Site Navigation
Here we have a magnified image of a flea larvae as it emerges from its egg.
The larvae undergoes three stages of development when it emerges from the egg. They shun light and will seek out the deepest layers of a carpet or shaded areas. The larvae feed on flea faeces and organic debris. Under ideal conditions the larvae will develop in 5 to 11 days, but this could take longer if the conditions are unfavourable.
