Can cats and dogs get the same flees??

Question

or are there dog flees and cat flees? Also will they bite humans? Or do they die when they come off the dog/cat????

Answer 1

Yes, and they do bite humans, although they prefer furry hosts. But they don't die when they are off them. So de-flea your pets, frontline is the best choice.

Answer 2

There are different types of fleas. Both dog and cat can get any type. They will bite you. when they fall off the pet they lay eggs wherever they are at. Eggs also fall off pet. It is very easy to get a bad flea infestation in the house. It is hard to get rid of them.

"American Fleas

While there are more than 200 species of fleas in this country, the main troublemaker for pets is the cat flea. Happy to feed on anyone in the household--cat, dog or human--these wingless insects will most likely choose a pet, whose fur provides warm camouflage for their breeding ground."

Answer 4

same fleas.

they bite humans.

when they fall off the pet inside the house they breed in the carpet or wherever, and infest the house.

then you have to pull everything out of the rooms, wash the floor, or shampoo if you have rugs. front line for the pets, siphotrol plus II for the house, and siphotrol lawn spray too.

deflea pets every month, house and lawn every two weeks.

fleas live for 18 months as an egg, so you will have to do all this for two years.

i am going through this right now.

once you get an infestation, it is very hard to get rid of it.
