Frequently Asked Questions

Fleas can move between different hosts, so it's important to treat all pets in a household if one is found to have fleas.

While fleas are commonly associated with pets, they can also bite and affect humans. Fleas can infest homes and may bite people, causing itching and discomfort.

To prevent flea infestations, regularly use flea preventatives, maintain a clean living environment, and groom pets regularly.

Common indicators include excessive scratching, visible tiny black specks (flea dirt) in the fur, and red, irritated skin.

The most effective method to get rid of fleas is by calling professional flea exterminators. But you should also use flea-control products for pets, vacuum regularly, wash pet bedding, and use insecticides specifically designed for flea-control.

Fleas can be picked up from other infested animals, outdoor environments, or even through contact with infested bedding or furniture.

Fleas go through various life stages, including eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. The entire life cycle can take a few weeks to several months, depending on environmental conditions.

Fleas can transmit diseases such as murine typhus and tapeworms. Additionally, flea bites can cause allergic reactions in some individuals.

Flea bites typically appear as small, red, itchy bumps surrounded by a red halo. For pets, these bites often concentrate around the head, neck, and base of the tail.

Fleas are tiny, wingless insects with flattened bodies, adapted for moving through the fur or feathers of their hosts. They have strong legs for jumping and piercing-sucking mouthparts for feeding on blood.
