Flea Control for Dogs and Cats: “Fleas are the most common external parasites of our companion animals. Fleas cause itching and can lead to other skin problems if left untreated.”
“The flea life cycle consists of eggs, larvae, pupal, and adult stages. Eggs are laid in the hair coat and are designed to fall off of your pet and into your home. Larvae hatch from the eggs and develop in a pet’s environment by feeding on adult flea f***s that fall out of the hair coat of a pet. Larvae eventually spins cocoons, often within carpet fibers, for pupation. Pupae are resistant to freezing, drying, and insecticides, and can lie dormant for months! New fleas develop from pupae ready to feed off of your pet! Please make sure we are keeping our pets safe year round from those pesky fleas!”
