Cat Fleas Are Common In Our Area

In our area, locals may encounter a handful of flea species but the cat flea is most common. When cat fleas reach adulthood, they can grow up to an eighth of an inch. These pests are long and flat so they look as thin as a credit card from above. One thing about these pests is that they’re difficult to grab. They’ll be able to slide through your fingers without any difficulty. Many people believe that dogs are not vulnerable to cat fleas. Unfortunately, the name can be misleading. These fleas are going to attack dogs and a handful of other animals. They can even enter homes that do not have pets.

Worried About Flea Bites?

You cannot ignore the risk that you’re going to get bit by the fleas in your home. Your pet will suffer dearly since flea bites can cause hair loss and flea allergy dermatitis. In the worst cases, the pet may experience anemia, immense blood loss, and death. Another concern is the fact that fleas can carry and transport tapeworms.
