Pupa can remain dormant in excess of months if temperature and food is not favourable.<\/p>\n<p>Adult fleas emerge from the pupa in response to vibrations made by a host. Adult fleas live exclusively as parasites of warm-blooded animals, especially mammals, although birds may also be attacked. Whilst they show a certain degree of host preference, fleas are by no means specific and will feed on other animals in the absence of the normal host.<\/p>\n<h2>Control of Fleas<\/h2>\n<p>Successful control of fleas requires an extensive and thorough treatment by a professional pest control company. To eradicate this pest requires a close understanding of its biology, lifestyle and habits. Integrated Pest Management has that expertise and years of practical field experience.
