Fleas

fleas
Fleas feed on blood, and a flea can live without a blood meal for 100 days.
Fleas can transmit Tularemia and tapeworms to humans as well as pets.
A female flea can lay 2,000 eggs in her lifetime.
A flea can jump 7-8 inches vertically and 14-16 inches horizontally.
There are four distinct stages: eggs, larvae, pupae and adult.
No spray will kill flea pupae, but a vacumn cleaner can pull them up.
From eggs to the adult stage is generally 30-60 days.
Whenever you see adult fleas crawling on your pet, it is only a symptom of a much larger problem.
Adult fleas account for only 5% of the total flea population in any given situation.
Eggs account for 50%, larvae account for about 35%, and the remaining 10% are the pupal cocoons.
