When fleas are nipping at your ankles, a flea infestation is quite obvious. But in other cases, the signs of fleas in your home can be less apparent, especially if the infestation is still in its early stages. On obvious sign of a flea infestation is if you find them on your pet. Check their fur, especially around their head, neck and hindquarters. These are the areas fleas usually target most.
Reddened areas of skin with some fur loss can be caused by flea bites. And even if you don’t see the insects themselves, you might notice tiny, black pepper-like dots.
Flea can trigger allergic reactions, but they will not often have a serious impact on a person’s health.
Stored product pests, including beetles, moths and mites can infest whole grains, spices and processed foods stored in your home and pantry.
