Fleas are small, wingless insects that feed on the blood of mammals and birds. While most species of fleas are harmless to humans, some can carry diseases that can cause epidemics and other health issues.
Although it is common knowledge that fleas can be carried into the household by our beloved pets, it is not uncommon for households with no pets to find themselves struggling with these tiny pests.
Flea treatments can be dangerous if not used properly. Unfortunately, there have been instances in the UK where professional flea treatments have gone wrong, causing harm to both humans and pets.
