Fleas and their behaviour. Fleas are readily controlled provided you take a few simple steps.
The majority of fleas found in our homes are of the ‘Cat Flea’ variety.
This type of flea prefers the cat or dog as its host: however it may also
use humans. The name ‘Sand Flea’ is commonly used. This is not a different
variety of flea but a term describing a location where fleas are often
found. Fleas generally only bite humans where there is a severe plague or
when the normal host animal has left the premises. For example, it is quite
common to experience a flea plague after a pet’s death or when moving into
a vacant premises that has previously housed dog or cat. The pupil stage of
development can stay in the carpets undisturbed edges of floors etc for up
to one year. These pupas will develop into adult fleas as soon as the house
is occupied again. If you are having a
problem with fleas or would like to know more information about fleas
please contact Stewarts and we will be
