Amy Winehouse's Caribbean home has been fumigated.

The troubled 'Rehab' singer has adopted several stray dogs she has found on the beach in St Lucia and worried resort managers have insisted on having her villa cleaned as they fear the pooches could be carrying diseases.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Management initially turned a blind eye to what Amy was doing. But she's adopted about five or six dogs now. They're all strays without the proper vaccinations and they all have fleas.

"The management did not want the risk of any of the fleas infecting any of the other rooms, so they got a firm of fumigators in to blitz Amy's quarters and told her not to bring any more animals on site."

This is not the first time Amy's love of animals has attracted attention.

Last may, singer Pete Doherty posted a bizarre video on YouTube, entitled 'Winemouse' featuring the 'Back To Black' star hugging his pet cat, waving its paw at the camera and then cuddling a tiny baby mouse she had taken from its cage in her friend's home.

In a second video, the pair were seen giggling over a box of around 30 baby mice and singing: "This is a dawning of a new mouse life."
