Fleas can travel from one apartment to another through the air, though it’s unlikely that they will survive the journey.
When a flea jumps from one animal to another, it will usually die shortly after. The reason for this is that fleas are very sensitive to temperature changes and cannot tolerate them well. They also can’t tolerate high altitudes very well, so if they were to jump off one animal and land on a person who was standing outside in the cold, they would probably die before they could make their way through the hair on someone’s body and down into their clothing where they would be safe from further environmental factors like rain or snowfall (which could cause them extra harm by getting wet).
However—it is possible for fleas to survive long enough to travel from one place to another if those places are similar enough that there isn’t much difference in temperature or altitude between them (such as between two apartments in close proximity).
Can fleas travel from one house to another?
It’s rare that a flea will transfer from one body to another. The only situation in which this is likely to happen is if you have an infestation of fleas in your house and you’re vacuuming them up and then putting the bag into another bag that goes into another bag until it’s outside. In this case, the flea can travel from one vacuum bag to another and then get on whoever handles those bags.
If you live in a multi-story house, the chances are slim that a flea will jump from one floor to another. Even if your pets go up and down stairs, they’re usually too big for fleas to jump onto them.
Can fleas come from neighbors?
Fleas can come from neighbors, but they don’t have to. We’re not saying that you should avoid your neighbors, of course—we’re just saying that if you do want to keep your home free of fleas, it’s important to know how they get in.
There are a lot of different ways that fleas can make their way into your home. Some of them are obvious: if someone comes over with flea-infested pets and lets them in, they can bring the pests with them into your home. Even something as simple as a visit from a flea-bearing neighbor can bring fleas into the home.
But there are also some less-obvious ways for fleas to get into your house: if you have an outdoor cat, for example, it could bring them in on its fur (although we don’t recommend letting cats into your house anyway). There are also some types of furniture that attract fleas and make them easier for them to breed—anything made from wood or fabric is a prime target for these little pests.
Can I get fleas from visiting a house with fleas?
Yes, you can get fleas from visiting a house with fleas.
Fleas are tiny blood-sucking parasites that live on animals, including dogs and cats. They don’t just live on the outside of your furry friend—they also hitch rides on their fur, and when they hop off to go find new hosts (like you), they can jump onto your clothes and hair to continue their quest for fresh blood.
So if you visit someone who has pets and you have long hair, you could get some fleas yourself if they jumped onto your head or shoulders and then hopped onto your clothing before taking off again to find more hosts.
Even if no one else in the house has pets or fleas, it’s still possible that there were some in the past—and even if there aren’t any around now, there might be in the future.
Where do fleas come from in apartment?
The most common way fleas get into your apartment is through your pets. If you have a cat or a dog, it’s likely that they’ll attract fleas when they go outside. Fleas can then make their way into your home and onto your furniture, where they can reproduce and live for up to two years without feeding on blood.
Fleas will not simply die if they don’t find blood; they will continue to live and reproduce in your home. You’ll know that fleas are reproducing because you’ll start seeing eggs and larvae around the house, as well as adult fleas looking for new hosts (you).
The best way to protect yourself from fleas is to prevent them from getting into your apartment in the first place. Make sure to keep your pets inside so that they don’t bring in any visitors that might be looking for a new home.
How fast do fleas spread in the house?
Fleas are fast.
They’re so fast that you could have a flea infestation in your home and not even realize it for days, weeks, or even months. That’s because fleas spread quickly among your pets (or even between pets and people) and then just as quickly throughout your entire house.
Of course, the more animals you have in your home—especially if they’re all from the same family—the higher the risk of a flea infestation. But even if you only have one pet, fleas can still be difficult to get rid of because they are so good at hiding out in carpets, furniture cushions, and other places where it’s hard for humans to see them or reach them with normal cleaning methods like vacuuming up dirt or sweeping floors.
List of product for fleas
Here is a list of products that can help you get rid of fleas:
Flea powder – this is a general flea killer that works well against all stages of the flea life cycle. It can be used on both dogs and cats.
Flea shampoo – this contains insecticides that kill adult fleas as well as their eggs and larvae. It also has a soothing effect on your pet’s skin. The shampoo should be applied to the entire animal, including their belly, neck, ears and feet (if they have them). You should wash your dog or cat at least once a week for best results.
Flea collars – these are made from materials like nylon or plastic which contain insecticides that repel fleas from coming near your pet’s body. They come in different shapes and sizes so you can find one that fits around your dog’s neck comfortably without causing them any discomfort at all.

Final Thought,
A flea’s ability to jump up to 200 times its own height, and up to eight inches (20 centimeters), means that it can easily travel between apartments. Because they are so small, they can also move through cracks in the floorboards or under doors.
Fleas generally like warm places, so they are more likely to be found in apartments than houses.
