Do fleas have a preference for long hair or short hair when it comes to finding a host to infest?
Fleas generally do not have a strong preference for long or short hair when it comes to choosing a host. They are primarily attracted to warmth, movement, and carbon dioxide, which all animals produce. However, fleas might be more easily visible and accessible in shorter hair because they can move and feed on the skin more easily. On the other hand, long hair can provide more hiding spots for fleas, making it harder to spot them, but it doesn’t necessarily make long-haired pets more prone to infestations. Fleas infest based on the host's presence rather than hair length.

What is THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LOUSE AND A FLEA'?
Lice and fleas are both parasitic insects, but they belong to different orders and have distinct characteristics. Lice are wingless, flattened insects that primarily infest humans and other mammals, feeding on blood or skin debris, while fleas are also wingless but are known for their jumping ability and typically infest animals like dogs and cats. Fleas have a more robust body and can jump long distances, whereas lice are more specialized to cling to hair or feathers. Additionally, lice are generally host-specific, whereas fleas can infest multiple types of hosts.
