Fleas & Holidays

Fleas & Holidays are linked and the most demand for flea jobs at PEST UK is when people return from holiday. There are several reasons for this. The first reason is that the flea population is on the increase in the Summer and peaks in the Autumn. In the Summer and Autumn fleas are able to live, feed and breed outside as well as inside. Most cats and some dogs support small populations of fleas at some point during the year. These flea populations are small and are controlled by Frontline, Tigavon or some similar preparations. The fleas are rarely seen and as long as they have access to their food source (the cat or dog) they rarely bother people. The problems begin when the warm weather starts and cats especially spend more time outside. This in itself leads to more calls about flea problems. In the absence of the food source the fleas will feed on people. In fact cats will often avoid a heavily infested rooms or area if they can. In the Summer they have more choices as to where to go. Come holiday time and the same thing happens, the cat is absent the weather is warm so the fleas are active but no food, not even any humans. Fleas can survive up to a year without food so a couple of weeks is easy. When people return from holiday the fleas have a feeding frenzy which leads to the occupiers calling a pest control company.
