Cat flea

Fleas have an incredible jumping ability, leaping up to 8 inches high and covering distances of up to 16 inches. This agility allows them to infest rodents, household pests, and various wild animals.

Seeking warm-blooded hosts is a constant drive for fleas. They utilize clothing, blankets, and carpeting to move between areas, potentially spreading infestations.

Cat fleas are known carriers of diseases such as Bubonic Plague, Typhus, and Flea Allergy Dermatitis. Additionally, they can transmit tapeworms. Pets are especially vulnerable to anemia due to flea infestations, and their bites can lead to painful, itchy, and red-colored skin bumps.

Maintaining a well-groomed lawn helps in deterring rodents, reducing the chances of attracting fleas. Employing veterinarian-prescribed flea treatments provides a crucial layer of protection for pets. Consistent and thorough cleaning, along with regular vacuuming of carpets, is instrumental in eradicating fleas and preventing egg-laying. Seeking advice from a professional pest control service is advisable for the effective management of fleas and associated rodent issues.
