How to control flea and tick?
Always place a clean towel where your pet sleeps and wash it once a week. This is the best way to prevent a flea infestation because the eggs that are deposited on the host fall into the environment. In this way, the eggs are periodically discarded.
If the floor of the house is made of planks or boards, all existing openings must be caulked, as they can serve as a shelter for fleas in the environment. Periodic hygiene of domestic animals and maintenance of adequate coexistence in social housing must be maintained.
What flea and tick control?
Most fleas and ticks do not live in the hosts, but in the environments where these animals are found. Both fleas and ticks need their hosts to feed on their blood and end up transmitting diseases. However, they will breed in the environment in which these animals live and lay their eggs in crevices of sofas, mattresses, sheets, blankets, walls, lawns, etc.
Although pets are more susceptible to contamination (INFESTATION), we are also subject to suffering from these ectoparasites. They usually cause itching, dermatitis, localized infections, and some more serious illnesses. Therefore, in addition to taking care of our pets, we need to take care of the environment in which they live, as this is where the entire cycle of new fleas and ticks occurs. And therein lies the danger.
There are several products for sale that fight fleas and ticks. However, their misuse can harm our health and, especially our pets.
When to start flea and tick control?
Flea eggs become larvae in a circular shape of about 0.5 mm in about two to three days. The caterpillar has a period of about 6 to 11 days and feeds on flea dung and a part of the garbage, and when it becomes a pupa, it becomes an adult in about 6 to 14 days, and the life of the adult is about 3 to 6 weeks It is said that.
When it comes to adulthood, it seeks out the host and parasitizes it. It sucks blood within 10 minutes after infestation and lays eggs, but adult fleas lay about 4 to 20 eggs per day.
It is said that only one flea lays about 400 to 1000 eggs in a lifetime.
This means that fleas may increase in about one month.
