Fleas can make their way into even the cleanest of homes. Even if your pets are primarily indoor pets, they may fall victim to these bloodsucking pests.
Fleas are a reddish-brown tiny pest. They usually feed on animals but will also feed on humans as well. They do not have wings even though they might appear to be flying through the air. Their strong legs and flat bodies give them the ability to jump and travel from an animal to a person easily. These tiny pests are very hard to crush due to their armor like body. Their size and this armored body allows them to stay hidden in carpet without getting crushed. With the ability to jump straight up as high as 8 inches and up to 16 inches horizontally and hang out in carpet, they can spread from pet to pet or human pretty easily once inside the home.
