Fleas affect human health and the health of our pets by transferring disease from their saliva to our blood. They also ruin the day when they are discovered on our bodies or our pets’ bodies. Everyone wants freedom from fleas and is usually quick to start a Flea Control program.
The life cycle of the Flea
Fleas are most active in warm and humid weather. Fleas can enter adulthood when temperatures reach 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit, and the humidity reaches 70-80 percent. This is quite common in Corpus Christi and is why we have such a flea problem.
The thick fur of animals creates these conditions. As well as beds and often the clothing we wear. Pest Control efforts should focus on areas in and around the home meeting these conditions.
Determining the source of fleas is the first step in Flea Control.
Remove the animal that is getting the fleas ASAP! Next, your mammal pets should be treated for fleas. Finally, the backyard, and possibly the front yard or crawl space, should be treated with an approved and appropriate pesticide. The trick is to break the life cycle. iPro Pest Control does this by first killing the adults and then stopping juveniles from becoming adults.
The Insect Treatment Checklist is essential to follow. It will make the treatment made by i-Pro Pest Control much more effective. Please scroll down the bottom menu and print this checklist off. Start a few days before your scheduled treatment and call if you have questions or want clarification.
Tick infestations are more involved than regular treatments because they often involve a vector animal.
