Fleas are pests that pose a threat to you, your pets, and your loved ones at home, and Broken Arrow Exterminator can help eradicate them. These pests lurk around trees and grasses and are mostly active in warm weather. They hop on your pests when they walk through these areas. On your dogs and cats, they hide under the furs around their ears, neck, back, and belly. When your pets get home, the fleas may jump and hide in your carpet, furniture, and cracks in the floor.
Fleas feed on the blood of animals. There are different species of fleas. The ones that bother your dogs and cats are different from the ones that bother humans. They prefer animals because of their furs which give them enough cover to hide themselves. Flea bites cause a lot of discomfort to your pets but with the help of Broken Arrow exterminator, they can be eradicated.
Flea Larva
When the flea eggs hatch into larvae, they look like tiny works about 2 to 5 mm in length. They are very tiny and very difficult to see. Flea larvae feed on dirt from fleas. This is a blood-filled droppings from adults after having a blood meal. Stopping them at this stage by Broken Arrow exterminators prevents them from hiding as pupae in floor cracks and other areas before they mature. They are parasites and love to stay near their host, so you might see them on the bodies of your cats and dogs or in their beddings. While hiding in their furs, they look like C-shaped flecks and are pale or dark depending on what they ate last.
