Why DIY flea control methods are unsuccessful.

Fleas are tiny, little, wingless insects that make the lives of our pets, and us, miserable. However, they have a very intricate and multidimensional life cycle that makes them extremely hard to get rid of once you have an infestation. To effectively eradicate your flea problem, you need to consult with a pest control specialist who understands the 4 different stages in the flea’s life cycle and their vulnerability in each stage.

There is no single method, or process, that can completely eradicate or control a flea infestation. Pest control DIY methods that are effective for one stage of the flea’s life cycle can be ineffective for another.

The flea’s life cycle explained.

There are four stages in the flea’s life cycle; the egg, the larva, the pupa and the adult. Depending on the environment, the flea can complete its life cycle in a couple of weeks or when environmental conditions are unfavorable it may take a couple of months or years. When you have a flea infestation, it is common to find that only 5% of the flea population are adult fleas that live on the hosts and cause discomfort and scratching.

The majority of the flea population in your home will be in the egg, larva and pupa stage. It is therefore more important to treat the environment than the host. Don’t be mistaken, both have to be treated for the outcome to be effective, but more emphasis should be placed on the environment.
