Flea infestations can quickly escalate if not addressed promptly. Understanding the flea life cycle—from eggs to larvae, pupae, and adults—is crucial for effective control. A single female flea can produce thousands of eggs, leading to a rapid increase in the flea population. Flea larvae are not a collection of fleas; each larva develops into one adult flea. The entire lifecycle can be as short as two weeks under ideal conditions. Adult fleas typically live for 2 to 3 months, but their lifespan can be shortened without a host. Delaying treatment can lead to discomfort and health issues for pets and humans, making timely intervention essential. Alta Pest Control provides comprehensive solutions to break the flea life cycle and keep your home, yard, and pets flea-free.
