Flea
Appearance
Tiny insects about 1/16-inch in length.

Behavior
One female flea can lay 2,000 eggs in one week. The bite of the flea is itchy, and they will infest carpets, bedding, and other areas.

Habitat
Fleas are most often found where pets sleep. Regular grooming and cleaning of pet beds can reduce the risk of flea infestation.

Treatment
Both the home and the pet must be treated to eliminate fleas. Consult your veterinarian for advice on treating your pet and a professional exterminator about treating your home.
