      Will a flea problem ever just go away by itself if left untreated?
      No, in fact, if left untreated your problem will turn into an infestation. The female flea can lay about 50 eggs per day and up to 2000 eggs in a lifetime. The eggs are laid in the pet's coat and drop off the pet almost anywhere it may roam, especially where your pet sleeps, such as rugs, carpets, upholstered furniture, cat boxes, kennels, etc. In just 30 days, 25 adult females can multiply into 250,000 fleas.
