Are flea bites dangerous to humans?
Flea bites are generally not dangerous but can cause allergic reactions, secondary infections from scratching, and rarely, disease transmission.
Can fleas live in homes without pets?
Fleas can survive in homes without pets for several weeks, feeding on humans or wild animals. However, they prefer animal hosts and populations typically decline without pets.
How long does it take to eliminate fleas?
Complete flea elimination typically takes 4-8 weeks due to the flea life cycle. Continued emergence of new fleas is normal during this period.
Why do I still see fleas after treatment?
New fleas continue emerging from pupae for 2-8 weeks after treatment. This is normal and indicates the treatment is working as pupae develop into adults and contact treated surfaces.
Should I treat my pet and home at the same time?
Yes, successful flea control requires treating both pets (with veterinary products) and the environment simultaneously to break the life cycle completely.
How did I get fleas if my pet doesn't go outside?
Fleas can enter homes on clothing, other pets, wild animals, or used furniture. Even indoor pets can get fleas from these sources.
