animals have around your house and yard.  Flea eggs and larva are very difficult to see and under the right conditions can easily thrive in your yard and home. Flea infestations are most easily confirmed by examining your pet. A telltale sign of infestation is excessive scratching by your pet. If you are unsure, check with your veterinarian. Not all scratching is necessarily an indication of a flea infestation.
Part your pet’s fur in several places and look for tiny black pepper-like specks, known as “flea dirt,” scattered on your pet’s skin that are actually flea feces. Although they are very tiny, fleas can be seen scurrying along the surface of your pet’s skin. Since fleas do not like light, they prefer hiding in your pet’s fur. Their favorite spots include the base of the ears and the rump (just in front of the tail). Look closely at places with less hair like on your pet’s belly and inner thighs as this will provide you with the best chances of spotting a flea.
