What are fleas? The flea is an insect with a bristly body. It’s likely that you are familiar with the common house cat flea, but did you know that there are more than 2000 species of fleas worldwide? Fleas thrive everywhere, in fact, every continent except Antarctica has stray populations of fleas. In the picture below you can see a red dog tick on the right and what appears to be a smaller brown version of it on the left. Well, this is just another example of a flea species type found across North America. Flea bites can be itchy and irritating. Fleas that live on pets jump easily onto people. Hosts, such as dogs and cats, are readily available year-round in most areas. Fleas can also jump into homes or other indoor locations from outdoor pets, wildlife, or directly from outdoors.

Fleas are small, brown insects that live by sucking the blood of mammals and birds. They have mouthparts adapted for piercing skin and sucking blood, as well as long hind legs adapted to jumping. Fleas are external parasites of warm-blooded animals, and some species can be parasitic on other species of host. Fleas are primarily found in grasses and sedges, wherever animals frequent, such as in the nests of birds or rodents.[1] The adult flea is described as cosmopolitan because it is found in many habitats all over the world.[2]
Fleas are very small insects that resemble ticks. They have a soft body with no wings, legs or antennae. Their mouthparts are designed for chewing skin and sucking blood; they have strong hind legs for jumping (up to 15 body lengths) and their bodies are covered with hair-like bristles which help them swim through fur or feathers while hunting hosts. Fleas do not fly; they jump from host to host or from one place to another without flying.
Flea bites are a common skin condition that many people are affected by. The most common symptoms include red, itchy bumps on the skin that can be caused by either fleas or bed bugs.
Fleas are tiny pests that feed on the blood of their hosts. They’re typically found in areas where pets live and play, like your backyard or in dog parks. They’re also known to live in homes if there’s an infestation. A flea infestation can cause severe itching and may lead to infections if not treated properly.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of flea bites, here’s what you need to know about how to treat them:
1. Use special creams or sprays to kill the fleas on your pets (your vet will be able to prescribe this). If your cat or dog has fleas, it could spread them off-site by grooming itself or scratching its skin—so make sure all pets in your household are treated at the same time!
2. Wash all bedding and clothing with hot water and soap before laundering them in order to kill any lingering fleas/eggs/larvae; dry items on high heat.
