Fleas are very common parasites in the Vancouver area.
Female fleas can lay up to 40 eggs per day. Within 1 to 10 days the eggs hatch into larvae. The larvae feed on organic debris for 5-11 days before forming a cocoon. The cocoon stage protects the flea as it transforms into an adult. It is the insecticide resistance of the pupal stage that has made flea control so difficult in the past.
