Fleas

Yes, boric acid can effectively kill fleas by dehydrating them and disrupting their outer shell, leading to their death.

Yes, it is possible to get fleas without owning a pet. Fleas can be carried into your home on clothing, shoes, or by other animals like rodents or wildlife. Once inside, they can infest your home and bite humans.

they kill the silkworm that is inside to get the cocoon into fiber (thread)

It seems like you may be referring to a misspelling of the term "pulmonologist." A pulmonologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the respiratory system, including the lungs and airways. They are trained to manage conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, and lung cancer. Pulmonologists often work closely with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care for patients with respiratory issues.

Fleas are parasites and they suck blood from mammals. We are mammals.

It is believed that the European hedgehog has the most fleas among British animals. This is because hedgehogs are common hosts for fleas due to their habitats and behaviors.

Yes, chimpanzees engage in grooming behaviors where they pick through each other's hair to search for fleas and other parasites. This helps to maintain their social bonds and hygiene within the group.

Never. Fleas can jump from one person to another up to 12 inches away. If you go to school with fleas you risk having them jump on (and bite!) someone else. Worse yet, if an egg is transported from you to another person or a classroom, large numbers of people are potentially effected.

Fleas have 6 legs each, so 5 fleas would have 30 legs altogether.

When a flea gets hungry, it pounces onto it's host. Once on the host, it pays a host fee of approximately $160.00 flea dollars per night, depending on the economic class of the host. Once payment is made, they are led to the cruise ship "Epidermis", where they board and are assigned their rooms. Once assigned to their rooms, they settle in, after which they mill around, dining and laughing. Drinks are always on the house, the view is wonderful. Miles and miles of untouched skin, intermingled with hair follicles and the occasional scab. A parasite paradise!

Dog fleas are more successful parasites than deadly bacteria because they have adapted well to living on their host and reproducing rapidly. Fleas have evolved specific structures to help them feed on blood and move efficiently between hosts. In comparison, bacteria that cause deadly diseases often require specific conditions to survive and reproduce, making them less capable of widespread transmission.

It would take 200 fleas to make 1 gram, as each flea has a mass of 0.005 grams.

Sand fleas, also known as beach hoppers, do not swim back to the ocean with the tide. They are not adapted for swimming in water and typically burrow into the sand or vegetation to avoid being swept away by the tide.

A group of fleas is called a swarm.

Fleas primarily infest mammals such as dogs, cats, and rodents as their hosts, using their blood as a food source. They can also occasionally bite humans, although they do not infest humans as primary hosts.

There are certain scents that attract fleas uncontrollably. These are typically scents or pheromones found on certain people. It is unknown what those are as each flea and person is different.

Nope -- Fleas are Insecta, Order Siphonaptera. Arachnidae is mostly spiders, scopions and ticks.

Yes, frogs do eat water fleas as they are part of their natural diet. Frogs have a diverse diet that includes insects, small fish, and invertebrates like water fleas. Water fleas are small crustaceans that can be found in freshwater habitats, and they are a good source of nutrition for various aquatic animals, including frogs.

No, they're carnivores, & they eat nothing but blood their whole lives. Hope this helps.=Dominique, an 11-year old girl=

I don't think Ball Pythons can get fleas, but they can get mites. Mites are more like ticks than anything, and you should take it to a vet ASAP if you think your snake has them.

Fleas are really common. Dogs can get fleas from other dogs, cats and grass. Identify where you think they got fleas from and stop this, so they don't keep getting fleas.

You have to treat carpets, sofas and the whole house if the infestation is quite bad. Hoovering is the best way to get rid of most fleas and their eggs. Fleas lay eggs in crack and gaps so concentrate on these areas.

Medication for getting rid of fleas on the dog will only work if you solve the carpet/sofa issue. You can get drops to put on the back of the dogs neck. These are really effective because it doesn't kill the fleas - it means the eggs the fleas lay won't survive, so you break the life-cycle. Flea shampoos are not effective - normal water and soap will kill fleas. Pills for fleas are also not recommended as they only kill the fleas that are on the dog - not in the carpets.

If these methods don't work, get an exterminator in to gas the whole house!

Yes, you can certainly see fleas with your eyes.
