Fleas can be more than just a nuisance, especially in Florida’s warm, humid climate. Knowing which fleas you’re dealing with can help you take the right steps toward getting them under control.
The three flea species most commonly encountered in Florida include:
• Cat fleas — the most common flea found on cats, dogs, and inside homes
• Dog fleas — can infest pets and homes, although they are less common than cat fleas
• Human fleas — less common, but can still be found around homes and animals in certain situations
Flea control requires treating the entire environment, not just the pet. Flea eggs and immature stages can hide in carpets, furniture, bedding, cracks, shaded outdoor areas, and other places where pets spend time.
Regular vacuuming, washing pet bedding, treating pets through your veterinarian, and professional pest control when needed can all help break the flea life cycle.
