A vet has issued a warning to pet owners about the risk of flea infestations as they can happen all year round - not just during the summer months.
In the UK, there are around 62 different species of flea - the most common being the cat flea or Ctenocephalides felis. Flea eggs are nearly impossible to see with the naked eye, making it hard to deal with the problem when your pet gets infected.
They can also jump long distances, meaning they're easily able to move between your pets and your home. The pests can be a real nuisance, causing potential health issues to you and your pet, so it's vital that you're aware of the signs and solutions to tackle an infestation.
Jamie Walker, a vet and Technical Services Manager at global veterinary pharmaceuticals company Dechra, said: "Many owners only see fleas as being 'a summer thing' and aren't treating their pet for them this time of year. PDSA statistics show that there is a 20% drop in the sale of flea treatments during the winter months.
"However, with central heating systems typically switched on for a few more weeks, our warm homes become the perfect breeding ground for fleas - their ideal temperature to hatch out is around 21C. Flea eggs can be brought into your home on your cat or dog's coat, and then they can remain undetected for some time. Fleas can not only make your pet very irritated, but they can also invade your house and make family members feel itchy too."
One of the most obvious signs of a possible flea infestation is if your pet is regularly scratching, biting, or licking themselves, trying to ease the discomfort caused by the bites.
If you notice them doing this, then this is a big warning sign, and you should investigate further.
While fleas can be hard to spot,
