FLEAS
The most common species of fleas inside and outside buildings is the cat flea. This flea feeds on cats, dogs and humans as well as rodents, chickens, squirrels and other animals. The dog flea and the human flea are less commonly encountered in Cape Town.
Female fleas can lay up to 25 eggs a day for up to 2 weeks. The eggs hatch within 2-12 days. Eggs cannot hatch if the temperature is above 35 degrees Celsius. The eggs get laid either on the host or the hosts bed or where they nest. Adults can live for up to 2 months without a meal and when fed can live for up to 8 months. Once a infestation has started it is not easy getting rid of fleas.
