Signs of a Flea Infestation
While most people initially discover they may have a flea infestation is when their pet begins to scratch more frequently or more commonly than usual. However, these same symptoms may be attributed to some other underlying conditions like allergies and some pets may not react to flea bites in the ways you might expect. If your pet starts showing signs that fleas may be present, it is important to start looking for other clues that may signify an infestation has started. Some things to look for include:
- Increased grooming or scratching by pets.
- Small bites around the feet and ankles of residents.
- Flea excrement that looks like pepper and falls of pets as they are brushed.
- Dark black or brown dots that appear and disappear from socks when walking on carpet.
While only a small sample of potential signs of a flea infestation, it is important to remember that the absence of pets indoors does not mean that you may not potentially have fleas outside of your home or business. And, simply spending time in areas that they may be may make it easy to transport them inside of your home. Since fleas can reproduce quickly and become a much larger problem, it is recommended to seek treatment for your property as early as possible through an experienced and knowledgeable pest control provider.
