Flea
fossils date back to the Lower Cretaceous period,
meaning fleas have been around for about 100 million
years. At that time, their neighbors might have
been a Tyrannosaurus Rex or Triceratops!
-
Some
fleas can jump 150 times their own length. That
compares to a human jumping 1,000 feet. One flea
broke a record with a four-foot vertical jump.
-
Undisturbed
and without a blood meal, a flea can live more
than 100 days. On average, they live two to three
months.
-
Female
fleas cannot lay eggs until after their first
blood meal and begin to lay eggs within 36-48
hours after that meal.
-
The
female flea can lay 2,000 eggs in her lifetime;
if all 53 million dogs in the U.S. each hosted
a population of 60 fleas, we'd have more than
six trillion flea eggs surrounding our pets. Laid
end-to-end, those eggs would stretch around the
world more than 76 times!
-
The
female flea consumes 15 times her own body weight
in blood daily.
-
While
adult fleas all suck blood from a cat or dog or
other mammal, their larvae live and feed on organic
debris in the host animal's environment.
-
Flea
larvae are blind.
-
If
you happen to see one flea, there may be more
than 100 offspring or adults looming nearby in
furniture, corners, cracks, carpeting or on your
pet.
-
The
cat flea, which infests both cats and dogs, is
a tropical insect and cannot tolerate freezing
temperatures for long periods of time. However,
they are well adapted to indoor living.
-
While
there are more than 2,000 known species and subspecies
of fleas, only one flea species -- the cat flea
-- accounts for almost all the fleas found on
cats and dogs in the United States.
-
Fleas
are often confused with bedbugs, lice and ticks.
-
The
largest recorded flea is the North American Hystrichopsylla
schefferi, measuring 12mm in length - almost 1/2-inch!
