In Quebec, the largest flea infestation<\/strong> comes from the cat’s flea. It infests humans and about fifty animal species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fleas invade<\/strong>us, causing itching, disease, and even the death of our animal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I get rid of fleas?<\/strong> By contacting a professional exterminator!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I recognize one? What means does he use? What can be taken to avoid<\/strong> the problem? Are these fleas fleas from flea bites? These are all questions to which here are professional answers.

What do they look like?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you really suffer from a flea infestation?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fleas are 2<\/a> to 9 mm insects without wings. They have a laterally flattened body; which makes it easier to move between the animal-victim’s hairs. Their color? Reddish brown or dark brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fleas have long, powerful hind legs. Thanks to them, the fleas leap 20 cm in height and 40cm in length to invade<\/strong> their victim’s fur and consume his blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Know the life cycle of fleas to get rid of their presence more efficiently<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This cycle has four steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step1:<\/sup> Egg laying.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fleas jump on<\/strong> the animal-victim and mate on it. The female must consume blood before mating. She then lays 20 eggs a day, 500 eggs in her victim’s fur during her lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These eggs will in turn become fleas, with females laying new eggs. And so on. This is how you experience them: they move into your own home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step2:<\/sup> Turning eggs into larvae<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Theinvader’s<\/strong> eggs fall to the ground where the pet is left: your bed, floor, cushions, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their appearance is smooth and translucent, their white color, their ovoid shape and their length of 0.3 to 0.5 mm.
The larva that comes out has an elongated, cylindrical shape. Its head has crushing mouth parts. She has no legs, just two small hooks at the end of her abdomen that allow her to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains in cracks, cracks and along baseboards. She lives in dust and rubbish, fleeing the light. It feeds on organic waste: adult flea droppings, hair, dead skin, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step3:<\/sup> Turning larvae into nymphs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The larva is placed in a “U” and then makes a silk cocoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This cocoon is quickly covered with debris and dust, providing additional protection for the flea larva that turns into a nymph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step4:<\/sup> Turning nymphs into fleas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The nymph stays in the cocoon, waiting for a stimulus to quickly complete its maturation in flea and get out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This stimulus can be a vibration of the steps of humans or animals, of the carbon dioxide (CO2) released by breathing or the heat released by its potential victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lifespan of the adult chip varies by species. In the cat’s flea, it is 7 to 14 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before dying, the chip will have had time to reproduce and thus allow the cycle to continue, gradually and in greater numbers invading<\/strong> your home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why are flea invasions so harmful to us? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the cocoon, the adult chip must immediately find a host to host itself. It’s the condition of his survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chip also looks for a sexual partner. Mating takes place 8 hours after the first blood meal. The first egg-laying takes place within 36 hours… reproduction and a really fast life cycle! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A flea eats 3 to 4 meals a day, consuming up to 14 microlitres of blood daily. She will go after humans if she can’t find any animals to establish herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A flea invasion<\/strong> is so harmful to us because:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
