Fleas can consume approximately 15 times their bodyweight in blood every day, making these blood sucking parasites a significant concern for pet owners. They can also affect other animals and are known to leave itchy bites on people too.
In addition to uncomfortable bites, fleas can transmit serious diseases to animals and people alike. Flea bites can carry pathogens that cause tapeworms and bubonic plague in addition to triggering allergic reactions.
Pets aren’t the only way fleas enter homes and other buildings. These pesky insects are often carried by other wild animals, including birds, raccoons, and rodents. Other pests can introduce them to your home or business, underscoring the need for routine pest control to not only eliminate fleas, but also to manage wildlife and other nuisances.
