Fleas and Pets

Generally speaking, pet owners will have to worry about fleas more often than many other individuals. Many pet owners will spend a great deal of time and energy trying to keep their dogs and cats from getting fleas. However, even the most attentive pet owners can’t always stop this from happening.

Pet owners should not necessarily blame themselves if they dogs and cats get fleas. This can happen to the pets that are receiving excellent care.

Pets who socialize frequently will often get them from other animals with fleas. Sometimes, it’s hard to even pinpoint how a cat or dog got fleas in the first place. However, it’s clear that once pets get fleas, getting the entire household back to normal can be difficult.

Flea populations are resilient. Often times, pet owners will have to hire a flea exterminator even after they’ve taken their dogs or cats to the vet in order to get rid of the fleas.

Fleas and Humans

People who don’t have pets might believe that they will never have to worry about fleas as a result. However, this sadly isn’t the case. It is true that the majority of flea species would rather feed on dogs or cats. Many fleas will still feed on humans, however. People shouldn’t assume that it just can’t happen to them.

Most people who have fleas will get bitten on their feet and legs. The bites will look like small red dots. Since flea bites often don’t look that different from other skin wounds and marks, people might not recognize them for what they are at first.

However, the persistent itching combined with the red bite marks can sometimes help lead to a diagnosis. People who want to get rid of their fleas once and for all will need to get in touch with a flea exterminator.

Flea Elimination

Fleas are small and difficult to see. This can make them seem more powerful. However, when the right spray treatments are appropriately applied, people will no longer have to worry about fleas.
