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.

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.

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.

5. If you do have a pet in your home, an
adult flea will spend most of its time
there, so whole home treatment is an
absolute must.
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.

6. Contacting a pest control company immediately
is a must. They can help you treat your home
and your property using the methods necessary
to eliminate the flea problem.

7. The best way to prevent a flea problem is to treat
your pets on a regular basis. Contact your vet for the
best possible remedy. You may also want to contact
an exterminator to evaluate any potential problems
in your home and your yard too.

8. There are many different flea treatments
available today, but trying to save a few
bucks with a do-it-yourself treatment is
not the way to go.
These kinds of treatments are often
temporary, and they will not fully
eliminate the flea infestation issue you’re
dealing with.
