Eli5: why can’t we exterminate fleas entirely?

Why have we not worked to eliminate the existence of fleas? Considering they are a potent carrier of disease, and an extremely common parasite, why haven’t humans decided to pursue their total extinction? Especially with our loyalty to our domesticated pets?
Thankyou

if you decide to remove something from the food chain so many animals will suffer, even if its something as small as a flea, or as big as a whale
