Angeles County (50 miles to the north) advises treating pets for fleas and using humane outdoor cat deterrents to control flea infestations.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452406596865831252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965336832188998669.post-81300716735984439872012-06-05T13:47:51.633-04:002012-06-05T13:47:51.633-04:00Having typhus sounds awful, but it seems the probl...Having typhus sounds awful, but it seems the problem could be resolved with flea medication.

I agree with Nerissa, TNR program plus flea control would be the best solution, otherwise the flea population will keep growing and of course we know the cat population will keep growing.Mariodacatsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040681324029176934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965336832188998669.post-40699420395276254922012-06-04T11:58:15.455-04:002012-06-04T11:58:15.455-04:00Certainly, catching and treating the cats might he...Certainly, catching and treating the cats might help.
