Apparently there are:
Fleas are preyed upon by ants and beetles that feed on larvae in the host's nest (link #1 below)
A small worm or nematode that is a natural predator for the flea eggs and larvae is freeze dried and then reconstituted and sprayed on the yard to combat the flea population. The brand I have used is called Interrupt and is available from many veterinarians (lnk #2 below)
Nematodes can also that prey on adult fleas "An excellent natural way to control outdoor fleas is by using beneficial nematodes. A flea parasite, nematodes prey on both adult fleas and larvae. Nematodes can be purchased at many pet or garden stores under names like Interrupt, Lawn Patrol, or Guardian. "(link #3)

Monkeys eat the fleas off of each other. Chickens will eat fleas if they are on the ground (not usually) and if the chicken is fast enough.

Hi. I would say there must be or we would have tons of flea bodies lying around.
