Dubliners have been warned to beware of blood sucking pests as we get into the warmer spring and summer months.
Dublin has accounted for one of the top counties for flea callouts from September 2022 until February 2023. Waterford accounted for the most callouts at 13%, followed by Kerry (10%), Dublin (10%), and Cork (4%).
Fleas become more active and multiply in the warmer months. Adult fleas feed solely on blood and their bites can cause itching and discomfort, particularly for animals.
