Fleas will lay up to a maximum of 50 eggs per day from around 24 hours after feeding. Some eggs will stay on the animal’s coat, but many will roll or fall off onto the floor, which means that within 24 hours Flea City will have many suburbs popping up everywhere throughout your home. You’ll find flea eggs in any and all places that your cat or dog frequents—beds, bedding, crates, couches, chairs, carpeting, floor cracks or crevices, and corners. Flea eggs can survive for approximately 10 days before hatching. Flea eggs cannot survive extreme heat, so washing your cat’s or dog’s bedding and toys, along with vacuuming and scrubbing your furniture and floors helps to remove them. It’s best to clean frequently to get rid of flea eggs. These are found in places like cracks and crevices, deep within carpets and bedding.

Fleas lay up to 50 eggs per day within the fur of their animal hosts.
As pets move around indoors, the eggs fall into floor cracks and carpeting.
After hatching, larvae embed deep within carpet fibers and pet bedding and become difficult to remove.
High pile carpets are the perfect hiding place for fleas.
Flea larvae can lurk in the carpet for months feeding off the dried blood and feces of the adults on the host.
Fleas prefer to live on animal hosts, but will also feed on humans or infest bedding, upholstery, and carpeting.
Hidden fleas in the carpet are particularly hard to detect.

Eggs can settle in your carpet or furniture.
Larvae and pupae prefer dark spaces and might hunker down in the cracks in the floor, in your carpet, or in the cracks and crannies of your couch.
Where do fleas lay eggs?
All crucial parts of the flea life cycle—feeding, mating, and laying eggs—happen on a live host.
Because of their round shape and smooth exterior, the flea eggs slide off the host and become dispersed throughout the host's environment.
Your home is likely already infested with thousands of eggs.
One adult female flea can lay up to 50 eggs a day, producing hundreds of fleas over the course of a single month.

After finding an animal or human host and taking a blood meal, adult fleas will mate and begin laying eggs in the fur and surroundings of the host. Adult females begin to feed from a host within a few hours of emerging from the cocoon and soon after will mate and begin laying eggs.
