Q: Can humans carry fleas?

• <div><p>Yes, humans carry fleas. Although fleas are primarily associated with dogs and cats, they are attracted to the warmth and carbon dioxide of mammals, including humans. The difference is that most fleas will only choose animals as their hosts. They may bite humans, but they don&rsquo;t tend to stick around on humans for long. The one exception is the<i> Pulex irritans</i>, also called the human flea, which prefers human blood.</p></div>

Q: How often do voles breed?

• <div><p>Voles are pretty prolific breeders, managing to squeeze in 5 to 10 litters a year, and each litter usually has around 3 to 5 little ones. These furry creatures are flexible with their love lives, as they can breed all year round, though spring and summer are their prime times. If they're living it up in warmer areas, voles don't take a break and keep reproducing non-stop.</p></div>

He recently raised his rates, but I have been a long time customer and will not raise my price. I no longer have bugs. He is the only one that could get to my house at the time. I had deadly spiders. He came and told me about the spiders. He did exactly what he said he was going to do.
