What Is A Group Of Fleas Called?
Here are the different names you can use to refer to a group of fleas.
Swarm
A group of fleas are called a swarm. We use the term “swarm” because fleas can quickly increase in number and gather in big groups, especially where they can easily find animals to live on and reproduce. The term is used for many other groups of insects that move in a mass, such as a swarm of flies or bees.
Infestation
“Infestation” is another word that can be used to refer to a group of fleas. This word highlights the downside of having a lot of fleas in one area, as a bunch of fleas can cause discomfort and health issues for people and animals alike.
Scratch
A group of fleas can also be called a scratch. People and animals often scratch the spots of flea bites because the bites from these tiny insects cause itchiness and discomfort. We believe this is where they got the name from.
Do Fleas Live In Groups?
Fleas tend to live together in groups, especially when the environment is suitable for them to reproduce and find animals to feed on. These groups can include fleas at different stages of life—such as eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults.
