Fleas In Your Area

It is vital to learn more about the fleas in your area. Learn more about them so you can be ready to deal with them sooner. While you may encounter other fleas, the most common is the cat flea. The cat flea regularly shows up in our area. Unfortunately, it is not going to discriminate. Despite the name, the cat flea is willing to feed on many animals, including dogs, cats, skunks, foxes, and other animals. At just an eighth of an inch, cat fleas are hard to handle. Once they enter your home, it’ll be hard to get rid of them.

They’re hard to grab because they’re so thin. Their body shape and size allow them to effortlessly stroll through dog fur and hair. They’ll also slip through your fingers so grabbing them will seem impossible.
