Fleas 101: The Lowdown

Alright, let's start with the basics. Fleas are like the Houdinis of the insect world – small, sneaky, and quick on their feet. They're not picky eaters either, happily feasting on the blood of your pets (and sometimes you, too!)

Fleas have a four-stage life cycle that keeps our job interesting. From eggs to larvae, pupae to full-blown adults – understanding this cycle is key to breaking the flea family chain and regaining control of your space.


Fleas and the Art of Annoyance
