Fleas are tiny dark brown parasitic insects that infest the coat and skin of pets. Even if you don't have pets, you could encounter a flea infestation in your home. Flea larvae spin a cocoon to live in and develop into a pupa. After a week or two of development, they grow into an adult. The adult flea may remain dormant in the cocoon for up to five months, until the vibration or presence of carbon dioxide from a passing animal triggers it to awaken and emerge from the cocoon to feed. Egg and larval stage fleas can be found in your carpets, furniture and bedding. A well-designed program is necessary to maintain a flea free environment, so give us a call today to get rid of them for good!
