  1. They are not fleas. they are too long and would be jumping.

    Possibly the larval stage of a moth or beetle that eat cotton and so on. you should be able to kill them with a hot wash but you need to check your other bedding, carpets, clothes etc. too see how bad the infestation is.

  2. Looks like flea larvae.

    Go and get yourself some indorex flea spray. Nothing else will do unless you want to fumigate your house.

    Flea-treat your pets, but don’t use spot on, have a look around online and get the one people recommend.

    Then, remove pets and children from the house and proceed to spray shitloads of indorex on everything as per the instructions- carpets especially. Leave the house for an hour or so with the windows shut. Return, leave pets and children in the garden, open all windows, hoover the shit out of your carpets (once now, and then again in 7 days), put all bedding through the wash on a hot wash.

    Your flea problem is now solved.

  3. Send a photo to your local pest control company and they’ll probably tell you what they are and what you need to do to get rid.

  4. Having grow up around a lot of animals these are 100% not fleas. The first one is different from the second. The first one is some sort of worm/larvae. The second maybe silverfish but it’s hard to tell.

    Can you provide more details perhaps? Do you dry them outside? Near trees?

  5. I’d say they’re silverfish, it’s just unusual to get them on your bed, they tend to prefer bathrooms

  6. don’t know what they are, but after watching this and then googling flea larvae….I’m ready to burn my house down

  7. Lay on those sheets naked and encourage the lil critters to go in your peehole

  8. Flees! Had the same issue when we got 2 kittens.

    Wash everything.
    Get some good fog smoke bombs.
    Good hoover after that.
    If you have pet, get the spot on flees and tick stuff and you should be good to go!.
