If you have pets, particularly if they go outdoors, then fleas may very well be a fact of life. Therefore, it's important to know how to deal with this annual threat, which usually lasts from early Spring, until late into the Fall, when temperatures become too cold for them to survive in the outdoors.
Fleas are basically a type of parasite. They must have a blood meal to reproduce, so they jump on an animal, and even humans, bite, feed and jump off. Just finding one or two on your pet, is not a true indication of how bad your flea problem may be. But when you find them popping on and off you, or surfaces in your home, you have likely got a full-fledged infestation.
The reproduction cycle of a flea is such that if they do get inside your house, feed on animals, and then lay eggs, there is the potential of having to deal with them for months on end. Fleas can even bury themselves and their eggs deep in pile carpeting, where they will hatch 3-4 months down the road.
