Understanding the flea life cycle is key to effective pest control. Fleas go through four stages: eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. Female fleas can lay up to 50 eggs per day, which hatch within 2-5 days. The larvae feed on flea dirt and eventually cocoon themselves in the pupal stage, awaiting favorable conditions to emerge as adults. This lifecycle makes fleas particularly resilient, requiring comprehensive treatment to fully eradicate infestations.

Ticks: Persistent Pests and Disease Carriers

Ticks are known for transmitting diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Unlike fleas, ticks do not spend their entire lives on their host. Instead, they attach to a host to feed before dropping off into the environment. Ticks undergo a life cycle of eggs, larvae, nymphs, and adults, with each stage requiring a blood meal. Effective tick control involves not only treating the host but also targeting the environments where ticks thrive.
