Do you know the life cycle of a flea? 😮

➡Here are some important facts about the flea cycle you should know!

- Adult fleas will mate and start laying eggs in the fur and surroundings of their host after locating an animal or human host and feeding on blood. Depending on environmental factors including humidity and temperature, eggs will hatch in one to 10 days.

- Fleas go through a larval stage after developing from an egg. Larvae are free-moving organisms that continue to develop by feeding on blood and flea f***s.

- After consuming flea dirt for five to twenty days, the larvae will spin a cocoon and mature into pupae. Until adult fleas are ready to emerge, the pupa is shielded by the cocoon from surrounding conditions and insecticides/repellents for a few days or weeks.

- Until a host becomes immediately visible, such as movement or body heat, which indicates that a blood meal is close, adult fleas will not emerge from the cocoon. within a few hours of coming out of the cocoon, adult females start feeding on a host. They will then mate and deposit eggs shortly after which starts the cycle all over again.

🛡Protecting Indoor and Outdoor Cats from Ticks 🛡

☁️☀️🌷What Time of Year Do I Need to be Worried About Ticks?🍂☔️❄️
"Although we might think of ticks as being a nuisance during warmer months, some species of ticks are actually very active during cooler times of the year. For example, the deer tick, which can spread Lyme disease, is active on days when the temperature rises just above freezing.2 We can’t predict when the temperature may go above freezing causing ticks to be active, so it’s important to keep your cat on year-round tick prevention."

Tick bites can cause irritation and spread dangerous disease to both outdoor cats as well as cats that live inside.
