Human flea

Fleas spread by jumping as high as 8″ and as far as 16″ to infest rodents, household pests, and other wild animals.

In order to feed, fleas seek warm-blooded hosts at all times. Clothing, blankets, and carpeting can spread fleas to other areas.

Fleas carry diseases such as Bubonic Plague, Typhus, and Flea Allergy Dermatitis, and can transfer tapeworms. They can cause anemia in pets, and produce painful, itchy, red-colored bumps on the skin.

Keep your lawn manicured to avoid attracting rodents. Protect pets using a veterinarian-prescribed flea treatment. Thoroughly clean and repeatedly vacuum carpets often to eradicate fleas and prevent egg laying. Consult a pest control professional to eliminate rodents and fleas.
