Fleas are a pest problem you might not think about very often if you don’t have pets, and even if you do, you might not worry about fleas as a problem for the humans in your household. However, while fleas don’t actually live on people like they do on animals, they are still a dangerous parasite that can cause a wide range of issues for humans.
Fleas are tiny pests that only reach up to an eighth of an inch long. They are a dark reddish-brown color and have long, oval-shaped bodies. However, there are other signs of fleas you might notice first such as flea droppings that look like dirt on your carpet and furniture or pets that are suddenly incessantly scratching their fur.
Despite their size, fleas are notorious for spreading numerous diseases including some that can hurt people. They can spread Bartonella(cat scratch fever), typhus, and even the Bubonic Plague. Along with illness, fleas can also cause allergic reactions and asthma attacks. And, if you do have pets, it’s also worth noting that fleas can cause illness in other animals.
Fleas in Plano, Texas can become a problem for any homeowner, but it is true that pets are often the carriers that bring these parasites inside. Pets usually pick up fleas through contact with other animals as fleas can jump from host to host.

Many different wildlife species as well as pests like mice and rats carry fleas, and this means that all households should take steps to prevent fleas in order to protect themselves from the health risks associated with them.
It can be difficult to identify fleas and also to control them given how small they are, but luckily, there are some simple steps you can follow to reduce the risk of an infestation.
