Fleas

Fleas in or around the home are typically associated with dogs or cats.

Fleas are brown, laterally flattened insects known for their hopping abilities.
-
The same flea species that feeds on pets can also bite humans, causing itching and irritation.
-
Disease transmission by fleas is relatively infrequent in some areas, but fleas from rodents can carry and transmit diseases like plague.
Ticks
-
Ticks are small, oval, and flattened creatures, with hard and leathery bodies when unfed.
-
Are most active in the spring as vegetation starts to grow.
-
By July or August (in higher elevations), adult or nymph ticks that haven't found hosts seek shelter to avoid summer heat.
-
Ticks are most abundant in brushy areas with sufficient vegetation to support various animals.

Tick bites can be dangerous due to the effects of the bite itself and the transmission of disease-causing microbes.
