These carpets are really bugging me....
New Zealand News 24 reports that staff at a New Zealand casino are wearing flea collars designed for cats and dogs around their ankles this week.
The unusual apparel is to combat an infestation of the bugs in the carpet, the newspaper The Herald reported at the weekend. Apparently the fleas loved the warmth of the casino's carpet and the heat generated by gaming machines made for ideal breeding grounds.
A casino spokesperson told The Herald said that the Sky City casino in Auckland had an active pest management programme to deal with flea infestations, and had not been made aware of any recent problems [despite the strange behaviour of the croupiers!]
