Pet medication products from Frontline Plus and Frontline Top Spot are essential to the health and well being of your pet. Flea bites cause discomfort and irritation, and they are responsible for flea allergy dermatitis. In addition, fleas often carry tapeworm, a harmful intestinal parasite. Fleas can quickly infest your home, necessitating the need for spraying or fumigating the premises, and will even bite humans.
Flea Appearance
Size : 1/12 to 1/6 inch long, but can vary from as small as 1/25 to 1/3 inch long. Their appearance, when viewed from the front, head on, the flea's body is narrow from side to side. This allows them to move readily between hairs in an animal's fur or in carpeting. Their bodies are covered with spines, which project backward, making them well adapted for moving forward between the hairs or feathers of the host's body. These spines make removal of the fleas through shaking or scratching by dogs and cats rather difficult.
Flea Habitat
Adults live in hair and clothing. Larvae are found under rugs, carpets and among accumulated lint incorporating organic matter, including the contents of carpet sweepers and vacuum cleaners.
Flea Food
Adults feed on blood from dogs, cats, coyotes, rodents, mules, deer and even humans! Larvae eat organic debris, scavenged from hosts and often they feed on "flea dirt", which is the excrement of partially digested blood produced by the adult fleas!
Flea Life Cycle
Fleas have a complete metamorphosis. Eggs are frequently laid on the host animal, but may be laid by adults, which have fallen to the ground. Female fleas scatter around 500-900 eggs during her lifetime, which may be 18 months if well fed, 4 months if starved. These eggs will hatch in anywhere from 1 day to several weeks, and will feed for 8-32 days. They pupate in cracks for 3-35 days but may wait months to emerge, aroused by vibrations from a passing potential host. Flea larvae are rarely seen due to their size. They frequently become entwined within the carpet, and resist the pull of a vacuum. The mature larva spins a cocoon for pupation, This cocoon becomes covered with grains of sand, lint, dust, or other debris from the substrate, so will be well camouflaged in the substrate.
Note: this is why a family may find their new home, or long visited condo infested with fleas, whether they do or do not have pets.
Frontline Plus and Frontline Top Spot flea and tick control have revolutionized both the control and prevention of many flea related diseases such as flea bite dermatitis, and tapeworm. We highly recommend the use of these products.
