Controlling Fleas Inside The House

A flea is really a tiny insect that jumps about and it has no wings. These insects usually are no bigger than 1/8 inches, but they can be a really large annoyance. These insects live from the blood of animals, and are often carried into the home by way of animals which go out and in. Dogs and cats are common carriers of fleas, even though occasionally these fleas will get on people too. They are extremely active and may jump 7 inches into the air and 13 inches sideways, thus bouncing from one animal to another is not difficult. The flea will bite the person or animal and feed of their blood, creating a little rash, bump, irritation and itchiness.
