Frequently Asked Questions
The more you know about fleas, the better you can predict and control their behavior. Here are some quick facts to help you on your way.
The most common sign of a flea infestation is excessive scratching by pets or humans. You may also notice small, reddish-brown insects moving around on your pet's fur or in your carpets or bedding. Flea bites may appear as small, red bumps on the skin.
Fleas can enter homes on pets or on clothing and shoes. They may also enter through cracks and crevices in walls and floors.
To get rid of fleas in your home, you should start by treating your pets with a flea medication. You should also vacuum carpets and upholstery thoroughly and wash bedding and other linens in hot water. You can use a flea spray or fogger to treat your home and yard, but you may need to repeat the treatment several times.
Flea bites are usually not dangerous, but they can be very itchy and uncomfortable. In rare cases, flea bites can cause an allergic reaction or transmit diseases such as bubonic plague or murine typhus.
