Pest Control Exterminators In Manhattan NYC
Fleas and ticks are parasitic pests that feed on your pets. The pets that they feed on is known as their host. The flea is a wingless insect that prefer to dwell in places with warm temperatures. They feed on dogs, cats possums, cayotes, raccoons and foxes. Once they get to feeding on the host, they will stay on that host until the day they die. This is because they have a very short lifespan of a 100 days.
They lay plenty of eggs too as they feed on that host. So, the longer they are on that host, the more eggs they produce and the more fleas there are feeding on one host. Those eggs that are being laid can also spread because the host always deposit them off somewhere by scratching. Not only do they deposit eggs on their host, they also transmit diseases such as tapeworm and bartonellosis. Its hard to spot fleas on a host because they only measure in at 1/16 to 1/8 inchs long but they are easier to kill than ticks.
Ticks on the other hand are arachnids and they are deadlier and harder to kill and get rid of. Bigger than fleas, they measure in at ΒΌ to 1/8 inches long and they can survive in just about any temperature. They have a wider range of hosts than fleas. Their hosts include birds, rodents, snakes, lizards, foxes, deer, squirrels, rabbits, possums, raccoons, cattle, cats, dogs, and humans.
Ticks will feed on a host at a certain stage of its lifespan and then switch to another host at a different stage of its lifespan. Their lifespan can last anywhere from three weeks to three years. They can wait for long periods of time waiting for the right host. Unlike flees, they can lay thousands of eggs and they do it one time after falling off the host. Once they lay the eggs, they die. Ticks transmit deadly diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted fever.
