HOW CAN I TREAT AND PREVENT FLEAS?
Products such as Revolution® can be used to treat,
control and prevent flea infestations, as well as control
flea allergy dermatitis and other parasites.
WHAT IS A FLEA?
There’s no other way to put it - fleas are blood-sucking ectoparasites (live on the skin surface of their ‘host’).
There are 2,200 flea species known in the world today. Only a few of these commonly infest dogs and cats.
Fleas are not the same as ticks.
The most common flea that affects both dogs and cats is the cat flea, or Ctenocephalides felis. Its dark brown
or black body is about one to three millimetres long. They can also feed on people, but we’re not their first
choice of meal.
INFECTIOUS DISEASES FROM FLEAS
It’s not just your Cat/dog at risk here. Fleas can carry
infectious diseases that are transmitted to humans
such as:
- Rickettsia spp. - causes flea-borne spotted fever
- Bartonella henselae – causes cat scratch fever
- Yersinia pestis – causes Plague, an identified agent of bioterrorism.
THE 4 LIFE CYCLE STAGES OF A FLEA
Adult fleas (5% of lifecycle):
- are the ones you see jumping around your dog’s coat
- bite then feed on the blood of their host
- make up 5% of the flea lifecycle
- male and female adult fleas mate and lay eggs Flea eggs
(50% of lifecycle):
- are not sticky and once laid quickly fall off the dog into the surrounding environment
- can’t be readily seen with the naked eye
- take between 1-10 days to hatch into larvae (50% of the lifecycle)
- The mated female flea lays 20-50 eggs per day and up to 2000 in her lifetime.
Flea larvae (35% of lifecycle):
- hatch from the flea eggs
- are a small worm-like life form that move away from the light
- bury themselves in dark places eg deep in carpet pile
- last 5-11 days while they undergo 2 moults to become a pupa (cocoon)
Flea pupae (10% of lifecycle):
- in a sticky impenetrable cocoon that becomes covered in debris
- cannot be harmed by insecticides.
- usually lasts 5-14 days, but may lay dormant for up to 6 months.
- Light, movement/vibrations and CO2 stimulate emergence of the adult flea from the pupae
