A bit of information on fleas, their behavior and common species that our Flea Control team have to deal with regularly.
- The Cat Flea (Ctenocephalides felis) and the Dog Flea (Ctenocephalides canis) are the two most common fleas. Just because of their names doesn’t mean they host exclusively on their respective animals. Fleas and ecto-parasites, this means they prefer to live on the outside of their host.
- Fleas are rather hardy insects, they are hard to squash and have built up an immunity to many over the counter flea remedies. This is usually the result of under exposure. Amateur use insecticides are bought and used incorrectly. This exposes the fleas to chemicals but at an exposure not high enough to kill them.
- Flea eggs are very well protected, they have the ability to withstand heat and most chemicals. As a result professional companies apply a growth inhibitor that stops reproduction. Professional Flea Control treatments are almost always necessary for guaranteed results.
- These Insects frequent warm patches. Carpets that are exposed to sunlight or animal bedding left to air in the sun may not be a great idea for trying to chase fleas away. Fleas also love windowsills to grab that direct sunlight.
