Eliminate fleas: small but dangerous


Certain fleas live with rats and in their nests and play an important role in pest control as they carry the bubonic plague pathogen, the bacteria known as Yersinia pestis. As a rule, public health problems first appear when the rat population is so infested with bacteria that most rodents also die from the disease. Then the fleas have to look for new hosts. Wherever rats and people live together, insects will go looking for humans.
In recent years, this deadly disease has been repeatedly reported by several countries, including India, Tanzania and Madagascar. Areas with high population density are common sources of this health problem. But, the problem is that in reality, we can find highly populated areas all over the world, especially in some limited areas of the US, where squirrels are the host of fleas.

How to eliminate fleas through treatment?

Plague fleas (rat fleas Xenopsylla cheopis and human flea Pulex irritans) live in nests and only look for hosts to bite when they need blood. Fleas also live hidden, in rat nests. This must be taken into account to undertake an effective treatment to eliminate fleas.

What treatments to eliminate fleas existed in the past?

Flea treatments were typically carried out with a DDT powder blown into rat nests. The dust would accumulate in the rats' hair and could eliminate the fleas when they came to eat blood. Insecticide-treated cotton towels were also used. Since rats like to fill their nests with this material, it was particularly effective in eliminating flea larvae.

Flea problems at home? Pets, dogs and cats with fleas?

As blood suckers, fleas can be extremely annoying to both people and our pets. In addition to causing bites, redness and swelling, they are hosts for different species of tapeworms. Many warm-blooded animals have their “own” fleas with high host specificity. As we increasingly like to have our pets at home, the cat flea (Ctenocphalides felis), for example, has become a problem throughout the world. Under the right conditions, a flea infestation can quickly multiply in our homes and apartments and become a problem, which can also lead to high cleaning costs, as well as treatment to eliminate fleas.

Are all home flea treatments the same?

Generally we differentiate between two groups of fleas that require different control methods for their elimination. Cat and dog fleas live only in their fur. Treatment to kill adults and larvae must be parallel. We can protect our pets with anti-flea products or collars. The larvae develop in the resting places of animals and feed on the remains of blood that adult fleas drop while feeding. For this reason, it is important to carry out treatment in pet resting areas to avoid a new flea problem. Fleas (rats, rabbits, man fleas) live in the nests or resting places of warm-blooded animals (or on human clothing) and only jump to the host when they need to draw blood. The larvae develop in animal nests and feed on organic waste there. All infested areas should be treated with larvicidal and adulticidal products.
