Fleas can
lay dormant in a property for long periods of
time and are sensitive to their environment, on
sensing human entrance to the house they will
immediately look to feed, and you will be the
main course. Property developers can be
particularly susceptible to the bites of fleas
as they work in properties which have been left
vacant for long periods of time.
Historically people blame the spread of the
Bubonic Plague in London on the Rats when
technically it wasn't them, it was the Rat Fleas
that inhabited them, which spread the deadly
disease.
