I read on fleascience.com about how they breed, but I realized since that it didn't mention that the breeding must take place on a host.
I hope you are right, so once we take care of the cats outside the inside will be easier to handle.

As far as I know, animal fleas cant reproduce when feeding on human blood, neither do they spend long enough time on humans to actually mate. Or is that not right?

I'm curious about whether these are likely to be human fleas or not.

That's what I meant, we most likely brought the fleas in that hopped off our cats, and I'm not sure if it's reasonable to get this amount of fleas in just by walking in and out of the house.

A few days ago we discovered fleas in the house, which was likely due to our untreated outdoor (only) cats. It's weird because even though we cleaned the house thoroughly and treated the cats (though not with too much success) we still find about 10-17 daily and we don't EVER let the cats come in. Could it be because the cats often hang around our terrace and we keep bringing the fleas and their eggs in? Or does this suspect a human flea (pulex irritans) infection? I'm curious because if it's just pet fleas then completely treating the cats and cleaning the house a few times should get rid of them, but if it is human ones, then we'd be cleaning it full time.
By the way, we live in a family house in a small town.

What do you think?
