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.
