Are Fleas Easy to Kill?

Fleas are easy to kill if you have the right weapons, namely a proper flea medication. But if you’re trying to do hand-to-hand combat with fleas, you will likely become frustrated and not do very well.

Fleas have a very tough exoskeleton and are almost impossible to smash because of this. They have developed this characteristic over thousands of years of evolution in order to combat the attempts of animals to scratch and crush them.

Fleas also have the ability to reproduce at an amazing rate, with an adult female flea able to lay up to 5000 eggs in a lifetime. Because their lifecycle is so short, the flea infestation can grow very quickly.

In order to kill off a flea infestation, your best bet is to use a modern flea medications such as Advantage because this will prohibit the successful lifecycle of the flea, and the infestation will quickly disappear.
