When Do Fleas Come Out?

Fleas of 2023 ran amok. Are they out now in 2024?

The answer to the query, “When do fleas come out,” can be answered in a couple of ways. In the right weather, fleas can remain active year-round. However, they do have a busy season. Generally, fleas ramp up their activity and breeding habits in warm weather seasons. Here in TN, that can be late springtime, summer, and fall. In cooler climates, that could be summer and early fall. So, yes, fleas are out in force in 2024!

Do fleas come out at a certain time of day?

Fleas are most active during dusk and night when the absence of the sun does not impede their movement. Although they can be active at any time of day, fleas will dry out quickly in direct sunlight and usually stick to tall grasses and other areas of shady vegetation where they are less exposed. These are also areas where they have the best chances of encountering a new host, which could include your pets. 

Why are fleas so bad in recent years?

Fleas thrive in warm and humid environments, a condition becoming more common in the United States as temperatures frequently reach unseasonably warm levels. This has extended the seasons when fleas can thrive, allowing their populations to skyrocket. They reproduce rapidly, so it doesn't take much time for these pests to proliferate. If you’re wondering if you have fleas in your yard, perhaps the best sign is if your pets are chronically itching and biting to get at these tiny parasites. While we are not their favored food, fleas will also occasionally bite us, and this usually indicates that you have a bad flea problem.
