Professional Sandbach Flea Treatment

Fleas

Fleas carry diseases and parasitic worms which affect humans. It is easy for fleas to infest your home; it is very difficult to eradicate them. Young's Pest Control is here to help with our Sandbach flea treatment service.

Life Cycle

Fleas begin life as tiny eggs, which are barely visible to the human eye. The eggs are pearly-colored and are usually laid in animal fur, including those of our household cats and dogs. Once inside your home, however, the eggs can be laid in carpets, bedding and any other soft furnishings. This makes Sandbach flea treatment problematic, since the flea infestation may appear to be cleared, only to find that a brand new wave of fleas appears a short time later.

Larvae hatch from the eggs after two to three days. The larvae are whitish in color, and around half a centimeter in length. The larvae cocoon themselves in pupae and will emerge as fully grown adult fleas within three to four weeks.

Adult fleas can survive for several weeks without feeding but will begin searching, in order to find a host from which they may feed, from the moment they emerge from their cocoon.

Adult fleas proceed to lay more eggs and, if unchecked, the flea population grows exponentially.

Flea Treatment

Sandbach flea treatment depends upon the size and nature of the flea infestation. In most instances, the fleas have been carried into the home by family pets. Sometimes they manage to cling on to the homeowner's clothing and make it into the home via this route. In certain cases, the fleas may be a side effect of a rodent problem, which the homeowner may, or may not, be aware of. If this is thought to be the case, it is necessary to establish exactly which species is the carrier for the fleas and to take action as appropriate to resolve the problem. Young's Pest Control has a variety of services which will remove any pest species, rodent or otherwise.

Once the vector for the fleas has been discovered, the Sandbach flea treatment process can begin in earnest. Due to the need for adult flea removal in tandem with stopping fresh eggs from hatching, the most reliable method to treat most infestations is flea fumigation. Young's Pest Control carries a wide range of specially formulated flea fumigation products, which are sure to remove any fleas from your home first time.

In order for Sandbach flea treatment to be successful, your home must be thoroughly treated, including any soft furnishings in the infested area. We strongly advise against attempting to treat flea infestations yourself, as any unsuccessful attempts will only serve to worsen the problem in the long run by not stemming the influx of pests. Our staff are highly experienced in Sandbach flea treatment services and will be able to advise you on how to avoid any further infestation in the future. We are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week to address any flea infestation problems you may have.
