How does a Flea infestation occur?
The most common cause of a Flea infestation occurs when a pet comes into contact with the pest. They can be picked up in places where other pets frequent. Adult fleas are able to reproduce as soon as they take a blood meal, and spend most of their time on your pet, feeding and reproducing. The female flea can lay up to fifteen eggs a day which can be dropped in your dwelling. In a few days, the eggs hatch into tiny larvae, which feed on particles of food or debris.
