Fleas

Flea Identification

Fleas are tiny, irritating insects, their bites are itchy and sometimes painful, and getting rid of them is hard. They reproduce quickly, especially if you have pets in the household. Professional pest control treatment may be required. Even if you don’t have pets, your yard can potentially play host to fleas, and you may end up with a bunch of mysterious bites. They don’t grow much larger than the tip of a pen, and they range from light brown to almost black in color. They get around by jumping from place to place, as they don’t have wings.

Flea Eradication

They’re also almost impossible to get rid of without a pesticide treatment. Their thin, flat bodies and hard shells mean you often need to squeeze them between finger nails or two hard surfaces to kill them. Even then, where there is one, many often follow. Even if you do not have pets, it is more than likely that a rat, a ferret or some kind of mammal host had also resided in your home at some point in time. Most flea problems aren’t usually concentrated at just one particular location of your house. If you have pets at home, it is more than likely that they’ve “spread” these fleas everywhere they’ve gone to. A dog or a cat is basically a 24/7 operating shuttle for these fleas to hop on and off wherever they want to. Wherever your dog or cat has been to, it is more than likely you have fleas there as well. The best all-round combination for eradicating fleas is: Pest control services + vacuum + flea spray + flea tablets. As cats are the most common cause of fleas, it is generally accepted that cats should be treated for fleas every 3 - 4 weeks.

Flea bites

Flea bites are pretty distinctive. They remain small, unlike mosquito bites. If a flea bites you, you may experience one or more of the following visible signs: bites that appear as small, red bumps a red “halo” around the bite center bites in groups of three or four, or in a straight line bites that appear around the ankles or legs (their most likely location) Flea bites are also common around the waist, armpits, breasts, groin, or in the folds of the elbows and knees.

Our treatment is to kill any active fleas with immediate action insecticide on rugs and carpets, together with a residual insecticide for soft furnishings and sofas etc, and lastly an application of insecticide dust around the skirtings to kill any newly hatching flea eggs.

Flea Eggs

The flea life cycle goes from egg to larva to pupa before the final adult stage.
The process can take anywhere from two to three weeks to several months, depending on the conditions. Adult cat and dog fleas can live up to one year in ideal situations, but only about one to two weeks if no host is present. Eggs take anywhere from two days to two weeks to develop, hatching when environmental conditions are just right for them. If temperatures are cold and dry, the eggs will take longer; if temperatures are warm and humidity levels are high, the eggs will hatch at a faster rate. Larvae then emerges as the next life stage.

Home Remedies and Post Visit Tips

Extract from Country Living.com.....
Are you looking for simple and effective ways to get rid of fleas in the house? Most flea infestations stem from pets, but irritating pests can bite both you and your animals. If your furry friend has fleas, it's likely your home, garden and furniture will be targeted next. As well as ensuring you comb your dogs and cats with a flea comb regularly, there are plenty of natural ways to help avoid a nasty infestation. Adult fleas live on the fur of animals where they will lay their eggs. The average life cycle of a flea is around 100 days, however, they can live indoors for up to a year if the conditions are favourable to them.

A surefire way to remove any fleas harbouring in the fibres of your carpet is to sprinkle some baking soda down, give it a scrub and then vacuum it up. Likewise, regularly vacuuming your carpet will also help to keep the pests at bay. Pay close attention to the areas where pets sleep, too. Fleas can transmit diseases to humans, so it's vital you've given everywhere a thorough clean.

Much like baking soda, salt works in a similar way. According to Rentokil, if you sprinkle some salt on your carpet, leave for two days and then vacuum up, it will help to get rid of fleas quickly.

How does it work? The salt acts as a dehydration agent, which will quickly and naturally get rid of fleas without the use of chemicals.

Fleas repel rosemary's strong pungent smell, so this technique also works wonders if your dog has fleas. In order for it to work, all you need to do is boil some rosemary in a pan with water and leave it to cool down overnight. Then, drain the liquid into a spray bottle (make sure you separate the sprigs so none fall in). The next time you wash your dog, spray some of the natural solution onto its fur and it will keep the fleas away.
