Flea & Tick

Eco-Friendly Flea and Tick Management

Flea Pest Control

 

Lifecycle: Fleas undergo a complete metamorphosis, consisting of four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. This cycle can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to several months, depending on environmental conditions.

 

Reproduction: Female fleas can lay up to 50 eggs per day, often directly on their host. These eggs then fall off into the environment, where they hatch into larvae.

 

Feeding Habits: Adult fleas feed on the blood of their hosts, which can include mammals like dogs, cats, and humans. Flea larvae, however, feed on organic debris found in their environment, including adult flea feces, which contain partially digested blood.

Flea Prevention in Carpets and Furniture

Habitat: Fleas prefer warm, humid environments and are commonly found in carpets, bedding, and areas frequented by pets.

 

Jumping Ability: Fleas are known for their remarkable jumping ability, which allows them to easily move between hosts and environments. They can jump up to 150 times their own body length.

 

Disease Transmission: Fleas can transmit various diseases and parasites, including the bubonic plague, typhus, and tapeworms, making them a significant concern for public health.

Tick Pest Control

 

Lifecycle: Ticks have a four-stage life cycle: egg, larva (six-legged), nymph (eight-legged), and adult (eight-legged). Most ticks need to feed on blood at each stage to progress to the next, which can take up to 3 years to complete.

 

Hosts: Ticks are parasitic and require a host to feed on for blood meals. They can attach to a variety of hosts, including mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.

 

Feeding Process: Ticks use their mouthparts to attach to the skin of their host and can feed for several days. They secrete a substance that acts as cement, keeping them securely attached while they feed.

 

Flea & Tick Control

 

Habitat: Ticks are commonly found in wooded, grassy, or brushy areas. They wait on vegetation with their legs outstretched, ready to latch onto passing hosts, a behavior known as “questing.”

 

Disease Transmission: Ticks are vectors for several diseases, including Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and tick-borne encephalitis. They transmit pathogens to their hosts while feeding.

 

Survival: Ticks can survive for extended periods without a meal, making them resilient pests. Some species can live for several years without feeding.
