Fleas are small, dark brown insects that live off the blood of mammals and birds. Fleas are a common nuisance for pet owners and can often be found in homes with pets. Fleas can cause health problems for both humans and animals, so it is important to get rid of them as soon as possible.
Fleas go through four stages in their life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The entire cycle can take place in as little as two weeks, which makes flea infestations difficult to control. Extermination efforts must target all stages of the flea. Typically, the adults you are seeing are only about 5% of the actual flea population, the rest of the 95% are in the other stages, and these are not affected directly by chemical application.
