Fleas Control Manchester

Do you have a Fleas control problem in Manchester? Rodent X are here to help! ​

 

The Latin name for fleas is Order Siphonaptera. They are very small at approximately 2.55 mm in length, their bodies are usually light red and they have microscopic hair to help it move around in animal fur. They are not able to fly although they are capable of jumping up to 8 inches vertically, which is more than 140 times their own size. 

​

The most common way for homes to become infested with fleas is through owning animals such as cats and dogs, or if you move into a new home that already has an ongoing infestation.

 

Fleas survive by feeding on blood. They sometimes feed on rodents and when they die they will search for another animal with preferably warm blood such as cats, dogs, and even people if nothing else is available. Their bites can cause some serious problems such as spreading the murine typus disease from feeding on infected rats before feeding on a person. Their bites are also very itchy, unpleasant to look at, and can cause an allergic reaction in both humans and pets.

How To Prevent Flea Infestations 

​

Because fleas are so small it can be quite challenging to keep your home infestation free, however, there are a few septs you can take to help prevent one from occurring. Keeping your dogs away from other dogs when you go for a walk will help as the fleas can only jump so far, and giving your pets a flea treatment on a monthly basis can stop the infestation before it gets going. Hoovering your floors often can help massively as this can pick up any eggs the female lays, which can sometimes be in the hundreds. Finally, another way that can be effective is washing yours and your pet's bedding on high heat can kill any fleas and flea eggs that are currently situated on it.
