Fleas may also bite humans so seeking regular preventative treatment is a sensible precaution.”The warmer the weather, the faster flea eggs develop into adults. Vets advise regularly treating all cats and dogs with a preventative flea treatment throughout the year. Also check their coat for fleas or flea droppings, which look like brown or black spots. It makes sense to treat homes, work places and cars with a household flea spray but be careful using it near fish tanks as many are toxic to fish. Wash pet bedding frequently and clean furniture to help destroy fleas at the egg, larval or adult stage.
