A female flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day. Dog or cat fleas don't discriminate over their hosts and will contentedly feed off humans. And rats (whistling.gif). Historically, rats (whistling.gif) have been responsible for plague and Typhus. This is an example worth remembering as a small amount of bacteria is retained from the residue of blood from its previous host and transfered to the next host.

 

Then there's Ticks....

 

 

 

Voracious feeders, responsible for the burgeoning spread of the dreadful Lyme disease. Most dog and cat owners are unaware and lax in their attitude toward toward both these parasites. Who rigorously checks their animal every time, after it returns home? I would suggest, not many.

 

Here's a list of the worst diseases/conditions vectored by fleas and ticks....

Both fleas and ticks will live happily in upholstery and carpets.

Tick infestation is a thing that is much more serious over here than it seemed to be on the Island.

 

As for carpets and soft furnishings, it seems as if everyone with a pet that goes outdoors, at least everyone that we know, regularly treat their carpets etc. with a pyrethrum based spray every few weeks.

And of course, landlords and restauranteurs are as discerning as the people you know.....
