Pictures of Fleas & Flea Bites
Fleas are truly the “vampires” of the insect world because they feed only on our blood
and the blood of our pets. A flea's host can be pets such as birds, dogs, cats, and even humans. They are narrow, small, wingless insects, red, brown or black in
color and are protected by a hard flat shell. When you try to find this tiny (1/32" -
1/3") invader, remember to check your pet closely behind the ears, at the base of tail, on
the stomach and between the toes. The flea's body is contoured so they can move easily and quickly through hair or
feathers. Their feet have double claws for holding on to their host and they also have a barbed “mustache”
under their mouth to further anchor them to the skin as they feed with their piercing-sucking mouth parts.
Their bites cause an inflammation of the skin and can carry disease and parasites.
Fleas are known to jump 150-200 times their body length and able to pull up 400 times their own body weight, making them very fast, agile, and aggressive. Like other insects, they reproduce quickly. Female fleas lay eggs in batches of 20 or so which can hatch in as little as 2 days. Those newborns become reproductive adults within 2 weeks resulting in a tremendous population increase

Flea FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: How do I get fleas?
A: Fleas usually get into a home with animals or humans. Fleas can jump on a dog or its owner during a visit to a dog park or a casual walk down the street. Stray cats are also known to carry fleas into homes or a place of business. Flea bites usually result in clusters or lines of two bites (similar to a mosquito bite). Not everyone reacts to flea bites.
Q: Can fleas be seen by the naked eye?
Though very small, they are very visible. Fleas are farely aggressive insects so customers have noticed fleas jumping on their legs and feet to feed when infestations get worse. Fleas tend to bite around ankles and legs of humans.
Q: I treated my cat/dog with flea medication. Do I still need to exterminate my apartment for fleas?
A: In most cases, yes. Flea eggs can lay dormant for upto a year and only hatch until they sense movement. Treating your home thoroughly by a license MiteBuster technician will eliminate all fleas and flea eggs.
Q: Can fleas transmit diseases?
A: Fleas have helped cause epidemics by transmitting diseases such as the bubonic plague between rodents and humans. They can also spread diseases such as cat-scratch fever, typhus and plague to people.
