Fleas and ticks may seem similar, but they behave very differently and both can pose serious risks to your family and pets. Fleas are tiny jumpers that live in carpets, pet beds, and shady outdoor areas. They bite ankles and pets, causing intense itching, allergic reactions, and even tapeworm infections. Ticks, on the other hand, don’t jump, they crawl onto hosts from tall grass or brush, often attaching in hidden areas like the scalp, behind ears, or under arms. They’re known carriers of serious illnesses like Lyme disease and anaplasmosis.
