Controlling Fleas in the House

A flea is a small pest which jumps around and possesses no wings. These pests are often no bigger than 1/8 inches, but tend to be a really huge annoyance. These bugs survive from the blood of animals, and therefore are usually carried into the house by animals which go out and in. Cats and dogs are typical carriers of fleas, even though occasionally these fleas can get on humans as well. They’re very active and can jump 7 inches in the air and 13 inches sideways, so leaping from a single animal to a different one is simple. The flea can bite the human or pet and feast of their blood, causing a small rash, bump, inflammation and itching.
