Flea control London

By contacting London Pest Solutions we will offer you a Fumigation Service which will ensure that all the Fleas are eliminated in a single visit by our qualified technicians. A thorough treatment to all floor and fabric areas is required. We use the most up to date insecticides with hormone growth regulators to eradicate and break the life cycle of the insect. A four hour exclusion time is required after this treatment is completed.

Flea is the common name for insects of the order Siphonaptera which are wingless insects with mouth parts adapted for piercing skin and sucking blood. Fleas are external parasites, living by hematophagy off blood of mammals (including bats and humans) and birds.

Fleas are small (1/16 to 1/8-inch (1.5 to 3.3 mm) long), agile, usually dark colored (for example, the reddish-brown of the cat flea), wingless insects with tube-like mouth-parts adapted to feeding on the blood of their hosts. Their legs are long, the hind pair well adapted for jumping: a flea can jump vertically up to 7 inches (18 cm) and horizontally up to 13 inches (33 cm). This is around 200 times their own body length, making the flea one of the best jumpers of all known animals (relative to body size). Their bodies are laterally compressed, permitting easy movement through the hairs or feathers on the host’s body (or in the case of humans, under clothing).

Fleas lay tiny white oval-shaped eggs better viewed through a loupe. The larva is small, pale, has bristles covering its worm-like body, lacks eyes, and has mouth parts adapted to chewing. The larvae feed on various organic matter, especially the feces of mature fleas. The adult flea’s diet consists solely of fresh blood. In the pupal phase, the larva is enclosed in a silken, debris-covered cocoon.
