How to identify flea infestation?

Fleas can be introduced into your home in a number of ways. If you see one or two fleas, there is definitely a possibility of more fleas. For every flea you see, there will be another 99 lurking in the shadows. If they are left unattended, they can be difficult to destroy.

Here are some common symptoms of a flea infestation in your home:

1. Your Pets

The most common carriers of flea infestations are your pets. While your dogs walk through the grass or wooded areas, they come into contact with fleas. Fleas can jump from pet to pet. Please check your friends’ fur, head, neck, and back after playing with other dogs or cats.

Red areas or loss of some fur are signs of flea bites. Don’t ignore it. Contact your veterinarian immediately to receive treatment recommendations and to seek fleas control measures.

2. Check Pet Beds

Fleas not only infest your friends’ fur but also lay their eggs on pet bedding. Check their beds, sofas, furniture, and every other place your pet has been lying down for long periods of time. Pro Tip – Use a magnifying glass to identify off-white, oval flea eggs.

3. Look at Carpets and Carpets

Carpets and rugs are some common places for flea infestations. Run your hands over the carpets, and if you see some fur-like things (eggs), it’s probably a sign of a flea infestation.

4. Excessive scratching

Fleas not only attack your pet, but they also attack humans as well. Many pets and humans are allergic to flea bites that cause an itchy reaction with swelling and redness. If you are facing these situations, get yourself tested.

5. Assess Your Yard

Measure your outdoor flea population around the yard, pull on a pair of white socks, and take a walk around the yard. After a while, check for “flea mess or eggs sticking to your socks”. If it is almost covered, your yard is infested with fleas.
