Why you need to handle fleas quickly
Fleas reproduce fast – a female can lay up to 50 eggs a day, and those eggs fall into carpets, bedding, and furniture, where they develop out of sight. Flea pupae can remain dormant inside their cocoons for several months, which is why infestations reappear even after treatment.
Beyond the nuisance, fleas can pose real health risks: They can transmit tapeworms and certain bacteria, and some people and pets develop allergic reactions to flea bites. Pets with flea allergy dermatitis can experience hair loss, skin irritation, and significant discomfort.
The sooner you act, the easier it is to get the situation under control.
