Extermination of fleas professional
BLOKHI (Siphonaptera, Suctoria, Aphaniptera), group of insects. About 1000 types. Are most plentiful in tropics, but are usual also in a moderate zone, were noted even in polar regions. Small (length usually less than 0,3 cm), the vtorichnobeskryly, jumping animals. The body is firm, smooth, squeezed from sides, it is covered with the shchetinka directed back, and is frequent also crests from wide cloves (ktenidiya) on the head or a breast. Legs are strong, prygatelny type. Thus, the body is perfectly adapted to a mobile ektoparazitichesky way of life in a hair or peryevy cover of warm-blooded owners or in a vystilka of their nests. Usually fleas meet only on the animals who are growing up posterity in specially prepared place. The oral device rezhushche-kolyushche-sucking. Fleas eat blood. Eyes only simple, often in general are absent. Antennas are short, tripartite; the trailer chlenik called by a mace is longer other, annulate. They can be put in lateral grooves on the head. At some types antennalny furrows are connected from above by a deep crack, and the head seems burst. These insects treat group of razdelnogolovy fleas.
Fossil fleas are found in the Baltic amber and nizhneoligotsenovy deposits about Eks (France). For a collecting and studying of these animals fix on subject glasses as it is necessary to consider them under a microscope. The collection of fleas, best in the world, which is stored now in the British museum was collected in Thring (England) by N. Rotshild and K. Jordan.
Life cycle.
Development of fleas happens with full to metamorphoses, i.e. from egg the larva which becomes a doll, and from that hatches, in turn, there is an adult insect (imago). Bloodsuckers are only imagos, and larvae eat excrements of adult fleas and various fossils. They receive the necessary for development turned blood in the form of the undigested particles which are allocated from an imago anus. The flea "shoots" dry, oval, whitish eggs; if it occurs on the owner's body, from there they usually fall in his nest or on the earth. From eggs thin, whitish legless and bezglazy larvae hatch. In the houses occupied by fleas they can be found in cracks of a floor or under carpets. Fleas live in cellars where often there are cats or dogs, among garbage. A cat's, dog and human flea meet on lawns where larvae in the places protected from the sun eat the vegetable or animal remains. Sometimes farmers are very much annoyed by the human fleas in large numbers inhabiting pigsties.
Development of egg continues from two days to two weeks, and a larva - from a week to several months. After that the larva spins around itself a web cocoon in which pupates. The stage of a doll lasts also from a week to several months, and the imago depending on circumstances can remain in a cocoon months, for example in empty houses where the insect comes for hunting, having only reacted to vibration of a floor under legs of the rare visitor.
Imagos of the majority of types lead active lifestyle, with breaks settling on owners. Having got drunk blood, they jump off from an animal therefore they often move from one individual on another. Fleas usually once a day, eat sometimes more often. If the only flea "exasperates" an animal many times in the course of the day, so she is repeatedly disturbed, without allowing to finish the act of a krovososaniye. Without food of a flea there can live several weeks and even months. Fleas are less picky in the choice of owners, than many other parasites. For example, the cat's flea can suck blood of dogs and the person, and human often settles on pigs. However representatives of one family of fleas parasitize only on wing-handed animals, and bird's fleas, as a rule, do not pass to mammals.
The harm done by fleas.
Intensively began to study fleas after it became clear that they can extend plague. Besides, they cause to the person and pets the concern capable to develop into the real illness, serve as intermediate owners of some helminths and have a number of the infections including deadly.
In houses where hold cats or dogs, fleas happens so much that it is almost impossible to live there: stings of these insects strongly disturb most of people. Reaction varies from almost zero to allergic: the bitten place strongly swells up and inflames. Piercing skin, the flea injects saliva which causes an itch or more serious consequences into a wound. The allergy to fleas happens so heavy that the special "flea anti-gene" is developed for its simplification.
The majority of fleas spends much time out of the owner, however at some types the impregnated females take root into his skin. An example - a sandy flea (Tunga penetrans) who can sometimes lead to emergence on a body of the person of the suppurating ulcers. Other look, a flea sticking (Echidnophage gallinacea), forms the whole clusters on the bird's heads or on ears of dogs and cats.
Being intermediate owners of worms, for example a tykvovidny tapeworm, fleas can cause helminthoses in people. Usually this worm lives in a digestive tract of dogs and cats. Its the back (proglottida) filled with segments eggs are allocated in environment with excrements of the owner or independently creep out of an anus and become available to larvae of fleas. From the eggs of worms swallowed by them larvae which then intsistirutsya hatch. These tsist, or Finns, are present at the adult flea leaving a doll. When the dog takes a bite the fleas irritating her, she quite often swallows the whole insects or their part together with Finns, and those develop in her digestive tract in an adult worm. The remains of the cracked infectious fleas can get from a dog muzzle on hands of the person, and from them - into his mouth. Infection with worms will result.
From diseases, except plague, fleas extend, for example, endemichesky sypny typhus.
The word "flea" and its derivatives are included into national names of some jumping insects which belong to absolutely other groups. Examples - earth flea beetles, or bloshak (bugs of family of listoyed), and listobloshka (homopterous). The water flea (water flea) is a small crustacean from group vetvistousy, moving ahead in the thickness to water pushes which remind flea jumps.
