Fleas life cycle

The life cycle of a flea contains four different sections. The first section is the egg. This egg is laid by the female adults and is laid at the base of the fur of a host animal. As the host scratches, these eggs will fall off. What they do is they’ll wait for vibration to come near which signals them that there’s a host animal possibly nearby. Then the eggs hatch and the larva will emerge. This larva will eat everything and cool fleet dirt.

Flea dirt is the droppings the adult then falls off as the animal scratches. This will give the flea not only bits of undigested blood to consume but also the enzymes needed to fill their gut enzymes so they’re ready to consume their own blood. After this larva passes this stage, It will develop all the adult parts of its body. It will be necessary and needed. Then once it’s ready, it will wait again for the heat and vibration of a host nearby to emerge as a full-grown adult. Contact your Tulsa exterminator for help with fleas.

Eliminating Fleas by Tulsa Exterminator

In order to get rid of fleas, it’s important that you have a schedule built to take care of them. These four life cycles protect them from many different forms of pesticides. The first stage, a protective covering, is impenetrable by pesticides which means that you have to get these fleas to move their life cycles in order to get them to come in contact with pesticides. Vacuuming can mimic the vibration of a host animal nearby. So often when we treat, we recommend vacuuming to our clients.
