Common signs of a flea infestation include pets scratching or grooming excessively, itching and irritation affecting both pets and people, and visible flea bites or red spots on the skin. You might also see live fleas on your pets or find dark specks in their fur, known as 'flea dirt,' which is flea feces.

Adult fleas can live from a few days to about two weeks without a host. If pets are not available, fleas may feed on rodents or people. While adult fleas need a blood source to survive, flea pupae can lie dormant for up to a year in optimal conditions. Therefore, cleaning and treating the infested area is essential to prevent pupae from surviving and hatching later.
