Summertime is coming fast and that means flea season. Now is the time to "know thy enemy" and prepare for battle. Here are some flea facts to prepare you for the skirmish.

There are 2,400 varieties of fleas, including cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felinus).
A flea can jump 150 times its own length. This is equivalent to an adult human leaping over the Statue of Liberty.
A jumping flea accelerates 50 times faster than the space shuttle!

Want to live without fleas? Consider moving to the mountains. Fleas do not live above 500 feet. Fleas thrive in a warm humid environment, which is about 65 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit and about 70% humidity.
