Fleas are carriers of many diseases and to safeguard yourself from them, you can seek help from Tulsa pest control. Historically, they have been known to transmit various diseases like bubonic plague, murine typhus and bartonellosis. They can also transmit tapeworms to both humans and pets. Flea bites can trigger allergic reactions in some individuals. The allergic reactions can lead to intense itching and eventually, secondary infections. Some pets may experience loss of blood because of the infestation, which can eventually cause anemia. 

All about Flea eggs

Flea eggs are typically small about 0.5 mm in length that makes it very difficult to detect their presence. They are oval shaped and smooth. The color of the eggs is whitish or translucent which makes them blend easily with the environment. Unlike bed bugs, they do not stick to the surface because their eggshells are not static. They fall off the host and spread throughout your home. 

Fleas lay their eggs in areas where pets spend most of their time, such as bedding and other places. The eggs can also be found in cracks and crevices which make it difficult to detect and destroy them. Flea eggs can hatch within 2 to 14 days although it largely depends on the environment they live in. the temperature and humidity play a role in their development.

After hatching, flea eggs become larvae, which are tiny and avoid light. If you find any fleas in your home it means you have an active infestation. Fleas are prolific breeders, and they can extend their population in a very short time as one female flea can lay 50 eggs per day. They are also very resilient as some insecticides do not work against flea eggs. To save you from all this hassle, Tulsa pest control can come in and take effective measures to remove them from your home.
