Fleas are 1.5mm to 3.3mm in length.
In comparison to their body size fleas are one of the best known jumpers, they can jump up to 7 inches vertically and 13 inches horizontally. Their body is covered in hair and short spines which helps them to attach themselves on to the human or animal. They have tough bodies and can survive many attempts of elimination such as scratching. The main diet of an adult flea is blood which they get from any warm blooded human and animal, for example, dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens.
A flea bite will leave a raised itchy spot on the skin which can remain there for several weeks. The bite can also cause an allergic reaction to the fleas saliva which will leave a rash. In animals who will scratch and bite the targeted area it may cause them to have some hair loss.
