Ik zit bij ons thuis. In Gent.

Met al dat stikkend heet weer, en doordat het we hier al anderhalve maand niet meer wonen, en dat het hier dus al minstens even lang niet meer gestofzuigd is, zit het hier stikvol vlooien. Eiks. Bah.

Fijn om weten:

In cat fleas, the adult does not normally emerge from the pupa as soon as it is fully developed but waits until it senses the presence of a host. The main stimulus for emergence is the vibration caused by the host’s footsteps. This quiescent stage can be as long as 200 days and explains why people entering deserted houses can suddenly find themselves covered in fleas. In the time that the house has been deserted, the larvae have all pupated, only to emerge when they sense the entry of the unsuspecting person.
