Fleas are jumping insects without any wings. They have flattened body, with hooks on their hairy legs to ensure that they can slip via & 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 all of these legs & quickly release them. Utilizing this technique, they can jump up to 20cms and up to 35cm horizontally. This is over 150 times their body length!

FLEA LIFE CYCLE:
Female fleas can lay up to around twenty-five eggs everyday, & have over 800 offspring in a life span. 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 like dried skin. After another 2 to three weeks, the larvae will be fully grown, & and will then become pupae.

How to Remove FLEAS PERMANENTLY IN SYDNEY AUSTRALIA:
Fleas are firstly controlled by shampooing your pet with a secure, recurring insecticide. Your vet can have advised a really safe insecticide called pyrethrin, but this will only last a day or so.
The shampoos we suggest contain "Permethrin", that are technically called a synthetic pyrethroid. There will last considerably longer and aren't as dangerous and stinky as are other Organo-phosphates for instance Diazinon & Maldison.
Tip: evaluate the active ingredients section at the front of the bottle or can. normally follow the application form and security directions on any flea control item.
We recommend that you shampoo your pets each and every 2 weeks in the summertime and about each month in winter.
Preparing your home for flea treatment
On the day of treatment, such things ought to be done before the flea pest control organisation gets there:
1. Remove all children & pets from the areas about to be sprayed
2. To get the maximum benefit of the treatment, remove all items from the floor & lawn areas
3. We can not spray long grass, as it'll not get to the ground area that demands to be remedied. Mow lawns & hose dry areas to get the eggs to the surface. This will even help keep the evaporating impact of the insecticide down.
4. Vacuuming all floor areas and carpet, especially skirting boards & under furniture & cushions. Vacuum bags may be discarded or sprayed with common fly spray so as to kill any adult fleas captured within the bag.
5. BLOCK OFF AREAS FROM ENTRY BY PETS
This is necessary for long-term protection. If your pet is going under the home carrying fleas, these will be dropped into the soil. We can't flood the area to get to where they are breeding, as the amount of pesticide that's need could be dangerous to your pet and to yourself.
Therefore the answer to permanent flea relief is to block entry permanently in order that your pet cannot enter. I'm sorry, but which is the Only answer. In any other case it will be an countless cycle of fleas being killed outside, and being picked up again when your pet goes underneath your house.
