How to Get Rid of Fleas in Greenville, Alabama

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

• Flea larva mainly feed on the feces of adult fleas, which are mainly composed of dried blood
• Flea eggs hatch between two days and two weeks after being laid
• Fleas also act as a vector for protozoans and helminthes
• Most flea bites on humans can be found around the ankles and legs
• Female fleas must drink blood before they are able to reproduce by laying eggs

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.
