Fleas are tough to take on by yourself, and they can invade your outdoor spaces quickly when left unaddressed. And when fleas take over your outdoor spaces, it’s only a matter of time before they end up inside. By choosing our team, you’ll work with pest control experts who know what makes fleas tick. Below, we’ll walk you through the flea lifecycle and how our treatments keep these pests at bay. With our comprehensive flea control, we fight fleas at every stage of their lives in outdoor spaces located all over the Longs, SC, area.
There are four stages in a flea’s lifecycle. Let’s take a look at these stages and some preventative measures you can take against these pests:
1. Flea Eggs
Flea eggs account for roughly half of the fleas in an average household population. Adult fleas lay eggs shortly after they’ve fed, and they can lay them in bunches of up to 20. Because of how many eggs these pests can lay, it’s important to check your pets’ fur for them on a regular basis.
2. Flea Larvae
Flea larvae emerge from their eggs blind and legless, spending their days feeding on blood that’s already been digested by adult fleas. After developing for a little longer, fleas spend between 5-20 days creating cocoons. To eliminate fleas in this stage, along with adult fleas and flea eggs, it’s essential to get your pets on anti-flea programs. Around 35 percent of the fleas in an average household are in their larval stage.
3. Flea Pupae
Flea cocoons are often located deep within carpeting, which is why vacuuming sometimes isn’t enough to get rid of them. To effectively eliminate flea pupae, it’s best to use a steam cleaner.
4. Adult Fleas
Fleas emerge from their cocoons once they sense a meal walking by. They can do this by sensing elevated carbon dioxide levels, body heat signatures, and vibrations that indicate steps.
