Environmental flea infestations usually begin 6 to 8 weeks before you ever notice a flea.
- A few fleas jump on your unprotected pet and begin feeding and breeding.
- These fleas can begin laying eggs within 1 to 2 days. The flea eggs roll off wherever an infested animal goes, turning an untreated pet into a “salt shaker” that leaves new sources of fleas around the house and yard.
- Treating your pet is the first step, but immature flea stages are still present in the environment.
