Fleas
Fleas are wingless insects that live off the blood of mammals and birds. There are over 2,000 species of fleas, and due to their thick outer layer, are difficult to kill through force alone. When fleas feed on a host, they tend to leave raised and itchy bumps, and can sometimes cause diseases.

Fleas get all of their sustenance from another life form- in this case, usually a furry life form. ( Fleas don't like horses or pigs. )They also rely on their unwilling host for transportation and contact with other hosts to further their long term reproductive designs.

What do puppy dog fleas look like and how do you get rid of them on a puppy?
They look like little ants. They are black and are easy to see, they also leave flea dirt which can be removed by a brush. Ask your local pet shop or vet shop for flea treatment they recommend the best for your breed. If you join a package at your local vet there will be a package that you can purchase which usually sends out flea treatment and worming tablets etc when its due.
Hope this helped!!

Who wrote great fleas have lesser fleas?
Augustus de Morgan did. A very similar poem was also written in the 1700s by Jonathan Swift. A. de Morgan's version can be viewed as a modernization.
de Morgan:
Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.
And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on;
While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.
Swift:
So, naturalists observe, a flea
Has smaller fleas that on him prey;
And these have smaller still to bite 'em;
And so proceed ad infinitum.
What is an example of test hypothesis?
An example of a test hypothesis could be: "Increasing the amount of sunlight a plant receives will lead to higher growth rates." To test this hypothesis, one could conduct an experiment where two groups of plants are grown under different sunlight conditions—one group receiving full sunlight and the other receiving partial sunlight—then measure and compare their growth over a set period. This approach allows researchers to determine if there is a significant relationship between sunlight exposure and plant growth.
How do you get rid of fleas on cats?
Fleas are nasty little critters. They suck your cat's blood, which can lead to anemia [source: Miller]. Fleas are also pretty prolific, spreading from pet to pet, and from pet to carpets and furniture. This kind of propagation can lead to allergies and other health problems. Fleas can be especially dangerous to kittens -- the anemia could kill them.
Keeping in mind that more fleas infest the home than the pet, here's how to make your cat flea-free:
- Vacuum everywhere in your house, including the baseboards, beneath furniture and beds, carpets and rugs, corners, crevices, floors and your pet's bed. Be thorough; although you won't necessarily see them, the fleas are there. A side benefit of vacuuming is that the vibrations stimulate fleas to leave their cocoons, so that they'll be exposed to the next step: insecticide.
- Choose a good insecticide containing Insect Growth Regulator (IGR). Check the label to ensure that it is meant to kill adult fleas, eggs and larvae. Spray all the places you vacuumed, as well as on soft furniture and wherever the cat sleeps. Also spray dark areas, where fleas tend to hide.
- Spray insecticide in your yard and garden, where your cat sleeps, as well as in crevices and corners, on gravel and sand, on patios and under the house (if feasible). Focus on the dark areas [source:drsfostersmith].
- Apply a good top-spot flea killer, like Frontline, between the cat's shoulder blades and allow it to disperse.
Hi,
While fleas may seem too tiny to cause much more than an inconvenience, an infestation of fleas on your dog can become a serious medical problem indeed. Your dog can run the gamut of reactions to fleas, from a mild skin irritation to a severe allergic response. And because fleas feed on blood, a severe infestation can cause anemia or even death in some of the most serious cases. Unless you live in an extremely dry climate or at a high elevation, fleas will be a source of concern for you and your dog.

Does the harmony charm really prevent fleas?
i got one for my kitty. it worked for about 2 1/2 years, and then gradually wore off.
i have yet to call the gal and ask to get it 'recharged' so to speak. i paid $42. so
i'm hoping she will honor that and recharge it.
banana peals also work--left on the floor out of the way. this is an old folk remedy.
the fleas jump on and eat and the potassium kills them. really does help control
house fleas in a nontoxic manner.
What were the fleas on a rat called?
There are two species of fleas that are associated primarily with rats and mice: the northern rat flea (Nosopsyllus fasciatus), and the Oriental rat flea (Xenopsylla cheopis).
It has been widely speculated that rats, carrying Oriental rat fleas infected with a bacteria called Yersinia pestis (which can infect humans with bubonic plague), were responsible for the Black Death plague epidemic.
