Why are Flea Infestations so Hard to Eliminate?

Flea problems often occur during prolonged periods of wet weather or when a host animal has been absent. Cat and dog fleas periodically jump on and off the host. Fleas can then bite the first warm-blooded animal, including humans if they aren’t able to find their host. Walking across the floor can also trigger the emergence of new adults from pupae, causing the infestation to worsen. It is essential to get the infestation under control as soon as possible and done professionally.

The Flea Cycle

Cat and dog fleas periodically jump on and off the host. Female adult fleas lay eggs, usually on the host. However, the eggs do not always attach to the host and can fall off. The eggs can then develop into larvae on the floor or in the pet’s bed. Sometimes, treatments can appear to be ineffective due to visible small black fleas. Fleas will continue to hatch as insecticides can not penetrate flea pupae cases.

What to do before and after your Flea Treatment with Your Local Termite and Pest Control

1. Treat your Pet/s – In conjunction with Your Local Termite and Pest Control flea treatment. You will get better results if the environment and animal/s are treated around the same time.

2. Before treatment vacuum and mop, remove and dispose of the vacuum bag or empty bagless vacuum straight into the bin.

3. Do not leave flea infested areas undisturbed – movement hatches flea eggs – especially in spare rooms, sheds or places where your pet/s rest. Walkthrough all areas wearing white socks, tucked into long pants, this allows you to see the fleas as they try and bite.

4. Do not remove the pet, flea problems may appear to be worse – as you become the only potential host.

5. Entering vacant houses will stimulate any fleas waiting to hatch. This is especially a problem with the vacant rental and holiday houses.

6. If you are going on holidays, have a friend stomp through the house/yard several times while you are away, especially on the day of your return – the fleas will hatch and die on the treated surfaces before you return.

7. Do not vacuum or mop at least 14 days after treatment.

8. Be Patient – Even if everything has been done correctly, you will still see newly hatched fleas, usually for several weeks.
