Precision Pest Control

FLIES & FLEAS

Nothing can succeed in spreading disease quite like a Housefly. The fly that you see at the breakfast table helping itself to the butter or jam may well have just flown in after carrying out an intimate exploration of animal droppings.

Apart from the diseases they carry, flies have disgusting eating habits. They feed by regurgitating digestive juices and then sucking up the resulting soup through their probiscus. They also lay eggs that quickly hatch into maggots. Their strict control is essential to hygiene everywhere.

Flea Fleas are small blood-sucking parasites that feed on your cats and dogs and you, too, if all else fails. The female of the species routinely consumes 15 times her body weight in blood (the flea's favourite meal) every day. This very high protein diet enables her to lay about 25 eggs every 24 hours or so, or between 600 and 800 eggs in her lifetime. 40 fleas can turn into a million or so within around 30 days.

Fleas are absolute gluttons, and will continue to bite a host until they can't eat any more. The fleas you may see dining on your dog represent only 5 percent of your total flea population. The remainder will be split as 50 eggs, 30 in the larvae stage and 15 that are all wrapped up in the pupae or cocoon stage, soon to hatch and start feeding and laying more eggs.
