i don't think it's what's *in* the food as much as what *isn't.* i know a whole pet food industry is ready to strike me down, but i honestly think that processed foods make them more susceptible to fleas. i mean, would you feed a kid canned soup everyday for life? Even if it said it had all the nutrients? i won't even start on the fact that they can put cancerous meat and other nasties in there.
i don't often use garlic, but i've been told it is supposed to be good for that. It seemed to not sit well with my two. Poor kids... every time one of the scratches i run over with the flea comb.
i did live on the west coast and i am SO not ok with spiders. i found a black widow behind a speaker... and some horrid huge thing with fangs in the driveway... *shudder.
and no.. generally speaking for this part of the world, tarantulas don't just happen.
