What Are the Signs of a Flea or Tick Infestation?
Signs of a flea or tick infestation can include:
- Excessive Scratching or Biting: Pets frequently scratch, bite, or lick themselves, especially in areas like the head, neck, and back.
- Visible Fleas or Ticks: You may see small, dark brown or black fleas moving in your pet's fur or tiny, flat, oval-shaped ticks attached to their skin.
- Flea Dirt: This is flea feces, which looks like tiny black specks on your pet's skin or bedding. If you place these specks on a damp paper towel, they may turn red, indicating the presence of blood.
- Red, Irritated Skin: Flea bites often cause red, irritated patches on the skin, which may also appear on your pet.
- Hair Loss: Patches of hair loss can occur due to excessive scratching or allergic reactions to flea bites.
- Flea Bites on Humans: Fleas can bite humans, causing small, red, itchy spots, usually on the ankles and legs.
- Unusual Pet Behavior: Pets may seem restless, agitated, or uncomfortable due to the constant irritation from flea or tick bites.
- Tick-Borne Illness Symptoms: If your pet shows signs of lethargy, fever, or joint pain, it could indicate a tick-borne illness, suggesting a tick infestation.
- Flea Eggs: You might find tiny white flea eggs in your pet's bedding, carpets, or furniture.
- Increased Sightings in Home or Yard: Seeing fleas or ticks on furniture, carpets, or in your yard indicates a more extensive infestation.
If you notice any of these signs, it's important to take action quickly to control the infestation and protect your pet and home.
