More about Fleas
Fleas - DESCRIPTION:
Fleas - DESCRIPTION:
Adult fleas are about 1/8 inch long, wingless, and have three pairs of legs. The hind pair
of legs is modified for jumping. Fleas are vertically flat like a fish, and can move
easily through the hair of a host. The immature stage or larval stage of the flea looks
like a small white worm with a dark head. Flea eggs are small and white.Fleas - HABITAT:
The cooler and drier fall weather brings a reduction in the number of household fleas.
However, house pets usually maintain small flea populations throughout the winter, with
the numbers increasing slowly in the spring and exploding in mid-to-late summer.
Fleas - LIFE CYCLE: (More about the life cycle here)
Female fleas lay eggs loosely in the host's hair (usually a cat or dog). Each female cat
flea can lay up to 400 eggs in her lifetime. The eggs drop off and hatch in 2-14 days into
tiny, hairy, worm-like larvae. The larvae are usually found where the animal sleeps, along
baseboards, in carpets, or on furniture. Larvae pupate and new adults emerge. The new
adults seek a host immediately and must get a blood meal to survive and produce eggs.
Fleas -
TYPE OF DAMAGE:
All species and both sexes feed on warm blooded animals. They will bite humans-especially
when they cannot find their usual animal host, or if they become very numerous. Their bite
often will leave a small, red, irritated area on humans. |
Fleas - CONTROL:
The key to successful household flea control is frequent vacuuming of pet bedding and
resting areas, treatment of the pet, and careful use of insecticides. An
integrated pest management program provides maximum Flea control. Be sure to treat the
house, yard and pets. |

Fleas - INTERESTING FACTS:
Fleas are not capable of
transmitting infectious diseases; however, allergic reactions to flea bites cause the most
complaints. Fleas are amazing jumpers. In fact, fleas can jump up to 150 times the length
of their bodies- sideways or up- equivalent to a person jumping nearly 1,000 feet
