Flea dirt is the fecal matter of a flea. Because fleas eat blood, their flea dirt is orangish-red in color. Flea dirt can be anywhere where fleas have or do live, such as on animals or in carpet. If flea dirt becomes wet, it can leave behind a small spot or stain. After ridding your home and animals of fleas, vacuum carpets, sweep hardwood or tile floors and wash pets to remove flea dirt. If a stain has already formed, however, you will need to spot clean.
