Where there's a flea, an infestation could quickly follow
Just killing the fleas on your pets is not enough; 95% of the flea life cycle takes place in your pet’s bedding and home surroundings such as carpets, soft furnishings, etc.
To prevent re-infestation, you must break the life cycle. Johnson’s produce a range of effective flea control products, including household treatments, some containing IGR (Insect Growth Regulators) which help to prevent flea eggs hatching.
The Flea ProblemFleas are small, brown, mobile insects which bite the skin and suck blood. They breed rapidly, often unnoticed and can quickly cause a major problem for pets. They can infest your home and will feed on humans. | Fleas & Your PetDogs and cats usually become infested from contact with other animals, including wildlife such as birds, rodents etc., particularly during summer and autumn months. Prompt treatment is necessary, as flea bites cause severe irritation and pets often become allergic to flea saliva, leading to inflamed skin, sores and loss of coat. | Signs of Flea InfestationConstant scratching or biting of coat, twitching of back muscles, also skin and coat problems. Fleas and ‘flea dirt’ (tiny black droppings) may be seen when the coat is examined closely or combed out over damp paper, when a small reddish circle will form around the black spots. Flea bites on humans can be seen as small red spots up to 2.5cm (1 inch) apart. |
Fleas in Your HomeFleas feed on dogs and cats, but spend most of their life cycle in pet bedding, carpets, rugs, furnishings, etc. A serious infestation can quickly occur in summer months and even in winter, in warm homes with central heating and fitted carpets. | WormsFleas are carriers of tapeworm eggs and are a major cause of worm infestation in dogs and cats. | Life Cycle of the FleaIn warm conditions, the cycle can be completed in only 3 weeks, but may take up to 1 year or more. To prevent re-infestation, it is necessary to break the life cycle.
