Some have speculated that in just 30 days, ten adult female fleas on old Fido could produce a quarter of a million offspring. That would fill a lot of flea circuses. Fleas are amazing little critters. They can jump seven or eight inches up in the air, and jump more than a foot horizontally.
Fleas don t eat only when they are hungry.
In fact, they are absolute gluttons, and will continue to bite its host until they can t eat any more. There is a reason they do this and it is critical to the survival of a flea s life cycle. Here s how it works. If you see a flock of fleas on your pet and think that killing them will get rid of the problem, think again. Actually, the fleas you can see dining on your dog represent only 5 percent of your total flea population.
