Fleas are prolific insects capable of laying up to 50 eggs daily. Understanding the flea’s life cycle is essential when seeking to eliminate them from your home and surroundings.
The flea life cycle consists of four stages. It begins with eggs, which can hatch within two days to two weeks, depending on environmental conditions. The larvae stage follows, lasting several weeks as they feed on organic matter and pre-digested blood, commonly referred to as ‘flea dirt.’
After several weeks they enter the pupal stage, spinning cocoons to protect themselves before emerging as adults. The duration of this stage varies, ranging from days to months, based on environmental factors.
Once an adult flea emerges from its cocoon, it immediately seeks a host for its first blood meal. After feeding, it’s ready to restart the entire life cycle, laying eggs within a matter of days.
Similar to managing bed bugs and other pests that feed on blood, effective flea pest control includes preventative measures before and after our professionals visit your premises.
Simple actions like regular vacuuming before and after treatment and washing bedding, clothes, and toys that may harbour flea eggs can significantly expedite elimination, preventing the uncomfortable bites and rashes associated with fleas.
