Flea eggs
Flea eggs are tiny in size about 0.5 mm in length making them very difficult to detect. The eggs are white and they are oval shaped. Flea eggs typically take 1 to 10 days to hatch. It is largely dependent on the environmental condition and whether it hatches sooner or later. They later go through one more stage namely the pupa stage to become an adult. Flea lay their eggs on their host and when the host moves the eggs fall off. These eggs can survive in various environments. However, they prefer warm and humid conditions to hatch quickly. Flea eggs are resistant to some cleaning methods making them tough to eliminate.
