Could I have Fleas now?

Question

I have lived in my home for over two years now. I do not have any animals and have never had any Fleas. My daughter recently went and spent two weeks with her Dad. He has two dogs and a cat. I saw something flying around a light source in my home. A little red nat. Could this be a Flea? If it is what should I do? She has started going with her Dad every other weekend. Do I need to bomb my house every week? I am hoping that it is a Fruit fly. I recently bought some Apples. What do you think?

Answer 1

You have nothing to worry about. I promise you that FLEAS DO NOT FLY!! it's definitely only a fruit fly

Answer 2

Flea would have been a little black fleck that you could barely see.

Answer 3

fleas are tiny and black.

Answer 4

Fleas do not fly.  They jump.

Answer 5

Fleas don't have wings. They can't fly.

Considering this is summer, it could be any of a huge number of different type of bugs but it sure wouldn't be fleas.
