The documents below have information and SOPs for flea counting and collection volunteers.
Want to submit fleas?
If you have fleas you’ve collected from a dog or cat that you want to submit, please fill out the Flea Submission Form to receive shipping information and a pre-paid shipping label if needed.
If you’re a veterinarian, shelter, rescue, or TNR organization and you want to partner to collect fleas over the course of the season, please sign up here and we will contact you and send you a flea collection kit.
