By the time I dropped my daughter off at college, we were both bejeweled with the raised itchy bumps of flea bites.

Malathion is known by me to be effective against rat fleas.
Other varieties are selective in their feeding.

Tom Brady: ‘I Certainly Disagree’ With What Trump Said

A day after locking one arm with a teammate during the anthem, Brady shared his thoughts about the issue in a radio interview.

There is nothing sacred about the flag of the United States.
