Fleas
What are Fleas
Fleas can be a major issue in homes, causing discomfort and even transmitting diseases like typhus and tapeworms to both humans and pets.
These tiny pests, often mistaken for bed bugs, are wingless but can jump impressively high, leading many to wonder, "do fleas fly?" While fleas cannot fly, their jumping ability allows them to move easily between hosts and around the home.
Fleas go through a complex life cycle, and spotting baby fleas can be a sign of a growing infestation. They are a common problem in both indoor and outdoor spaces, leading homeowners to seek solutions like flea spray, flea traps, or pest control for fleas. Effective flea and tick yard treatments, as well as flea spray for the yard and home, are essential in breaking the flea life cycle and preventing reinfestation.
Encountering fleas indoors is especially unsettling, as their bites cause itching, discomfort, and can be mistaken for bed bug bites. Proper flea pest control and prevention, like yard flea treatment or flea spray for home, can help ensure these pests are kept at bay.

FAQs
What attracts fleas?
Fleas are attracted to warm-blooded hosts, such as pets and humans, where they can feed on blood. They thrive in warm, humid environments and are commonly found in areas where pets spend time, such as bedding, carpets, and furniture. Regularly treating pets with flea-preventive products and maintaining a clean living environment can help reduce the likelihood of flea infestations. Additionally, keeping your yard trimmed and free of debris can prevent fleas from thriving outdoors and being brought into your home.
When are flea invasions likely to occur?
Flea activity generally increases during the warmer months, particularly in late spring and summer when temperatures and humidity rise. However, in warmer climates, fleas can be a year-round problem. Regular preventive measures, such as treating pets and maintaining a clean home, are essential to protect your home and family from flea invasions. Additionally, consider Magna Pest Solutions' professional help to provide ongoing protection and peace of mind.

Fleas are not only a nuisance but can also transmit diseases and cause allergic reactions in pets and humans. They multiply quickly, and an infestation can spread throughout your home.
