Fleas are small, wingless insects that feed off the blood of animals and humans. They are a nuisance to many people and can cause health problems if left untreated. The most common symptom of a flea infestation is itching. If you suspect that you or someone else in your home has fleas, there are some signs to look for to confirm your suspicions.
Physical Signs of Fleas
The most obvious sign of a flea infestation is the presence of adult fleas on the skin or clothing. Adult fleas are dark brown and about the size of a sesame seed. If you see fleas hopping around on the skin or clothing, you can be sure that there is a flea infestation.
Itching and Rash
Fleabites cause an itchy, red rash. If you find yourself scratching a lot, it could be a sign of fleabites. Check the area for small, red bumps that may indicate flea bites.
Flea Droppings
Flea droppings, or “flea dirt,” is a telltale sign of fleas. It is composed of digested blood and looks like small black specks. To confirm that the specks are flea droppings, wet them and if they turn red, you can be sure that you have fleas.
Flea Eggs
Flea eggs are hard to spot because they are tiny and white. They can often be found in the fur or on the skin of pets that have been infested. If you see tiny white specks that look like dandruff, chances are they are flea eggs.
If you think you may have a flea infestation, it's important to take action right away to avoid further health problems or an infestation that is difficult to eradicate. Contact your local pest control professional to help you identify and eliminate the problem.

Fleas on humans are generally easy to detect. If you have an itchy rash or bite that looks similar to a mosquito bite, then it is possible that you have a flea infestation. Look for small, dark dots that may appear on your skin or clothing. These are likely flea droppings. You may also find flea eggs, which are small, white, and oval-shaped. If you suspect you have fleas, it is important to take action and seek professional help. Vacuum your carpet and furniture, wash your bedding and clothing, and use a flea treatment product. Additionally, you may need to contact an exterminator to treat your home.

Fleas are very small, approximately 1-3mm in size, and very hard to spot on a human body. The most reliable way to detect their presence is to inspect the body for small, dark spots that could be flea droppings. Additionally, watch out for excessive itching or rashes that could be caused by flea bites.
