There are over seventy to eighty species of fleas in Australia, the cat flea & the dog flea being the most common. They're black or sometimes brown in colour & about 1-6mm in length. In Sydney, cat fleas are way more common, that are found upon dogs and cats.
"Grass Fleas" & "Sand Fleas"
A common urban myth is that there are 'sand fleas' and 'grass fleas'. All fleas live off hosts, and couldn't survive just living in grass or sand without a host. The real culprits are cat fleas lying in all these places after their pet has shaken off onto the ground.
The very best option to eliminate fleas is to continually wash your pets in a safe, residual flea shampoo. Typical vacuuming flea-infested areas helps, yet in most case of heavy infestations, you'll require to get in a skilled pest control company.
What are fleas?
Fleas are jumping insects without any wings. They've flattened body, with hooks on their hairy legs so that they can slip through & grip onto their human and animal hosts. Their powerful hind-legs have resilin that's like rubber in their joints.
All they have to do to get around is compress these legs & rapidly release them. Utilizing this technique, they can jump up to 20cms and up to 35cm horizontally. This is over 150 times their body length!
A person with exactly the same jumping power could jump on top of Ayres Rock!
FLEA LIFE CYCLE:
Female fleas could lay up to around 25 eggs daily, & have over 800 offspring in a lifespan. Their eggs will hatch between 5 & fourteen days & then becoming larvae. The larvae are blind & also leg-less. They feed upon dried blood from the host & other organic matter for instance dried skin. After another 2 to three weeks, the larvae will be totally grown, & and will then become pupae.
How they will greet you once you return from holidays!
Anytime vibrations or even heat is sensed, the pupa will emerge such as an adult and begin biting and feeding off the host. This may take from 2 or three weeks, or in unusual cases over a year. That is why once you return from holidays & enter your home, you're all of a sudden bitten by large quantities of fleas. Sound familiar?

Fleas are firstly controlled by shampooing your pet with a secure, continuing insecticide. Your vet can have recommended a very safe insecticide called pyrethrin, but this will only last a day or so.
The shampoos we recommend contain "Permethrin", that are technically called a synthetic pyrethroid. There will last a lot longer and aren't as dangerous and smelly as are other Organo-phosphates just like Diazinon & Maldison.
