Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Fleas cannot live on human hair or on human bodies for an extended period of time. Fleas will normally jump off of your pet onto you and bite you and then leave. Fleas do not want to remain on humans, but rather feed and leave. The video below will give you more information about fleas on your pets and some good flea prevention tips. It is crucial if you have carpet to vaccuum for fleas often and do a through job. If you want to avoid using any type of pesticide this will need to be done quite regularly.

Flea Facts

Did you know….

- Adult Fleas use heat to find warm-blooded hosts to develop and reproduce.

- Severe flea infestations can cause intense itching, skin lesions, anemia, weight loss and restlessness.

- Fleas transmit tapeworms and are known carriers of diseases like tularemia, murine, typhus and the plague.

- Eggs are laid on the host and fall off into pet bedding and other areas of your home.

- Eggs hatch within a few days, and larvae head towards dark places around your home and feed on “flea dirt” — secretions of partially digested pet blood.

- Larvae grow, molt twice, then spin cocoons where they pupate.

- Adult fleas emerge from the cocoons, hop onto a host, feed, mate and begin the life cycle all over again.
