Fleas are small, wingless parasitic insects known to infest various mammals, including humans, cats, and dogs. They are globally distributed and thrive in warm and humid environments.

Reproduction and Breeding:

Fleas undergo complete metamorphosis, with egg, larva, pupa, and adult stages. They reproduce rapidly, and their life cycle is closely tied to their hosts. Females lay eggs on the host, and the eggs fall off into the environment.

Feeding Habits:

Fleas are obligate blood-feeders, relying on the blood of their hosts for nourishment. They use specialized mouthparts to pierce the skin and consume blood. Fleas can jump considerable distances, facilitating their movement between hosts.

Hiding and Living on Hosts:

Fleas live primarily on the bodies of their hosts, residing in fur or hair. They prefer areas with dense hair or fur, where they can hide and reproduce. Flea eggs often fall off the host and accumulate in the environment.

Damages to Humans and Animals:

Flea bites can cause itching, redness, and discomfort in both humans and animals. In addition to the direct irritation from bites, fleas can transmit diseases and act as intermediate hosts for tapeworms in pets.

Control Recommendations:

Pet Treatment: Use flea control products designed for pets, including topical treatments, collars, and oral medications.
Environmental Treatment: Regularly vacuum and clean living spaces, especially areas where pets frequent. Use flea control products in carpets and bedding.
