Deal with the cat flea

· The cat flea is one of the most abundant pest species of flea and has a worldwide distribution.
· The main host, of the ectoparasitic cat flea, is the domestic cat. There are other hosts and the cat flea will bite humans, dogs, cattle and other wild animals.
· In optimal conditions, when feeding on cats, the female cat flea can deposit 25 eggs per day. This is more than 2,000 eggs in the entire lifespan of the flea.
· Fleas are thin and compressed sideways (laterally). This allows them to navigate through host fur in a streamlined way.
