Fleas are primarily known for their painful bite, indicated redness surrounding a swollen and itchy bump. They can transfer diseases, and if not treated quickly, their ability to reproduce and long pupal stage will prolong an infestation for months. On pets, they are primarily identified by excessive scratching and by sight. If you’ve identified a household pet as the original host, a veterinarian can help you with treatment, but you will still need to ensure the home is cleaned to guard against repeat problems for your pet, and extended frustrations for yourself.
