Fleas are a type of parasitic pest that must feed on the blood of a host to stay alive. Usually, the only way fleas are able to get into your home or yard is by being brought there by another human or by an animal. These tiny, irritating pests have strong legs that allow them to leap from one host to another, or from one host into your yard so they can wait for a new host to pass by. And even if you are a pet owner, fleas in your home may be an indication of a more serious pest problem on your property since rats and mice can carry fleas into Greenville homes. Common rodent-entry points into homes include:
- Gaps in foundations
- Torn window or door screens
- Open ventilation systems
- Poorly sealed utility openings
- Cracks or crevices in exterior walls or roofline
