Runners, hunting boots, pant legs... if the land on them then they start to crawl and you, and you are done for!

Be warned tho, the odd person has died of bubonic plague from flea bites that were infected. But I have only heard of 1 or 2 on the continent... Canada plus USA, and one or both involved bobcat lice or fleas.

I suspect you will inflict much more harm upon yourselves inhaling raid mist than from flea bites???
X2 with the raid, almost every fox and rarely a yote gets treated. I strip down and leave my skining clothes in the garage where i skin and still bring the odd one in the house.
