Fleas Control in NYC | Diamond Plus Pest Control
Understanding Fleas and the Threat They Pose
Fleas are tiny insects, wingless, and usually survive by feeding off the blood of their hosts—such as pets and humans. For such small size, these can jump around 200 times their body length and thus happen to be regarded as expert hitchhikers. These pests normally remain active year-round but thrive throughout the warmer months, during New York City’s humid springs and summers.
Flea Life Cycle
Fleas have a metamorphosis; they undergo the stages of egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Female fleas can lay up to 50 eggs daily, often on your pet. These, in turn, fall onto the carpets, into the furniture, or into the bedding of the animal. Left unprofessionally dealt with, they multiply tremendously.
Health Risks of Fleas
They act as vectors of murine typhus, flea-borne spotted fever, and tapeworms, among others. In addition, the infestation may result in flea allergic dermatitis to your pets manifested by acute scratching, hair loss, and secondary infections. Worst of all, your pet could develop anemia due to a serious flea infestation.
Signs You Need Flea Pest Control
The earlier the recognition of a flea infestation, the better to prevent an outbreak.
Common Signs on Animal Pets:
- Excessive scratching, especially around the neck and tail region.
- Presence of flea dirt (black specks resembling pepper) in fur.
- Red irritated skin or sudden hair loss.
- Pale gums are one symptom of anemia.
Common Signs in Your House:
- Small clusters of red flea bites around the ankles and lower legs.
- Black or white specks, "salt and pepper appearance" on animal bedding or carpet (flea feces and eggs).
