Fleas Are Not Just For Summer

Hello Pet Lovers!

At the time of writing this latest blog, many of us will have had our central heating on for a good few weeks. Did you know though, that it’s not just us humans who like to stay warm and cosy in the winter? Fleas also love it when the central heating kicks in!

It’s a fact that whopping 95% of a flea infestation takes residence within your home, while those pesky fleas on your pets are merely the visible fraction? Although flea activity might diminish during the winter, it never truly comes to a halt—especially when central heating becomes an open invitation for these pests to thrive.

It's a common oversight for many pet owners to diligently treat their furry companions for fleas (more so in the summer),  but overlook the crucial step of treating their homes. However, as soon as the central heating kicks in, it provides the perfect environment for fleas to move in. 

Having fleas doesn't mean an unclean house; rather, it's about understanding the life cycle of these bothersome insects.

The adult fleas lay eggs that scatter far and wide, hatching into larvae, seeking refuge in snug spots such as carpets and furniture and ultimately metamorphosing into pupae. This is a continuous cycle. To effectively rid your home and furry friends of fleas, it is crucial to not only treat your pet for fleas, but to also treat your home. 

So, how do we combat these resilient fleas?
