Flea, the common name for the Siphonaptera, includes 2,500 species of small flightlessinsects that live as external parasites mammals and birds. Fleas live by ingesting the blood of their hosts. Adult fleas grow to about 3 millimetres (1⁄8 inch) long, are usually brown, and have bodies that are "flattened" sideways or narrow, enabling them to move through their hosts' fur or feathers. They lack wings; their hind legs are extremely well adapted for jumping. Their claws keep them from being dislodged, and their mouthparts are adapted for piercing skin and sucking blood. Some species can leap 50 times their body length, a feat second only to jumps made by another group of insects, the superfamily of froghoppers. Flea larvae are worm-like, with no limbs; they have chewing mouthparts and feed on organic debris left on their hosts' skin.flea control and professional flea removal is extremely important.
Flea eggs and larvae are pretty small and hard to spot making flea control hard If there’s a home infestation, you might just see things that look like grains of sand or salt, or little white caterpillars on the floor or other places our pets go, such as their bed or a sofa.
The things that look like little grains of sand will be flea eggs. They’re white, oval and only about half a millimetre long, so it’s easy to mistake them for a bit of dry skin or something less harmful than a flea egg.
The white caterpillar-looking things will be flea larvae. Flea eggs hatch into flea larvae that burrow into carpets, furnishings and nooks and crannies – such as skirting boards and between floorboards – so you might not even see them at all. They’re about 2-5 mm long. it is better to get professional flea removal flea pest control quickly.
