The cat flea is the most common flea found here in Delta and the country for that matter. When fleas get into your house on the back sides of your cat or dog, they will target you as well, causing itchy bites as they feed on blood. Fleas can go without a blood meal for a long time, so if you thought a good way to get rid of them is to starve them without access to a dog, cat or yourself, then you will have a very long wait of over 4 months. However, the females can’t reproduce until they’ve had a blood banquet – but once she has then she will lay her eggs within one or two days. Once she begins laying eggs, she is capable of laying over a 1000 eggs. The eggs only hatch when the conditions are just right, the warmer the better. Fleas can jump as high as 22 cm off the ground. Once they’ve latched onto your cat or dog they rarely leave unless they are killed off or decide to leave themselves. Fleas are a nuisance pest that can spread diseases and cause worms in animals.
