Flea infestations can grow in no time but Broken Arrow pest control can remove them from your home. Fleas are prolific breeders as one single female can lay up to 50 eggs per day. This number is very alarming, as only one flea can come into your home and start a whole new infestation. Flea eggs are hard to detect as they are small and hide in areas like carpets, pet bedding and cracks in the floor. They can remain dormant for weeks waiting for the right time to hatch. This behavior means that they can come back even after all the adult fleas are terminated. To safeguard yourself and your pets, you can seek help from Broken Arrow pest control.
Facts for flea eggs
Fleas are tiny, about the size of a grain of salt and 0.5 mm in length. They are oval-shaped. All this makes them very difficult to detect and eliminate. Flea eggs are white in color and are very smooth, which allows them to blend in with the environment very easily. Unlike other insects’s eggs flea eggs are not sticky and they do not adhere to any surfaces.
Fleas lay their eggs in places where the pets spend a lot of time. That includes bedding, crates, and their favorite resting places. The eggs often fall off the host and the eggs gather on carpets or rugs. The eggs can also settle in cracks in the floor and other small places.
It takes about 2 to 14 days for the flea eggs to hatch although it depends largely on environmental conditions like temperature and humidity. After hatching, they turn into larvae which are tiny in size and hide in small places. The presence of flea eggs means there is an active infestation of fleas that is actively reproducing and expanding.
