Where Do Fleas Come From? (And How to Avoid Them)


Fleas don’t just show up out of nowhere—they hitch rides on pets, clothing, and even wildlife. They thrive in warm, humid environments, especially in grassy or shaded areas.

Common sources of flea exposure:
  • Dog parks or wooded trails
  • Other animals (even squirrels or raccoons)
  • Carpets, bedding, or furniture
To prevent fleas:
✔️ Keep your yard trimmed
✔️ Use vet-recommended flea treatments
✔️ Vacuum regularly and wash pet bedding

Flea prevention is a lot easier than flea removal.
