Eli5: why can’t we exterminate fleas entirely?

530 viewsOtherPlanetary Science

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
