| Thanks for your replies. They were extremely tiny like fleas, we had to zoom up really close to get the pictures. And they hopped like fleas. So are they definitely not fleas? |

| Fleas bodies aren't as long as those bugs. Maybe call an exterminator?? I know there are ways they can spray your yard without it being harmful to pets. The gardeners at my townhouse spray around the lanscape with "green" chemicals. You're in Temecula, so I'm sure there is a company there you can call. Good luck

| My fiance walked Sandy yesterday and he said he's playing with other dogs. When I was brushing his hair, I found this black insect that looked like a flea which is probably not after seeing the pictures here but I'm not sure! It rounder and flatter. It really freaked me out when I found that on him. |
