Common Problems Indicating You Need Flea Treatment
Fleas are persistent pests, and recognizing the signs of an infestation early can save you a lot of discomfort and potential health risks. Here are some common problems that indicate you need flea treatment in your Jackson home:
Excessive Pet Scratching
One of the most obvious signs of a flea infestation is your pet scratching, licking, or biting their skin excessively. This is due to the flea bites causing irritation and itchiness. Ignoring this issue can lead to skin infections and discomfort for your furry friend. Our flea treatment targets the fleas causing this irritation, providing relief for your pet and preventing further complications.
Visible Fleas on Your Pet or in Your Home
If you can actually see fleas jumping on your pet's fur or on carpets, upholstery, or bedding, you have a flea infestation. Fleas are small, dark, and move quickly, so they can be hard to spot. But if you see them, it's a clear sign that you need professional flea control. These visible fleas are just the tip of the iceberg; for every flea you see, there are many more eggs and larvae hidden in your home that need to be eliminated. It is important that you contact Jackson Pest Guys immediately when you first start noticing fleas or you might get an infestation that requires other pest removal services like cockroach control.
Flea Bites on Humans
Flea bites on humans are typically small, red, and itchy, often appearing in clusters on the ankles and legs. If you or your family members are experiencing these bites, it's a strong indication that you have fleas in your home. While flea bites are usually not dangerous, they can be very uncomfortable and may lead to secondary skin infections if scratched. Our treatment eliminates the source of these bites, providing relief for your family and preventing further discomfort.
Flea Dirt
Flea dirt is flea feces, and it looks like small, black specks. You may find it on your pet's fur, bedding, carpets, or other areas where your pet spends time. If you're not sure if it's flea dirt, try placing the specks on a damp paper towel. If they turn reddish-brown, it's flea dirt. Ignoring flea dirt can allow the flea population to continue to thrive and spread, necessitating immediate treatment to control the infestation.
Allergic Reactions
Some people and pets are allergic to flea bites. Allergic reactions can range from mild skin irritation to more severe symptoms, such as hives, swelling, and difficulty breathing. If you or your pet are experiencing an allergic reaction to flea bites, seek medical attention and contact us for immediate flea treatment to eliminate the source of the allergens. Also be sure to contact your local vet to address your pets medical health. Remember, we also offer tick control services to protect your pets.
Unexplained Tapeworm Infections
Fleas can transmit tapeworms to pets and humans. If your pet has been diagnosed with a tapeworm infection, fleas may be the culprit. Tapeworm infections can cause digestive issues and other health problems. Eliminating fleas is crucial to preventing further tapeworm infections and protecting the health of your family and pets. If you notice any unusual symptoms in your pet, consult with a veterinarian to determine the cause and best course of treatment. If you notice that your pet has ingested a tapeworm, reach out to your local veterinarian.
Understanding Flea Behavior and Life Cycle
To effectively combat flea infestations, it's essential to understand their behavior and life cycle. Fleas go through four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Adult fleas live on animals and feed on their blood, while the other stages occur in the environment. They can even affect the wildlife that visits your yard.
Egg Stage
Flea eggs are small, white, and oval-shaped, and they are laid by adult female fleas on the host animal. However, because they are not sticky, they often fall off the host and into the surrounding environment, such as carpets, upholstery, and bedding. The eggs can hatch in as little as two days, depending on temperature and humidity.
Since the infestation commonly originates from pets, if you live close to Ridgeland or Brandon, this can be an issue year round if you are out in the parks. This also means you should consider additional services such as mosquito control if you frequent outside during the summer.
Larva Stage
Flea larvae are small, worm-like creatures that feed on organic debris in the environment, such as adult flea feces, dead insects, and plant matter. They prefer dark, humid environments and can be found in carpets, cracks and crevices, and under furniture. The larval stage lasts from 4 to 18 days, depending on food availability and environmental conditions.
Pupa Stage
Once the larva is fully grown, it spins a silken cocoon and enters the pupa stage. Inside the cocoon, the larva transforms into an adult flea. The pupa stage can last from a few days to several months, depending on environmental conditions. The adult flea will emerge from the cocoon when it detects a suitable host nearby.
Adult Stage
Adult fleas are small, wingless insects that feed on the blood of mammals and birds. They have strong legs that allow them to jump long distances. Once they find a host, they will remain on the host and feed and reproduce. Because fleas are insects that survive better in warmer conditions you should continue service even in surrounding areas like Clinton and Pearl during milder winters to ensure proper maintenance. Female fleas can lay up to 50 eggs per day, which can quickly lead to a large infestation.
Preparing Your Home for Flea Treatment
Prior to our flea treatment service, it's important to prepare your home to ensure the best possible results. Here are some steps you can take:
Vacuum Thoroughly
Vacuum all carpets, rugs, and floors thoroughly, paying special attention to areas where your pet spends time. Vacuuming removes flea eggs, larvae, and pupae from the environment. Be sure to empty the vacuum cleaner bag or canister immediately after vacuuming to prevent the fleas from escaping.
Wash Bedding
Wash all bedding, including your pet's bedding, in hot water. This will kill any fleas or flea eggs that may be present. If the infestation is really bad, a good way to prevent future infestations is to simply replace your pets bedding all together.
Clear Clutter
Clear away any clutter from floors, closets, and under furniture. Clutter provides hiding places for fleas and makes it difficult for us to treat effectively. Doing also includes things like removing trash or any items that can cause other species like raccoons to stay and create an environment where fleas are likely to thrive.
Move Furniture
Move furniture away from walls to allow us to treat all areas of your home. This will ensure that we can reach all potential hiding places for fleas.
Keep Pets and Children Away
Keep pets and children away from treated areas until the treatment has dried completely. This will prevent them from being exposed to the treatment products.
Preventative Measures for Flea Control
Preventing flea infestations is an ongoing process that requires vigilance and consistent effort. Here are some preventative measures you can take to keep fleas away:
Treat Your Pets Regularly
Use flea control products recommended by your veterinarian to treat your pets regularly. These products can kill fleas before they have a chance to reproduce. There are many different types of flea control products available, so talk to your veterinarian about which one is best for your pet. You could also consider services such as mosquito control to prevent fleas in the surrounding exterior of your property!
Maintain Your Yard
Keep your yard clean and well-maintained. Mow your lawn regularly, trim bushes and trees, and remove leaf litter and other debris. These are all flea-friendly environments you want to avoid.
Seal Cracks and Crevices
Seal any cracks and crevices in your home to prevent fleas from entering. This includes cracks in walls, floors, and around windows and doors.
