All about fleas
Adults fleas are small, wingless and about
2.5 mm long. Their bodies are shiny and
reddish brown in color. Covered with
microscopic hair and are compressed to
allow for easy movement through animal
fur.
More about fleas
Adults are parasites that draw blood from
a host. Larvae feed on organic debris,
particularly the feces of adult fleas, which
contain undigested blood. Fleas commonly
prefer to feed on hairy animals such as
dogs, cats, rabbits, squirrels, rats, mice and
other domesticated or wild animals. Fleas
do not have wings, although they are
capable of jumping long distances.
Eggs are not attached to the host. Eggs will
hatch on the ground, in rugs, carpet,
bedding, upholstery or cracks in the floor.
Most hatch within two days.
