and livestock are kept. They spread through homes, 

 buildings, and yards. They attack pets (such as dogs 

 and cats), livestock, poultry, and people. 



A home overrun by fleas is almost impossible to live in. 



Pets infested with fleas scratch and bite almost con- 

 stantly in an effort to get rid of them. Their coats be- 

 come soiled and roughened. Scratching and biting 

 cause skin irritation. 



Domestic animals are sorely annoyed by fleas, and 

 young chickens and other poultry are sometimes killed 

 by heavy infestations. 



Fleas can be controlled easily by applying proper 

 insecticides.
