PREVENTION OF A FLEA INFESTATION
Fleas lay tiny white oval-shaped eggs better. The larva is small, pale, has bristles covering its worm-like body, lacks eyes, and has mouthparts adapted to chewing. The larvae feed on various organic matter, especially the faeces of mature fleas. The adult flea's diet consists solely of fresh blood.
Fleas are a nuisance to their hosts, causing an itching sensation, which in turn may result in the host attempting to remove the pest by biting, pecking, scratching etc. in the vicinity of the parasite. Flea bites generally result in the formation of a slightly raised, swollen itching spot with a single puncture point at the centre (similar to a mosquito bite). The bites often appear in clusters or lines of two bites, and can remain itchy and inflamed for up to several weeks afterwards.
Here is a few steps to prevent further infestation:

Here is a few steps to prevent further infestation:
- Ensure your vacuuming is thorough on carpets, tiles and crevices to get rid of any eggs that are ready to hatch!
- Clean animal bedding thoroughly and regularly.
- Consider flea bombs and ensure you move the furniture around. Dark areas are perfect home for flea larvae.
- Look after your animals, cats and dogs.
- Bath the cat or dog on regular basis. Soapy water eliminates the parasites by drowning. Brush your pet’s coat on the daily basis.
- Ensure your pets kennel is clean and ventilated. Fleas love humid environments.
