Fleas are the tiny things that live on pets and animals, in carpets, in sofas as well as other household items. Typically, most fleas will be found on pets. The other 10 percent are flea cocoons in the carpets, 35 percent flea larvae and 50 percent flea eggs (again in the carpet).
A flea’s life span is very similar to that of a butterfly. The female lays eggs that then turn into larvae. The larva develops into pupae and settles inside a cocoon. They wait for a host (normally a cat or dog) to start their life and suck blood.
Fleas feed on blood. They can live without a blood meal for up to 100 days. These little creatures can cause serious diseases, such as Plague, Murine Typhus and Tungiasis.
There are many flea preventing medicines and procedures that you can invest in to better protect your pet. These flea preventers include:
• Frontline Dog Flea Medicine
• Program Flavor Tabs Dog and Cat Flea Control
• Merial Frontline Pus for Dogs
• K9 Advantix Flea Control
• Biospot Flea and Tick Repellent
• Adams Flea Tick Spot Control for Cats
• Farnam Carpet Flea Spray
• Biospot Flea Control for Cats and Ferrets
If your pet comes into contact with fleas, it is best to take him or her straight to the Vet. Be sure to conduct thorough research on how to prevent flea problems.
