FLEA INFORMATION COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES FLORIDA

INFORMATION ABOUT FLEAS

            Fleas are pest to humans and their domestic animals all over the world.  While most fleas prefer non-human hosts, many can and do feed on humans when infestations are heavy or when other hosts are not readily available.

                Fleas are small, wingless parasitic insects that are extremely well adapted to their environment.  The first step toward effective control is recognizing two very important factors.  First, the 4 stages of the flea life cycle (egg, larva, pupa, and adult) have to be broken or stopped.  Second, the flea population must be controlled everywhere it exists, on the pet, inside the home, and out in the yard.

                1.  THE EGG STAGE

                The eggs are laid loosely and singly on the host.  The eggs are not sticky so when the host shakes, scratches, or moves around the eggs will be deposited in all areas where the hosts rest, sleeps, and is active.

                2.  THE LARVAL STAGE

                Flea larva is whitish, legless, and worm like.  Unlike adult fleas, the larvae are free living (non-parasitic) with chewing mouth parts and feed on material available in their environment.   It is necessary for successful development of the larva to feed on organic debris and the adult flea excrement containing dried blood which composes the main diet of the flea larva. Larvae are more sensitive to temperature and humidity than the eggs.  Low humidity, less than 50%, is fatal for flea larvae.  The larval period normally lasts 7-15 days, but can be as long as several months if the environment is less favorable.

                3.  THE PUPAL STAGE

                Unlike the egg and larval stage, the pupa stage is very resilient to harsh conditions.  The cocoon serves to protect the pupa from predators and also acts as a barrier against insecticides.  Within the cocoon the pupa changes into a pre-emerged adult flea.  Adults will emerge from the pupa case in 5-7 days under favorable conditions.  In adverse conditions, the pupae and pre-emerged adults can lay quiet within the cocoon for up to a full year.   Flea emergence can be stimulated by body warmth of the host and the pressure made by a host walking on the pre-emerged adult within the cocoon, increased temperatures and mechanical disturbances.

                4.  THE ADULT STAGE

                The adult flea has well developed legs for jumping.  Adults have piercing-sucking mouth parts and are usually ready to take a blood meal, their only source of food, 24-48 hours after emerging from the cocoon.  Adult fleas spend 90% of their life on the host and feed many times a day.  On average, the female flea lays 15-20 eggs per day for the 10-14 days that she is fertile.

                For an effective flea program to stop any re-infestation of fleas in all areas, the pet, the home, and the yard must be treated.  Pets drop flea eggs anywhere at any time.  After hatching, the flea larva then can migrate to dark low traffic areas where food is available.  All stages of the flea can be carried throughout the house in the laundry, on people or on their clothing.  Also, if the infested pet frequently travels in the family vehicle it may be necessary to treat the vehicle as well.  Outdoor treatment is also necessary when the pets are allowed outside.

                Although nearly all adult fleas present at the time of service will be controlled, don't be alarmed if you see some fleas within a few days to three weeks after treatment.  These are newly emerged adults from the cocoon of the pupa stage.  If these conditions are present after treatment, control the new adults on the pet with bathing or a pet flea insecticide.  Any flea prevention program must include regular grooming and bathing of the pet.  If the pet is not being treated regularly, you could see constant sighting of fleas.  Your home and your yard would not be re-infested but your pet would be infested.

                To insure a continuous protection from fleas on your home and yard, we recommend that you renew your flea services at the end of each guarantee period.  Call, 239-455-4300, us today for a free estimate and a complete explanation on any of our service, or look us up on our web site at collierpestcontrol.com.  Don't let unwanted guests spoil your beautiful Southwest Florida lifestyle!  Remember, Florida does not have to be share with insects!

INSECT DEFINITION COLLIER PEST CONTROL NAPLES FLORIDA

INSECT METAMORPHOSIS 

Definition of an Insect:

                To be a true insect, it must have:

?         Three Body parts

?         Six Legs

?         Two Antenna

?         Two Pairs of wings. 

                Flies are an exception in that they have one pair of wings and one pair of modified wings called "haltres", which are balance organs.  If the ADULT insect does not have of the above structures, they are not insects.  For example: a Spider has only two body parts, and no wings, therefore, it is not an insect.

Complete Metamorphosis:

                This is the most common growth process for insects.  There are four clearly defined different stages in a Complete Metamorphosis development, which are egg, larva, pupae, and adult.  Each stage has a completely different form, mouthpart, food source, and lives in different locations.  The egg stage is laid by the adult.  It hatches into a larvae form, sometimes commonly called a caterpillar.  The sole purpose of the larvae is to eat and prepare to incase itself into the next stage called the pupae, which looks much like a cocoon.  When in the pupae stage the insect completely re-organizes its body form and hatches into the adult.

                Samples of the Complete Metamorphosis are moth, butterflies, flies, fleas, ant's bees and wasps.

Gradual Metamorphosis: 

This is not a common as the complete metamorphosis.  There are many types of insects that do have the General Metamorphosis.  With the General Metamorphosis there are three distinct stages of development, which are the egg, nymph, and adult.  The eggs are laid by the adult.  The eggs emerge into the nymph stage that look similar to the adult but is not the same. Nymphs and adults may look different, but live and feed in the same places. They have the same mouthparts and eat the same food.   The nymph stage looks like an adult but is smaller, has no wings, and is not sexually mature.  The nymph stage has to molt several times to develop completely into an adult.  With each molt of the nymph the insect grows larger and more developed until it molts for the last time into an adult.

 Samples of Gradual Metamorphosis are cockroaches, termites, grasshoppers, bedbugs, and earwigs.

Without Metamorphosis: 

This is the least common form of development.  There are only two types of insects having Without Metamorphosis development.  There are three similar stages of the Without Metamorphosis development, which are the egg, an instaring stage, and adult. The eggs are laid by the adult.  The eggs emerge out as young looking adults.  The young grow up shedding their exoskeleton several times before reaching the adult stage.  The young and adults live in the same place, have the same mouthparts, and eat the same food. 

Samples of Without Metamorphosis are silverfish and the firebrat.Call, 239-455-4300,
