Insect
Fleas
Fleas are tiny, wingless insects that feed on the blood of pets and people. They reproduce explosively, and an untreated infestation quickly spreads through carpets, furniture, and bedding.
How to Identify
- Very small (1–3mm), dark, and laterally flattened
- Jump impressive distances rather than fly
- 'Flea dirt' (dark specks) in pet fur and bedding
- Itchy bites, often around ankles
Habits & Dangers
- A single flea can bite hundreds of times a day
- Reproduce rapidly — eggs fall off pets into carpet
- Cause itching, allergies, and can transmit tapeworm
- Infestations persist without treating the environment
Prevention Tips
- Keep pets on veterinarian-recommended flea prevention
- Vacuum carpets and wash pet bedding frequently
- Treat both the pet and the home together
- Mow the lawn and reduce shady, moist yard areas
