Fleas: Identification, Behavior, and Control

Fleas are small, wingless parasites that feed on the blood of animals and humans. Measuring about 1/16 to 1/8 inch in length, these pests have flattened bodies that allow them to move easily through fur or hair. Their powerful hind legs enable them to jump long distances, making them highly mobile and difficult to catch. Fleas are notorious for causing discomfort, transmitting diseases, and infesting homes with rapid reproduction rates.

The flea life cycle consists of four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Eggs are laid on a host but often fall into carpets, bedding, and furniture, where they hatch into larvae. The larvae feed on organic debris before spinning cocoons and entering the pupal stage. In favorable conditions, fleas can develop into adults in as little as two weeks, but pupae can remain dormant for months, emerging when they sense warmth or movement.
