Fleas

A flea infestation can quickly become a serious problem, especially in houses with multiple occupants, including pets. Fleas rely on living hosts that provide blood for them to feed on in order to survive. Because of their preferred diet and feeding method, a flea infestation can pose major health concerns to everyone at home since they have been known to carry such diseases as typhus, bartonellosis which causes a painful itch on the skin, tungiasis which can cause skin infections and even tapeworms in the case of young children. The strong potential for serious issues to occur due to a flea infestation makes this among the most dangerous pests that can be found in the home, and calls for immediate action to be taken whenever the signs of an infestation are found.

BASIC INFO

Adult fleas are extremely small, and usually grow no bigger than a couple of millimetres, which makes them very difficult to spot even when they are right in front of you. They usually gain entry to homes in pet fur after your pet comes into contact with another animal carrying fleas. Although they are definitely known to feed on human blood as well as animal blood, fleas are far more likely to feed on furry animals rather than a human host. Though they do not have wings, they can jump significant distances when they are seeking another source of food, which is why they can quickly spread once they have gained entry into a house or apartment. They also do not need a host on which to lay their eggs, but rather drop them on carpets, bedding and cracks in the floor. These eggs can be laid easily and abundantly, which is why simply eradicating the adult fleas in your home won’t allow you to be completely rid of the fleas for good. It is also the reason why getting a team of expert exterminators like the ones at Conquest Pest Control to thoroughly inspect your home and remove the remaining eggs and immature fleas is essential to getting rid of the flea problem in your home once and for all.

 

SIGNS TO LOOK OUT FOR

Keeping your home free of fleas isn’t always easy, since the fleas are so small and can spread so quickly. In some cases, people who have had rodent problems can later end up with a flea problem due to the fact that the rodents that were killed in and around the house had fleas on them that jumped to new hosts. If you notice that your pet has started scratching themselves more frequently you may want to have them checked for fleas. You can do a quick check yourself by brushing your pet’s fur over a sheet of white paper, and then lightly spraying the paper with water. If you notice any redness on the paper, this means your pet likely has fleas, and you should consult your veterinarian immediately. You may also find small bites on your own skin that can get quite irritating. If so, you should talk to your doctor to find out if these are in fact flea bites, or something unrelated.

A flea infestation should always be taken seriously, and in most cases will require professional attention to have the problem solved correctly. With Conquest Pest Control, you can always count on prompt and friendly service as well as effective results.
