\"\"<\/a>The chilly winter weather is settling in but New Jersey pest control<\/a> professionals say that some types of bloodsuckers are still alive and well in your garden areas.\u00a0 Fleas are a parasitic insect that can infest wild animals that frequent your yard.\u00a0 They can easily spread from dogs and cats to their human handlers, especially when an animal shares the home.<\/p>\n

Fleas<\/a> have been bugging humans and animals for millions of years.\u00a0 Fleas crawl, jump, and bite their victims.\u00a0 Once bitten, either human or pet, will experience extreme itching.\u00a0 The itching will often lead to sores, open wounds, and secondary infections.<\/p>\n

Indoors, these tiny bloodsucking pests live on pets, in carpets and in furniture. Like bed bugs, fleas are hitchhikers.\u00a0 Unlike bed bugs, which dine on their victims and scurry off to digest their blood meal, a flea tends to hang on to their blood host for a period of time.\u00a0 Because a flea hops from host to host feeding on a variety of different warm blooded mammals, humans and pets are susceptible to flea borne diseases.\u00a0 Case in point\u2026image being bitten by a flea that has fed off of a rat.\u00a0 If that rat has a disease, the flea could spread the same disease to you!<\/p>\n

The most common flea infestation is caused by the cat flea.\u00a0 Not picky about whom it feeds upon, cat fleas, which incidentally are not picky about whom they nibble on, are capable of jumping 14 to 16 inches to reach their intended victim.\u00a0 Female fleas are capable of laying 50 eggs each day after she has a blood meal so it\u2019s easy to see how a flea infestation can quickly get out-of-control.<\/p>\n

New Jersey pest control<\/a> experts recommend that residents take preventative measures to keep fleas out of their homes by having a Home Pest Protection service plan by a licensed pest control technician.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
