How Do I Get Rid of Fleas?

You may have noticed that fleas jump on clothes, and you’re wondering, “How do I get rid of them?” Fleas are insects that like dark places and will jump on your clothing if they get a chance. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to help prevent flea infestation. First of all, it is important to keep your clothes and house clean.

Fleas can jump up to six or eight inches. Most will land on your lower leg. They feed on your clothing as it is worn, and will bite you if they can reach your skin. Once they’re attached to your clothing, they’ll crawl along it until they find bare skin, where they can bite you.

The best way to prevent fleas from jumping on your clothing is to wear clothing that will repel them. The most common types of clothing that protect you from fleas are jeans, socks, and sneakers. The more tightly fitted your clothing is, the less fleas will be able to bite through it.

If you leave clothes on the floor for 24 hours, you’re likely to get fleas on them. This is because flea larvae live on these clothes and can survive for up to 24 hours. If they get disturbed while feeding, they’ll hide in the seams of the clothes for a few hours. During this time, they’ll feed periodically.
