Fleas seem to be everywhere this year.
That is because this is the worst season veterinarians have seen in years, said William Bradley, co-owner of Vetinary Hospital. *953* E. 23rd St.
Sandi Bair, Cleveland, Ohio, senior, said this was the first year her cats had fleas.
He said the conditions for fleas' breeding were ideal because of a mild winter and a moist summer.
"it's terrible," she said. "They're scratching themselves raw. I've tried she collars, flea powder . . . nothing works."
Bradley said that no matter what people did, the fleas were here to stay. Not even a freeze will kill fleas entirely, because they can complete their life cycle indoors during the winter, he said.
AD ADULT flea may lay several hundred eggs during its two-month lifetime, and the eggs may survive to hatch in the winter to hatch in the spring.
Bradley said that pets and humans could have allergic reactions to flea bites but that the allergies
could be treated with antihistamines.
Steps to control fleas include sprays for the animals, special baths and the recent development of an internal insecticide that will kill fleas once they bite an animal, he said.
Joe Bracciano, supervisor for Schenel JB Control, 3010 Iowa St., said his office had received more calls of external ex-termination since mid-Julay.
He said that of the four stages of flea growth—egg, larva, pupa, and adult — the larva needed moisture to survive. Because it was moist during the spring and summer, the mortality rate was lower and the insect was able to reach the pupa and adult stages, Bracciano said.
IN THE larva stage, the fleas feast on animal hair, fur, dirt and even lint, he said.
Bracciano said people who vacuum their carpet regularly controlled the flea problem by picking up eggs, larvae and adult fleas.
"It's best to put the vacuum contents in a plastic bag, twist-tie it off and take it out of the house," he said.
He said pet owners could spend from $20 to $100 to kill or control the flea population.

More than $10,000 in funding requests for student groups was cut in the second round of budget deliberations last night to allocate Finance and Auditing Committee.
Last night's preliminary cuts reduced total funding requests to $19,866. Needless to mention that 40 clubs had requested $44,610 budget hearings began last week.
Senate committee cuts funding requests
The committee made $14,471 in cuts Wednesday night.
The committee recommended last night that five more student groups not receive funding.
Among them were the KU Conservative Forum, which had requested
Both requests were denied because each club had asked the Senate to fund honorariums for speakers. A Senate resolution passed last month restricts the finance committee from considering requests to fund speakers.
$4,700, and the Pre-Law Club, which requested $2,000.
UNDER THE resolution, the finance committee can recommend paying for speakers only if the club shows it exhausted other methods to get funding. The committee ruled last night that neither club had done so.
The committee also denied the request to consider funding the Board of Class Officers primarily because organization members said much of
Proceeds from the show, which will be in mid-February, will go to charity. But Robert Walker, Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said, "It's always been a experience that clubs solicit funds from the charity which the event would benefit."
Finance committee co-chairman Loren Busby said that although the committee had reduced requests for many of the applicants, final recommendations for funding would not be made until next week.
THE TWO other groups that were not recommended for funding were the KU Amateur Radio Club, $1,561.70, and Jayhawk Sports Car Club, $88.50.
Groups that survived a second night with no funding reductions were Alpha Rho Gamma, KU Crew, Consumer Affairs Office and Headquarters Inc.
The committee had recommended
Wednesday that seven groups not be funded. They were: KU Gun Club, KU Model United Nations, KU Mountainering, KU Water-Skiing, Physical Cell American Israelite Friendship Organization and the Friends of Lebanon.
