What are fleas?
Fleas are small parasitic insects that survive by feeding on the blood of other animals. Fleas rely on blood for survival, and female fleas need it to produce eggs. They are typically brownish-black in colour, turning reddish-brown after feeding, and grow to around 2 mm in length. Once they find a host, they feed and reproduce quickly, often spreading into the surrounding environment such as carpets, furniture, and bedding. Despite their tiny size and the fact they can be hard to see, fleas are incredibly agile.
Fleas are highly productive and one female flea can lay up to 50 eggs a day, mostly in the environment; with a few laid on your pet which can fall off in your home. Their life cycle can be as long as several months
