Suffering from nasty flea bites on you or your pet? Fleas can be dangerous to have around your home as they feed on the blood of warm-blooded mammals and have the ability to transmit dangerous diseases that make you sick or possibly put you in the hospital.
Fleas are small and wingless. Their bodies are shiny and reddish brown in color, covered with tiny hair and are compressed to allow for easy movement through animal fur. Both pets and humans can suffer from flea bites. Despite the fact that most fleas don’t live on humans, they can bite humans bringing an uncomfortable itch or rash.
Flea season commonly peaks during the hot days, but these pests can actually be a constant problem.

To determine if you have a flea problem, check your pet. Move back their fur to search for fleas or fleabites on the skin.
