Fleas are blood-sucking pests that attack us and our pests but your Broken Arrow pest control can assist you in eradicating them. Adult fleas do not have wings and have a pair of strong hind legs for jumping. They are brownish-black in color and have a compressed vertical streamlined body. This gives them a slim shape and helps them maneuver through the furs and feathers of your pet. Fleas feed on the blood of birds and mammals. The adult fleas remain inactive in their cocoon until they sense vibration from a nearby animal. It then emerges and jumps on the animal with its powerful hind legs. Fleas can make life very uncomfortable for you and your pets because of irritation. They also spread disease. Contact your Broken Arrow pest control if you notice signs of fleas in your home.
Fleas Pupa
The pupa is the stage between the larva and adulthood. Fleas undergo complete metamorphosis, the pupa must be nonmobile inside its cocoon until after it matures. At the end of the third larval stage, the larva weaves a silky cocoon around itself, folds into two, in a v shape, and starts to transform. The cocoon serves as a protection for the larva. Because the body of this cocoon is sticky, it picks up debris and helps the pupa camouflage and protect itself from predators such as ants, spiders, etc. They can be found in the same places as larvae, eggs, or flea feces. It can be found also where infested pets sleep. They prefer dark places and try to hide in carpets, the fabric of furniture, or between floorboards. Contact Broken Arrow pest control if you have fleas at home.
Flea and Flea Pupae Control by Broken Arrow Pest Control
Flea pupae are eliminated as part of the Broken Arrow pest control and management method. It uses the same methods as treating the other early forms of the flea such as larvae and eggs. Infested spots in your home can be treated mechanically by washing and vacuuming or chemically with commercially available sprays. However, you should be aware that you will not be able to completely eliminate flea pupae since they are concealed deep in your carpets, in the cushions of your sofas or armchairs, or in the dark and sheltered corners of your yard. Even if you can’t get rid of all the flea pupae in your house or garden right away, you must be aware that they exist. Because it is the flea’s life stage that allows the flea infestation to continue over time. Check out our reviews!
