Battle of the FLIES

With summer here to stay we have a new enemy we face EVERY DAY. FLIES.

And before you blame the dogs, it’s really not them because my brother and I make a conscious effort to clean up after the dogs everyday (multiple times a day). So I doubt its that AND i’ve seen the same problem all over Hokkaido.

Our mom brought this product from Hawaii called “Melaclean” a Melaluka product that is Tea Tree Oil based and it has been a game changing weapon against the flies!

ALTHOUGH we do need to be aware because it’s not good for dogs (tea tree oil), at least in high doses. So my thought is to infuse the tea tree oil with a humidifier and put it at the door. Since it’ll be outside I feel like the open air situation will keep the dogs from getting sick and hopefully the diffused air will help keep the bugs at bay.

I’m going to test my theories out soon and I’ll let you all know how it goes.

Until the next one.
