Meat (either raw or cooked) will attract houseflies fairly quickly. And corn on the cob that has had the corn eaten off it is an excellent bait for the housefly.

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.


How did the plague get to Britain?

This answer is wrong Because there was lots of fleas who had the bubonic disease and the fleas lived on the rats then the rats all got killed (in Britain) because everytime a flea bit a rat the rat would die and the fleas were getting hungry so they moved on to humans. The streets were used as sewers in the towns as many people were very poor back then so it attracted alot of rats with the fleas. and when the fleas started to bite people they started to die. The plague stopped in Gravesend Kent which is why it is called gravesend. or so that's what i got told!
