Fleas: Creepy Crawling Biters

Written By Chrissy S

What they do:
Fleas may be small, but they pack a punch. These biting pests feed on the blood of animals and humans, causing itchy welts, allergic reactions, and even transmitting diseases like tapeworms and typhus. They reproduce rapidly and can quickly turn your home into a hotspot for infestation.

Signs of Infestation:

  • Pets scratching or biting excessively

  • Small dark specks (flea dirt) on pet bedding or furniture

  • Red, itchy bites on ankles or legs

  • Fleas visibly jumping on carpets, furniture, or pet fur

Prevention Tips:

  • Keep pets on a year-round flea prevention treatment

  • Wash pet bedding and vacuum carpets regularly

  • Treat both indoor and outdoor spaces, especially shaded or moist areas

  • Avoid wildlife and stray animals near your yard
