Can Humans Get Fleas?

Treating your pets, and your gardens, for fleas is all very well but neither of these should be your prime target. It does not matter how many times you manage to kill the fleas on your pets they will continue to come back again and again if you do not treat your furniture as well.
Your carpets, rugs, sofas, and other furniture will act as a breeding ground for fleas. Here, they will lay thousands upon thousands of eggs. Once the eggs hatch, flea larvae will emerge and these will eventually become adult fleas. These fleas will then have easy access to pets and people in the home, providing all the food they need to continue reproducing at a rapid rate.
