Facts About Fleas

  • Identification : Fleas are wingless and 2 to 8mm long in size and has an oval shape. Females slightly larger than males. They are reddish brown in color. Fleas have long, spiky legs and used their legs for jumping from one animal to another.
  • Life cycle : There are four different stages of the fleas’ life, such as eggs, larvae, pupae and adult. A female scatters her eggs on the bedding where the host rests. They usually survive on their primary host, but an adult flea can survive without blood for several months.
  • Habitat and behavior : Fleas prefer moist environment. Whether indoor or outdoor. A female flea lay up to 50 eggs per day and 500 eggs in her whole life. Larvae do not drink blood direct from the host, they consume organic matter such as skin flakes, hair and dried blood.

If you do not treat your premises or your pet’s bedding, you may give a chance to fleas to develop their population. If you have pets and it spends its more time indoors, the interior of the house should also be treated. Before treatment, the homeowner should:
