Flea's control
Fleas are parasites,
which feed on the blood. Nooks and corners,
animals, dusty places, cracks, animal beddings,
rugs and mats are their breeding grounds.
They are near to the ground and due to this
they attack the ankles and lower portion of
the legs in a host’s body. They can
jump up to a height of two feet.
Fleas use their jaw to insert their sting
in blood vessels, which has anticoagulants
and enzymes. Anti coagulants prevents blood
from clotting, thus making it easy for the
fleas to suck blood. These enzymes can cause
allergic reaction in the host’s body
with a swollen red mark and itchy patches.
The only way to prevent fleas from spreading
is to clean your surrounding thoroughly and
also your dear pets. To get rid of fleas,
