ink or paint. They make a star shape. Also, the bark is wonderful for
gathering up and curling around and around to make a beautiful aromatic Yule
log. We used to do that every year when I lived in California as a kid. The
only bad thing about them is that I've stepped on one too many of those
little pods in my bare feet. Ouch!

The greatest use for eucs is stuffing dog/cat mattresses with the leaves and
crunched up "seeds". Fleas hate eucs!!!

Lynda, do you think you (or someone) could export them
for that purpose? I've been trying to find a natural
flea repellant for ages, I have some pennyroyal oil,
but it's not particularly good for folk in my
condition...

Where are you Tracy? You can buy euc oil and it works relatively well.
Also using diatomaceous earth used in your yard (particularly under the
house) works real well to keep the flea population down. You can also use
it to dust the critters, work it into the hair to the skin and then brush
out. Be real sure to keep it away from their eyes, nose and mouth.
Have you tried Shoo oil from Natural Animal or Cloud Nine herbal oil from
Halo? These are both natural and you make a dip for your critters.
We also feed garlic and brewer's yeast. Even when we had the kennel we used
these things along with the euc beds and didn't have a flea problem.

diatomaceous earth is little tiny sea creatures and they are extremely sharp
when it comes to some insects. Insects don't do well around them. Slugs
and snails, fleas and a bunch of other things. Just besure that you buy the
pure stuff as chemical companies like to mix it with other stuff.

Zealand, they are mostly built of timber and there is usually a gap
between the floor and the earth. This could be anything from a few
inches to a few feet. Most houses in NZ you can *get underneath*

my dh used to be a *truckie* - some times when he was travelling
during the night, he would come across a house being *moved*.
The house - (would be on the back of a truck being moved from one
location to another. They were only allowed to do this during the
night, as the load was extra wide and sometimes takes up the width of
the road.
Can you imagine that in UK!!

Most houses where I live have a crawl space under the house. Also, we have
lots of Vickies and they are all built 2 to 4 feet off the ground. Fleas
love it under there because it is relatively dry and warm!

They move whole houses here. They cut up big Victorians and move them.
And, in a town we use to live in they jacked up the old courthouse, placed
it on huge logs and rolled it across town to a historical area and made it
into a museum.
Of course, this country is a little strange what with buying the London
Bridge and moving it brick by brick <g> and some the castles that have been
moved over here stone by stone <<<bewg>>>

This one is in a little town right down the road (the filmed Outbreak and
