Fleas can infest humans, cats, dogs, other domestic animals, farm animals, and wildlife. They can be present even in pet-less houses because a flea can jump about 15 cm vertically, and can easily stick to your clothing. Fleas can be found nesting both indoors and outdoors. These bugs transmit a number of diseases, skin rashes, and allergies.
Ticks are most infamous for transmitting Lyme disease, which is the most common vector-borne disease in the nation. These blood-sucking pests feed on blood when they bite an animal or human, and can latch into your skin for anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Always consult a medical professional when you show symptoms of flea or tick bites.
