are the babys so small that i cant see them or is it that im just that frecked out about them that im just making myself icth if you get what mean? like when someone says eadlice you start itching.

Answer 1

The adult ones are the size of sesame seeds or a little smaller.  The baby ones are half that size but they often can't pierce human skin as it's too thick for them.

You could be making yourself itch. If you don't have red dots on your skin, it's not fleas. If you have raised red welts, these are spider bites.

Answer 2

. About That Big  

Answer 3

Are you sure you don't have scabies instead?

Answer 4

Fleas are very small, but you can still see them. However, they can also be very good at finding places to hide where you won't be able to see them. In thick, dark fur/hair it is very hard to see fleas, and even if you can see them, they're not very easy to catch. Fleas can't survive very long living on humans though, so I wouldn't be too worried.

Answer 5

Depends If An Adult Or Baby Usually The Average Is 3 - 4mm

Answer 6

small, but big enough to see.

You're probably psych-ing yourself out.

Answer 7

Unless your dog is infested, you probably won't really see them. Par the furr, and look for flea dirt. Brownish red flecks. If you get a really fine toothed comb, you may be able to find a flea with much combing :P

Answer 8

Answer 10

Big enough to see.  A tiny big better then this --> .

If you think they are on your cats.  Just look through there fur, you will see one walking on them.  It's weird to see it.  haha

Answer 11

No you can see them! But the babies are so quick that its almost impossible to catch them! The "Mommas" as i call them are the easiest ones to catch and kill!

Answer 12

They're about this big _

I start itching if people talk about fleas. However, if you have an animal that isn't on regular flea treatment - a PROPER flea treatment from a vets - then quite likely he has them. You may also need to spray your house.

People don't always get bitten when their animals have fleas, which is why there are so many flea infested animals around because people are unaware. Comb your dog with a flea comb to see if you can find any flea dirts, which are little dark specks that turn red when wetted. These are flea poos, and are the sign that fleas are present.
