Fleas infestations can spread quickly, but Tulsa pest control can stop them right on track. Fleas are one of the most common pets that spread quickly. They love to attack pets and they can also spread from animals to humans. Flea bites can cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Historically, fleas have been known to become vectors for some serious diseases, like bubonic plague and typhus. They can transmit diseases to humans and animals. A single female flea can lay hundreds of eggs each day, making it difficult to control the infestation. If you see any signs of fleas, you should try to reach out to Tulsa Pest Control because they can effectively remove fleas.
Flea eggs
Flea eggs are tiny. Each egg is about 0.5 millimetres in size. The color of the eggs are white, which make them very difficult to detect. Fleas lay eggs on their heads, and eventually it fall to surrounding spots once the host moves. It takes a few days for the egg to hatch into larvae. The larvae feed on adult flea faeces and develop in cocoons to become pupae. Environmental conditions like weather can play a significant role in their development. This lifecycle can last from a few days to several weeks.
Warm and humid conditions are ideal for flea eggs. They choose a home with central heating because it provides ideal conditions to hatch. Flea eggs can survive for an extended period of time in difficult conditions, making them hard to eradicate.
Female fleas have a high reproduction rate which makes them very difficult to control. A small number of fleas can produce a large number of eggs, leading to rapid infestation. That’s why professional removal services like Tulsa pest control can come handy in this type of situation.
