It is very important to start your flea control prevention before you see the fleas. Adult fleas can lay thousands of eggs and the best way to prevent infestation is to break the cycle. Some people stop using their flea control products during the winter. The fact is the fleas in most cases are not gone they are just not as prevalent. Fleas are living in the cooler darker areas of your your home.

Although fleas can be a problem for your pets all year, flea populations typically explode about 5–6 weeks after the weather starts to warm up.

Life Cycle of Ctenocephalides felis

EGG STAGE A female lays about 2,000 eggs in her lifetime. In one day, a single female flea can lay up to 50 eggs. The eggs aren’t sticky – they quickly fall off your pet and into areas of your home. In 2-10 days, the eggs hatch.

LARVAL STAGE After hatching, the larvae head toward dark places around your home and feed on “flea dirt” – flea feces containing partially digested blood from your pet. The larvae grow, molt twice, then spin cocoons, where they grow to pupae.

PUPA STAGE Immature fleas spend approximately 8–9 days in their cocoon. During this time, they continue to grow to adulthood, waiting for the signals that it is time to emerge.

ADULT STAGE Full-grown adults detect heat, vibrations and exhaled carbon dioxide from inside their cocoons, telling them a host is nearby. The adults leave their cocoons, hop onto a host, find a mate and begin the life cycle all over again.
