What is the “life cycle” of the flea?
• Flea eggs hatch off of pets, in grass, carpets, bedding, etc. • They molt in the environment undergoing several life stage changes. • In the adult phase they find a suitable host (e.g. your pet), they breed, and females take a blood meal. • The female fleas lay eggs on the pet. These then fall off the host, hatch in suitable hatching areas, and the cycle starts anew.
