How to Get Rid of Fleas in Englewood, Colorado

Homes with indoor and outdoor pets should be vigilant about flea control. Fleas facilitate the spread of diseases between human and animal.

• Female fleas must drink blood before they are able to reproduce by laying eggs
• Flea eggs hatch between two days and two weeks after being laid
• Fleas also act as a vector for protozoans and helminthes
• Flea bodies are about 1/16th to 1/8th of an inch long
• Flea larva mainly feed on the feces of adult fleas, which are mainly composed of dried blood

Once a flea has a blood meal, they are able to lay eggs; therefore, practice early flea control to keep a few fleas from becoming a flea infestation. Fleas are hardy pests and can live several months to a year without eating. A professional exterminator has the know-how to aid in your flea control endeavors.
