Fleas

What are fleas?

fleas in middle tennessee

Fleas are external wingless parasites that feed on the blood of their hosts.

They have a hard flat body that measures 1/8 of an inch in length.

Fleas are dark brown in color with large back legs used for jumping.

If you have adult fleas in your home, eggs and larvae are likely to be present as well.

Flea eggs are white and oval shaped, but are difficult to see with the naked eye. Flea larvae are larger than adult fleas. They measure about ¼ of an inch in length and resemble a maggot.

Are fleas dangerous?

Flea bites can cause allergic reactions in humans and their pets; usually small, itchy, red raised bumps are left behind after they have fed on their hosts. Fleas found in Nashville and throughout Middle Tennessee are not known to carry infectious diseases. They are, however, known to infect people and pets with tapeworms and can carry the bubonic plague, along with murine flea born typhus.

Why do I have a flea problem?

Fleas will make their way onto your property via wild animals such as raccoons, squirrels and foxes. They are then usually transferred to your pets and brought into your home. Even if you do not own pets, your home can still be at risk because fleas have such a high vertical jump, often 6-7 inches, they will enter your home on your pant legs and shoes.

How do I get rid of fleas?

Getting rid of fleas can be very frustrating; you have to make sure that all the adults, larvae, and eggs have been eliminated or a re-infestation will reoccur. At All-American Pest Control, we can eliminate your flea infestation indoors and help to control the flea population outdoors with our tick and flea yard treatments in Nashville and Middle Tennessee.
