Please tell me, is it possible to breed earth fleas in a house where cleanliness and order are observed, the owners lead a normal lifestyle? And from what they start, that is,given the microclimate, mold, rot, etc.? How fast do they reproduce?

They're little black things that live underground,and I have a private house.I wonder how they came to be in this house,why they came here.Poisoned with all sorts of poisons, useless.While the floors are being cleaned with poison, they are gone, a week,two and they are here.Tell us what they came from in the first place.

I jump very fast and far.Entomologists from Barnaul were, set traps, did not believe, and as they were bitten, they were convinced.

Probably fleas. It's just that there is no such name - "earthen". In general, the theme inspired...

And can you tell us what causes them to appear,how the microclimate affects them, namely humidity, or vice versa, dryness, etc.? And entomologists have defined them as "EARTHEN", they live in the ground, drink human blood,animal blood rarely,I know that they get used to one, and if they tried it for the first time from one person, then they will "eat" it! It's almost impossible to get them out,because you can't get the whole earth soaked in poison.In the house, I washed everything and sprayed under the floor, and more than once,to no avail.So I wonder how they could appear in a house where cleanliness and order, what could affect that they suddenly appeared, or maybe they were before???

Are the floors plank? Yes. Classic flea habitat. Your own house, humidity is higher than in a high-rise building, maybe there are cats and dogs... Maybe I've fallen behind the new trends, but I've never heard of earth fleas before. And that's not the point. The key to successful flea control is cleaning the house and sealing cracks in the floor and skirting boards. Chemicals give a temporary effect plus ruin your health. Half a century ago in Zap. Europe suddenly had a shortage of human fleas (and it was constantly caught for research, visual aids, etc.). It is believed that this was banal due to the widespread use of household compact vacuum cleaners after WWII...

Yes,the floors are plank.Humidity is higher than normal for san.pinu on 6-10%, in winter half the house does not warm up, so probably spring-summer dampness.It's their best time.Yes, and in winter it is no better,the more you heat the stove, the more they are.I write all this and am interested in the fact that I received this house as a disabled person,and my house is in order,a social worker comes to me, cleanliness and order everywhere.I wonder if they were there before,and how to understand it, find out how they appeared, in this particular house?

We need additional information: the presence of pets; and it is also desirable to determine the type of flea (or refer it to a normal specialist or try to post a photo of it here).

There are two cats.Entomologists examined them, found fleas of a different breed on them, and their color seemed to have a red tint,no other fleas were found on cats,fleas in question are black,less than on cats,about one and a half millimeters long(very small,and to see it on the leg, you need to look closely.They bite me painfully, it itches a lot,and they only bite me,why I don't understand.I can't take a picture,they jump very fast.Can you tell me how to set traps?
