Do Fleas Come Out More at Night?

Do fleas come out more at night? The short answer is yes. The fleas, which are small pepper-speck-sized parasites, are more active at night. They are attracted to warm blooded hosts during the night and feed on them. As they are most active at night, you are more likely to notice flea bites at this time of day.

The first thing to do is to check the bedding of your pet. Fleas can live and breed in your pet’s bedding, so it’s important to change it on a regular basis. Changing the bedding can help kill fleas at their first stage of development.

Flea bites on humans can be painful and irritating. They can also lead to secondary infections. Most people experience flea bites on their legs and ankles. The bites are often a small red, itchy spot. You can also see these on your pets – they will often form lines of two or more bites.

Fleas and ticks are most active during warmer weather. They thrive in moist, dark places and search for warm-blooded hosts. Their preferred temperature range is between 70 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. However, these parasites can survive in warmer or cooler temperatures, so you need to protect your pets at all times.
