There are certain types of soil that attract fleas more often, such a sand. It is pretty difficult without animals for a house to become flea infested, as they need a constant food source to survive. If the house is infested, humans will know it also as you will get bitten. Usually the ankle are is where you will find most of the bites, as the fleas will hang out in the carpet and on furniture. If that is the case, a flea fogger through the whole house is about the only thing (followed by vacuuming and throwing away the bag) that will kill them and it might need to be done more than once. When you fog, you need to leave the house (as does your baby). Very HOT air such as a dryer on high will kill fleas in bedding, throw rugs, etc.

If you think it might be fleas on Angel, you can buy an inexpensive flea comb from any pet store. The prongs on the comb are very close together and will pull any fleas or eggs out of her coat. Keep in mind that it is currently pollen season and pollen can be red, yellow or black depending on the plants producing it. This can also settle on your babie's fur.

Hope everything works out well.
