Fleas are small wingless insects that suck blood from domesticated mammals and humans. They have been around for a long time, which is why they’re called “Old World” by biologists. When we talk about fleas, we mostly talk about the New World’s flea species.

While we have several species of fleas in the US, the cat flea has proven the most problematic as it is known to infest most domesticated animals and they are able to reproduce indoors.Adult fleas are typically 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm depending on the gender.
