To kill fleas multiple treatments are required. The eggs hatch out. Roaches do carry diseases. Easy way to check for fleas is to look in your socks. I've been through this multiple times. Deep woods OFF mosquito repellant works pretty good but not 100%

How is something that lives in sewer manholes, sterile?

They're called sand fleas around here. A little different than the ones on pets, or so I've been told.

Interesting, I have never heard of them. I always think about the bugs when in crawlspaces. I hate going in them.

Use to get my butt kicked when I was at Parris Island for killing sand fleas.

In the North East (NY, NJ, CT etc.) you have to be careful with deer ticks, they may carry Lyme disease.

I can handle fleas and most spiders. But I live in California and the worst spider we have are black widows. If I had to deal with Brown Recluses I wouldn't go anywhere near a crawlspace I saw a guys whole back heel gone because a brown recluse bit him. That a no no
