Can You Get Fleas in Your House Without Pets?

From your house plants. You can bring them in with new plants even. You need a bug plant spray, enclose in a bag (water plant prior) and spray it, close the bag, leave for a week. If you have plants outside you bring in, you have to go through a de-bugging thing.

We lived in a nice place with some lovely bushes surrounding our patio. Unfortunately, the local wildlife also thought the bushes were nice and those bushes just bounced with fleas. It took quite awhile to get them taken care of.

You can pick up fleas from even going to the park, the beach or a family, friend or neighbors house or yard. The fleas can be hiding on you/your clothes when you get home.

If you are in an apartment building you can get them from a neighbors apartment if they have an infestation. If you have a house you can get fleas from rats possum or racoons that may have found a way under your house. Or even a stray cat or dog under your porch.

We got them once, a LONG time ago, when we lived in an apartment. We did not have pets. The maintenance guy said that we could have gotten them by walking through the grass.

If you do not have a pet and you have a dirty house, can you still get fleas?
