All fleas will flee out of your area once you take service from the Tulsa Exterminator. They are blood sucking insects. They live on consuming the blood of mammals and birds. That’s why they mostly get into the hair and fur of them. You perhaps have seen these tiny insects in the hair of your cats and dogs. Don’t take it for granted if you see it. Fleas can be the reason for many health issues. Such as murine typhus, plague, CSD (Cat Scratch Disease), anemia, and so on. Apart from mammals, fleas can attack humans too if they don’t find their prey. So call the Tulsa Exterminator after seeing these small creatures.

Fleas and their life cycle

Fleas are external parasites with no wings but cuticles and bristles in a small body. Their body length is around 0.1 cm to 0.32 cm. Now, how do you know if these insects are bothering in your area without showing their presence? Well, they will surely leave some signs, like flea eggs, scaly skin, feces, flea dirt, itchiness in pets, and so on.

Like wasps, ants, and other insects, fleas have four stages in their life cycle. These stages are egg, larva, pupae, and adult. The egg stage lasts for 2 to 14 days. Fleas’ eggs are small and white, i.e., 0.5 mm in size. You can compare it with a white grain. You will see some of their eggs having a black spot, which is the eye of a baby flea. The more days pass, the more the spot spreads. Then the flea steps into the larva stage, which lasts for 4 to 24 days. Flea larva is ¼ inch in size and is transparent. Then comes the pupae stage, which lasts for several months, and then they enter their adult stage.

Eliminating Fleas With Tulsa Exterminator

The bad news is fleas can deliver 50 eggs in a day. It means the infestation can get severe because of a few fleas in your pet or property. Don’t worry if Tulsa Exterminator is there for you. They will check out every nook and cranny of your property, including your pet, to detect the flea population. Then they will implement their product to remove fleas, their nest, eggs, and every sign left by them.

Some treatments can be effective to remove fleas all by yourself. There are some flea combs for pets in the market. Comb the hair and fur of your pet often to remove any sort of pests from there. You can also use flea spray, but make sure it’s natural. Diatomaceous earth, baking soda, and apple cider vinegar are some non-toxic solutions to get rid of fleas. Check out our reviews!
