Fleas
Proudly Serving Metro Philadelphia Area and Southern New Jersey Homes For Over 20 Years
What Are Fleas?
Fleas are tiny brown or black external parasites that feed on mammals and birds by ingesting the blood of their host. Their bodies are flattened sideways which allows them to easily move through fur and easily attach to their hosts by using claws to keep them secured. Fleas pierce through the skin with their mouth parts which allows them to suck blood from their host.
There are 2,500 different species of the Flea which are found all over the world, including China, Russia, Australia and migrated into other areas by hitching a ride on mammals and birds. Fleas can jump up to 50 times their body length because their hind legs are well-adapted for such distance and travel. This actually makes the Flea one of the best jumpers of all animals.
Are Fleas dangerous?
Fleas are considered to be dangerous since they are disease vectors or agents that carry and transmit viruses or bacterial diseases directly to humans or animals. Several famous plagues that began from bacterial diseases that were carried by fleas, transmitted to humans, and then spread quickly throughout the human population were the Bubonic Plague and Endemic Typhus. Unlike mice, fleas do not live as long and only have a lifespan of a little over a month.
A Flea infestation in your home or business can be a main cause for spreading of disease to humans and pets. The best way to eliminate and maintain effective Flea control in your home or business is to prevent flea infestations by giving your pets regular flea treatments.
These treatments will kill adult fleas, their larvae and their unhatched eggs. You may have to repeat these treatments since Fleas have a life span of more than a month and a consecutive treatment would kill any larvae or eggs that have not hatched yet.
How do I prevent Fleas?
Affordable Pest Solutions exterminators suggest that if you suspect there may be a Flea infestation beginning in your home or business, you must take action immediately by scheduling an appointment for a pest inspection. In very minor cases, It is best to treat carpets, upholstery, bedding, and baseboards in your home since an infestation can occur very quickly and only in a matter of weeks. However, if a more serious case occurs, it will require flea control treatment from a professional like Affordable Pest Solutions.
How will Fleas effect my home or business?
Fleas can cause plenty of problems for your New Jersey commercial and residential property. Bites from Fleas can be very unpleasant since they irritate the skin and cause raised whelps on the skin. Fleas also bite pets, giving them viruses and some pets may even be allergic to them. Cats and Dogs are more susceptible to parasites and tapeworms that can be passed to them by ingesting fleas or their eggs.
Without any proper flea treatment, your Metro Philadelphia or New Jersey residential or commercial property may become a health risk to you, your family and/or customers or employees.
