  1. Fleas Fighting a Serious Infestation

  2. Fleas may seem like a bigger problem for the family pet than they do for you, but the reality is that if you have fleas in your home or around your property, you have big problems. Not only could you be exposed to constant flea bites, but they can also be the cause of illness. They can transmit tapeworms as well as murinelike typhus. You’ll know a flea bite when you see it thanks to the tiny red halo circling the small white spot. Should I Worry About Fleas?

  3. There are 2,000 different species of fleas, and even if you don’t have pets in your home, they could still be a problem for you. The most common type of flea in homes is the cat flea. At just 1/8” long, they can be hard to see. They are usually a reddish-brown color and they are wingless. Their bodies compress laterally, so they look like a walking coin. Fleas 101

  4. Adult cat fleas attach themselves to a host, then remain there for about 30 days. Fresh blood is necessary for egg production. The female flea can lay up to fifty eggs in a single day. Once hatched, they have a large head, but are without eyes & legs until they grow into adults. To do so, they must be in 75% relative humidity. Eight days after hatching, they build a cocoon & grow into adults. They can remain inside the cocoon for up to 12 months should the temperature or humidity drop.

Once the adult flea has laid eggs on your pet, they’re quick to fall off anywhere in your home. Since cocoons are resistant to insecticides, a professional pest control company help is necessary to help eliminate the problem. A Few Things to Remember
