In terms of removing fleas or any other pests, Tulsa Exterminator is always a step ahead. Fleas are one of the most annoying pests that we get to see in the hair and fur of our pests. Why there? Because fleas live on sucking the blood of mammals, that’s why we call them blood-sucking insects. Their actions can pose many health threats to your furry friend, like murine typhus, plague, CSD (Car Scratch Disease), rashes, and even anaemia.
Fleas are small, with a size of 0.1 cm to 0.32 cm. Although they are insects, they don’t have wings, but cuticles and bristles. Don’t think they only bite mammals, so you are safe. Since fleas rely on blood, they can bite you too for their own survival, if they don’t get your pet. Most importantly, these pests will create an inconvenient environment in your area.
Flea Larva
Before you call the Tulsa Exterminator for flea removal, know about these pests even more. For example, flea larvae can be in your pet’s fur or area, but you can’t recognize it. Now, what’s a flea larva? Generally, fleas have four stages in their life cycle, e.g., egg stage, larva stage, pupae stage, and adult stage. The egg stage takes around two weeks to develop. If the season is cold, it will take more time, but if the season is hot, it will take less time. Once the egg hatching is done, the larval stage arrives.
The flea larva is small, with a size of ¼ inch. It has a transparent colour with a tint of white and yellow. The larval stage lasts for around 20 days, and then it steps to the pupae stage.
Of the whole flea population, 35% of them are flea larvae. No wonder, flea larvae are also hovering in your pet’s fur.

Whether it’s about eliminating fleas or flea larvae, Tulsa Exterminator has great plans. They will inspect your pet thoroughly to ensure there are no fleas. Then they will check all the carpet and bushy areas of your house, as these insects might stay there thinking of the hair of mammals.
