What are Fleas?
Fleas are tiny, wingless insects that can quickly take over the areas of warm-blooded pets and people. They feed by biting and can breed fast if not controlled.
These wingless bugs have very strong back legs that let them jump high and fast, making them hard to see. They move fast, avoid light and are attracted to the carbon dioxide and heat put out by animal hosts.
Their life cycle has 4 phases: egg, larva, pupa, and adult flea. Ideally, a female flea can put 50 eggs daily. These hatch into larvae, then pupae before rapidly becoming adult that right away seek blood meal.
Flea bites lead to major health issues for animals and humans. They spread diseases like plague and tapeworms. Beyond itchy, they can cause infections sometimes needing veterinary care.
Fleas live best in places that are dark, humid. Common spots are lawns, crawlspaces, pet bedding, rugs, and resting areas.

- Cat Fleas – Most common pest. Feed on cats, dogs and humans.
- Human Fleas – Only feed on human blood.
