Diseases they have spread

Did you know that fleas are well known to be the main pest that spread the black plague? The black plague was discovered to be a bacterium called Yersinia pestis that was transmitted to humans from the fleas that infested rats. They are mostly known for carrying bacteria baste ailments that, thanks to antibiotics, is not at the level of the black plague.

Do fleas lay eggs in the carpet?

The short answer is no, they do not go on the ground or carpet to lay eggs. Fleas lay eggs on their host, our pets, but the eggs are not very sticky so they fall off and land on the carpet or ground. These eggs don’t require any care from their parents so they will hatch, in 1 to 10 days, and emerge in the world as tiny larva, lasting 5 to 11 days before making a cocoon. When they are done developing, this will take between 5 to 9 days, they will locate their host, your pet, and start all over again.

What can I do to protect my pet?

The best thing for you pet is to listen to your veterinarian’s advice on keeping fleas from them. Keep your pets favorite resting spots and play areas clean. Using bombs to get rid of fleas can be ineffective towards the fleas and harmful for your pets so avoid using harsh chemical such as flea bombs to keep you and your pets safe.
