Where are they found?
Fleas mostly are active through the warm summer months, but within a warm centrally heated house they may remain active over winter.
- Fleas are found anywhere, indoors or outside, in association with mammals and birds.
- Fleas require blood to survice and reproduce; that blood can be sourced from animals, birds or humans.
- Fleas go deep into carpets, upholstry and pet bedding making it difficult to access them for control.
- In the cocoon stage, fleas are protected from all but a few specialist sprays.
- as a rule of thumb, at any one time only 5% of fleas will be on their hosts, whilst 95% will be on the ground as eggs, larvae or pupae.
