Flea Control

Fleas will bite pets and humans. They feed by sucking blood, the faces are seen as black 'dirt' in your pet's coat. Adult fleas stay on your pet, and start laying eggs within 24 HOURS after feeding.

Your pet then acts like a pepper pot dropping eggs on the carpets and furniture. The eggs develop into larvae then pupae, which hatch into adult fleas and these quickly jump on to your pet. The whole cycle can take just 21 days. In ideal conditions ten female fleas can produce 1/4 million offspring in one month! At any one time, less than 5% of a flea population is in the adult biting stage on the animal. 95% are immature fleas in the environment.
