fleas

Are your pets bitten at home? Ticks and fleas are often but not always harmless.

Ticks and fleas are small blood-sucking bugs with a size ranging from a pin to a pencil eraser. Ticks, when bite, can cause allergic reactions to humans and pets which could be deadly. Once a tick gets on a body they migrate to armpits, groin, or hair and bite as soon as they are in their most desirable spot in the body and start sucking the blood! Ticks can give you diseases like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Colorado tick fever, Tularemia, paralysis, anemia, and Ehrlichiosis. Ticks can also kill human beings by transmitting deadly infections like Powassan virus!

Fleas are small, wingless insects. Fleas on cats develop severe allergies through flea saliva, called Flea Allergy Dermatitis and develop signs such as, itching that can last longer even after the fleas have gone. Flea bites are capable of transmitting the dog tapeworm to pets and human beings along with the other bacterial diseases. Fleas infestations can quickly go out of control as they lay eggs in large numbers of 40 to 50 per day for approximately 50 days! Huge numbers of new cocoons remain inside the nests for weeks and months and come out once they get the right combination of heat and carbon dioxide. Finally, hungry adult fleas are ready to feed on you and your pets!

Most of the time over the counter pest control doesn’t resolve fleas and tick infestation. Since the immature stages of ticks and fleas are confusing in nature, it calls for a professional investigation. Professionals being equipped with the right knowledge, strategy, and latest tools, quickly control the situation no matter how bad it is, in a few days!
