A thorough understanding of the flea life-cycle is important in order to be able to advise owners of adequate treatments to control flea infections on their animals and within the home environment.

The time for the egg to develop into the adult flea takes around '''3-4 weeks''' in summer, however, the duration of the life cycle is largely dependent on the environmental temperature.
