Fleas comes from pet dog and cat infesting at home
​No homeowners would want to have a flea infestation in their home. In fact, if a homeowner is aware of how fast the cycle and reproduction of fleas is, they will be more cautious and careful not to let even one flea get inside the property. Why? That is because the flea population grows quickly. It will not take a lot of time for a flea infestation to happen and it needs knowledge and understanding of their life cycle to effectively eliminate and prevent them.


​
What are some of the things you can do to prevent flea invasion and flea infestation?

 

Vacuum regularly

Cleaning or sanitation always plays a vital role in preventing and eliminating a lot of pests including fleas. Vacuum your place thoroughly on a regular basis especially the areas where your pets sleep and spend most of their time. Why vacuuming is important? If you have fleas inside your home vacuuming will not only help remove a lot of eggs, larvae, and pupae but it will also pick up the flea dirt and all the debris that the flea pupae can use as protection or casing. Just like how it is important to remove all the debris so that the flea pupae will find nothing to use as a cocoon getting rid of flea feces is especially important because the larvae feed on them. Remember, if you want pests to be eliminated in your home it is essential to not provide them food they use for survival. By removing the flea feces the larvae will not have the primary food they need to survive and develop.


Clean and maintain the surrounding

To prevent fleas from invading and infesting your home it is also necessary to clean the surroundings. Have your grass, shrubs, and trees trimmed so that it will be uninviting for the fleas to use as hiding places. Maintain your lawns and make sure your garden or backyard are areas that will not encourage animals that might have fleas to visit or hide. Keep in mind that the fleas from other animals can easily invade your home if their host is playing, nesting, or hiding inside your property. So, always maintain outdoor sanitation. 


Check your pets after they spend time outdoors

If your pets have spent some time outdoors especially in the woods or grassy areas make it a habit to always inspect them for fleas or even ticks after their time outdoors. Fleas are just waiting for a host and it will not waste any opportunity to jump to your pets when they have a chance. So after spending time outdoors check your pets to see if they have picked up fleas outdoor.


Conclusion

If you are experiencing a flea infestation in your house right now it is important to know that about 80% of the population of the fleas in your house is composed of the eggs and larvae. This is important to understand so the treatment or method of prevention will be performed effectively and the problem will be addressed properly. For flea problems, it is always best to ask help from professionals for they know how to treat flea problems effectively.
