What Do Fleas Look Like?
Cat and dog fleas can be found in the same area and are very similar in appearance. Adults are small, 1/8th of an inch long, wingless, laterally flattened, and have piercing-sucking mouths. They have very well-developed legs that allow them to jump at least 6 inches straight up. Flea larva are ¼ inches long when fully developed. They look very similar to fly maggots except for their well-developed heads.
Flea Life Cycle
Fleas undergo a complete metamorphosis. After each blood meal, females lay 4-8 eggs at a time on the host animal (400-800 total within her lifetime). The eggs fall off into nest, bedding, or other locations where the animal lays, plays, or stays. Eggs then hatch in about 10 days and feed on adult flea feces, which contain dried blood.
In warmer months the larva molt 3 times in a period of 7 days, and in colder months, it can take up to several months for lava to molt.

How ValuePest Takes Care of Fleas
Effective flea control requires customer cooperation and three steps of treatment: sanitation, insecticide application, and on-animal flea control. The infested house must be thoroughly vacuumed to remove flea larvae, pupae, and food materials. Pets should be treated by a veterinarian, pet groomer, or the owner to make sure the adult fleas are controlled at the source.
Our expert flea removal process involves:
- Inspection – The first step in our professional treatment program is careful inspection.
- Identification – Before applying treatment, we must identify all areas that have been infested. For instance, if your infested pet is smaller, chances are that they are going into smaller areas around the home. If you miss these smaller areas, the treatment may not be successful.
- Determination – Once we have identified the pets resting sites, we determine the proper treatment process. Which treatments will work best for this infestation?
- Control – Making sure that the product is applied correctly, every time is crucial.
- Communication – The last part of a successful flea control is communication. Our technician reports what was found during our inspection, what we did about it, and what you can expect from our treatment in the future.
