Flea Control For Less than a $1.00 a day!

Remember the days of flea control when you bought 1 product, then bought another product at your local hardware store.  The cash just seemed to keep flowing out of your wallet,  also back in the days when we carried cash not plastic.  But in the end we spend a fortune and still have to pay to have the animals sent to get dipped in something that cost $40.00 and 100 cans of flea bomb that leave a yucky residue all over the furniture.

How to kill Fleas!

This is a short helpful article on proper flea control techniques for homeowners, includes use of flea aerosols, insect growth regulators, liquid concentrate insecticides.

  • There are over 1600 species of fleas, but fortunately for humans we on encounter a few.
  • Fleas infest birds, mammals and are particularly abundant on rodents.
  • Most common species affecting humans is the cat flea.

Describing the Flea

  • The bodies of fleas are well adapted to their particular life.  Fleas are small, wingless insects that are flattened from side to side.  Adults are brownish-black in color and their legs are long and modified for jumping.  They can jump 7 to 8 inches vertically and 14 to 15 inches horizontally.
  • A female flea can lay 4 to 8 eggs after each blood meal and can lay several hundred eggs during her life.  Most eggs are laid on their host, but because they are no glued in place they can be easily dropped to the ground or in bedding, creating an infestation.
  • Eggs hatch into larvae in 2 days to 3 weeks, depending on the temperature, humidity.  The larvae then feed on organic material and feces from adult fleas for about 8 days.  Flea larvae are very active and can be found in floor cracks, rugs, upholstery, bedding, furniture, and kennels.
  • Pupal period may last 5 days to 1 year, new adults remain inside the cocoons until the proper stimulus initiates their emergence, vibrations and pressure.

Successful Flea Control Methods

  • Treatment of infested animal, indoors and outdoors is required in most cases to be completely effective for flea control, doing the job right the first time will prevent further flea outbreaks.
  • Pets bedding should be washed and treated with products label specifically, such as Precor 2000 and Ultracide.  Pets should be treated with Petcor, concentrate on behind ears, between legs and around tails.
  • Outdoor treatmentof areas like garages, porches, and yard should be treated thoroughly to prevent re-infestation.  Do not allow pets into areas during or after treatment has completely dried.   Products such as Dragnet, Tengard, and Talstar granules are great products for use on yard and exterior treatment.
  • Indoor  treatment for fleas requires a good vacuuming to pick up any flea eggs and larvae.  Pay special attention to cracks and crevices, baseboards, rugs and under furniture.  Afterwards the bags should be disposed of by placing it in an air tight container and discarded.
