==Treatment==
Treatment of flea allergic dermatitis is by appropriate flea control.
To implement an effective flea control programme, it is important to understand the flea life cycle. After a flea takes a blood meal from a pet, mating and egg production occurs within two to three days. The small, white eggs produced are laid on the host but fall to the ground where they hatch to larvae. Insect development inhibitors may act on eggs for a period after laying, and insecticides can affect hatchability.
Hatching normally occurs within three weeks pf laying depending on environmental conditions.
