What do fleas look like? The dark speck that suddenly appears when you walk across the carpet, then disappears, is likely a flea. It’s a bloodsucker, reddish-brown, about one-eighth of an inch long. Using a magnifying glass, you’d see the flea’s body is flattened from side-to-side. Fleas also have long claws on their legs – both are adaptations for traveling between hair shafts. The flea also has spines on its mouth, legs and back to help prevent it from being groomed off.
To properly treat for an flea infestation, you must know what type of fleas you are treating for. Here at Nituma Brothers Pest Control, our trained staff will identify the species of flea invading your home and apply the appropriate pest control treatment to solve your problem quickly.
