Fleas...
One female flea can lay up to 18 eggs a day. At that rate, it would only take 20 fleas on a dog to produce 360 eggs per day and over 2000 in one week !!! The flea population is typically made up of 50% eggs, 30% larvae, 15% pupae, and only 5% biting adults. Most fleas survive the winter in the larval and pupal stage and grow best during warm moist winters and springs.
Ticks...
Ticks are a major safety issue !!! They are also considered to be superior carriers of disease. They are small, stealthy and often go unnoticed until it is to late. While they do not jump or fly, their natural environment allows them perfect access to their prey. They drop from trees and hide in grass waiting for deer, dogs and humans to come close enough to latch onto. Ticks can go as long as 200 days without food or water and can live as long as 2 years.
