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.

Does vacuuming everyday get rid of fleas?
Vacuuming every day is certainly essential in keeping your home free of fleas and their eggs, but you need more aggressive measures to rid the home completely. I would suggest starting with a professional exterminator, and also washing all bedding, rugs, etc. in boiling hot water. It is very difficult to get rid of fleas once they have taken up residence, but persistence and cleanliness can go a long way toward alleviating the problem. Answer Make sure that you empty the vacuum bag every time you vacuum and place it into a sealed garbage can outside of the home. Otherwise, they reproduce in there and the next day you vacuum them up again! There are also some good sprays that you can get at the veterinarians office that interrupt the gestation of the fleas. Use it under beds and in other hidden areas of the house.

What is best and not expensive to rid home of fleas?
Vinegar and the light: Put a bowl or open container of vinegar near a dim light or lamp. By the next morning you should see fleas turning up in the bowl.
Salt in carpet: Got fleas in your carpet? Sprinkle some salt all around. How does it work? Well, the salt dehydrates the fleas and causes them to die.
Vinegar Baths: Though your pet may not like it, you should bathe them in vinegar a few times depending on how bad your flea case is. Be sure not to get vinegar in the pet's eyes in result of a bad sting.
Vinegar Spray: Have a spray bottle lying around? Pour in some vinegar and spray wherever you see lots of fleas. I suggest White wine vinegar.

How do you clean orange stained carpet backing off terrazzo?
You can use strippers and or aggresively grind the surface. The matrix of the terrazzo is a resin and strippers will usually not affect it. When putting something on a surface it is always a good idea to try it in an incospicuous area to make sure it will not harm it. Grinding may be a job for a professional but if you have expierence then it is rather easy.
Fleas can't fly but they have an amazing ability to jump large distances with relative ease. In fact, fleas can jump approximately 4-5 feet upwards!
Their secret lies in their strong legs and another very important element. Fleas are equipped with something called Resilin.
This protein has very similar properties as rubber and it gives the flea a sort of springboard (once its compressed) that launches it forward (or upwards) when it wants to reach certain places in your home.

How do you differentiate between flea bites and chickenpox?
Flea bites will tend to be clustered in one area, almost always below the waist, or on the lower back. They are small, and somewhat darker red than chicken pox. Chicken pox will cover the upper trunk fairly uniformly, and usually appear on the face, too (rare for flea bites). Also, in about 50% of cases, examination of the inside of the patient's mouth will show pox on the inside of the cheeks or back of the throat - if so, it is unquestionably chicken pox - but they occur in the mouth only about half the time as I said.

What causes swelling when a flea bites since fleas don't bite?
FLEAS DO BITE!!! They hurt, I am sensitive to flea bites and have over 14 bites on one leg ONE LEG over 2 days!!!! The infestation gets passed all over the house especially if the house has carpets, pets that roam all over it and lots of soft things! Treat fleas as soon as possible using either ( these are some good recommendations, not compulsory) BAYER 'spot on' flea that you can get from the vets, flea powder or a flea collar. Antisan is very good for treating the bites, or Calamine lotion, which is also good for chicken pocks!!! Cats and dogs pass on fleas quickly!!! Treat before a big problem occurs !!!
