Get rid of fleas in my yard. They are driving me crazy!

Dec. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- Yes,hanging out the washing can be dangerous! Fleas live on mammals ( a host ), on the hosts bedding and surroundings, in the soil particles on the ground, in any dust in cracks and crevises.

Fleas can jump 200 times their body length. Your ankles are a perfect target.

Many itching bites blamed on mosquitoes, midges and ants are really fleas. Fleas live on any mammal, mainly cats, dogs, rats, mice, rabbits and humans. If your home has a bad flea problem it can be a serious health issue for you.

There are many diseases transmitted by fleas from rats to humans. The adult fleas feed  on the hosts blood (the rat), and then can transmit that blood to humans through their bite. Fleas are prolific breeders and  the female lays her eggs in clumps of twenty on the host. Some eggs fall off the host onto the ground.

The eggs hatch and become larvae then, after some time, it forms a silken cocoon. Vibration ,carbon dioxide and ,or warmth can trigger an adult to emerge from the cocoon in search of a mammal host.  The yard can be a mass of eggs, larvae and adults all at the same time, in their different stages of development.

Once fleas take over the yard an experienced professional should be called to eliminate the infestation http://www.maccotterpestcontrol.com .  DIY treatments have litte or no long term effect on a heavily populated house and yard and only serve to prolong the agony to both yourself and your pets. Some people with sensitive skin can have quite severe reactions to flea bites.
