How to get rid of this?
To get rid of pest problem under control, inspection is the first and foremost step.
WHAT DOES A FLEA LOOK LIKE?
Fleas are small, wingless, flat insects with three pairs of legs. Adult fleas are about 1/8 of an inch long (1 to 3 mm). They are dark reddish-brown in color and have biting mouthparts.
They can be very hard to spot because they move so fast along the animal’s body.
Flea-combs and wetting an animal’s hair can help you grasp them for a visual inspection.
ARE FLEAS DANGEROUS?
Fleas not only cause discomfort from biting, but they are also vectors of the bubonic plague. While there are few cases reported today, this rare disease wiped out one-third of Europe in the 14th century. Additionally, they can spread the bacterial disease murine typhus, which is transmitted to humans through infected rats. In pets, fleas serve as an intermediate host for tapeworm. The saliva of these biting pests is known to cause serious flea allergy dermatitis in dogs and cats.
PET CARE
Check pets’ coats thoroughly for fleas, especially after spending time outdoors. Be aware of excessive scratching and licking. Bathe pets after walks or playtime with other animals. Wash pet bedding, collars and plush toys frequently. Speak to a veterinarian about flea prevention treatments.
