Fleas

Fleas reproduce and spread rapidly. For every flea on your pet there may be hundreds waiting to emerge. Flea eggs laid on the pet can also embed into your carpet or wooden flooring. When eggs hatch small, blind larvae emerge. These larvae move away from light finding a home in cracks in the floor or your carpet.

These larvae move away from the light, burrowing down into the carpet, cracks in the floor or soil.

Fleas can be responsible for the outbreak of allergenic reactions skin reactions, blood borne diseases and the spread of tape worm when transferring from one host to the other. Read more on the Extreme human annoyance caused by Ctenocephalides felis felis (cat flea)

Fleas

Tony's Termite and Pest Control on the Gold Coast provide pest control and inspection for disease causing fleas in houses and community areas. We provide treatments for all pests using the safest methods.

There are over 2000 species of the flea known in the world. The most common of these is the cat flea, although its name indicates its general preference, this flea is highly adaptable and will just as easily live on dogs.

Fleas will bite humans when they are in need of the rich protein source given by our blood, usually necessary for egg production.

Fleas have a life span of approximately 21 days, however in this time they are capable of laying over 700 eggs. The larvae of the flea will cocoon after two weeks of hatching, however flea pupates can remain in a state of hibernation for up to a year until the presence of a potential host is felt.

Fleas can be responsible for the outbreak of allergenic reactions skin reactions, blood borne diseases and the spread of tape worm when transferring from one host to the other.

We can help with the elimination of these pests through safe & proven eradication methods.

In most species, neither female nor male fleas are fully mature when they first emerge but must feed on blood before they become capable of reproduction.

The vibrations caused by scratching by a host often trigger the emergence of the adult flea from the pupal case, enabling it to immediately find a host and begin feeding
