How to deal with earthen fleas and how can you get them out?

People try to get rid of fleas in different ways - both by using home remedies and using chemicals. But the effect quickly wears off, and the fleas breed again. Why is that?

It’s not just the product that influences the results. It is important to understand the biology of parasites and why they appear.

In this article, we will give advice to homeowners on where to start fighting earth fleas and how to finish it correctly, taking into account all the nuances, in a comprehensive manner. Our recommendations on how to get rid of fleas are as effective as possible; they are used in their practice by experienced exterminators.

Ground fleas and methods of combating them

There are times when fleas appear in old houses or apartments, which cause huge troubles for the owners. They are brought in from entrances, basements and from neighbors. Ground fleas are small bugs from 2 mm, so individual insects are very difficult to detect. When they enter an apartment, they settle in baseboards, upholstered furniture, carpet paths and other places, lay eggs and reproduce. We notice their existence in our home and sound the alarm only after numerous bites, which are quite painful and take much longer to heal than mosquito bites. In addition, earth fleas can be carriers of diseases such as typhoid, plague, hepatitis B and C and many others.

Therefore, for those who have not yet encountered this problem, it is proposed to check and determine whether there are earthen fleas in your apartment. What is the best way to detect them? This can be done using plain white paper, which must be laid out in places most favorable for the existence of fleas. After 15 minutes, carefully examine the sheets. If small dark dots are found on them, which disappear after moving the paper, these are fleas.

Along with earth fleas, there may also be grass fleas in the apartment. This species has nothing to do with those insects that have the status of “warm-blooded”. Like all representatives of this species, they are tiny in size and differ only in color. They do not bite humans and are completely harmless to them. The main food of these fleas is plants. Therefore, you can easily guess that when you get into an apartment, indoor plants become their secluded habitat, which soon die.

How to kill fleas in your home? The first step is to wet clean the apartment with any detergent, wash all things, and preferably boil the bed linen. It is recommended to vacuum carpets, rugs and upholstered furniture, and if you have a steam generator, treat them with it.

The next stage of the fight is to treat the apartment using any flea remedy. This can be either regular Dichlorvos or more professional preparations such as Biorin, Efficient Ultra, Chlorpirimark and others. The packaging should bear the inscription “to combat crawling insects.” Here you can read detailed instructions for using this drug. The resulting solution is carefully treated with the baseboards, floor and walls of the room (1.5 meters from the floor). Any untreated surface gives these small insects a chance to survive.

After treatment, you must close the room for two hours. After which it must be thoroughly ventilated. It is not recommended to clean the treated apartment during the week. This is necessary so that not only earth fleas die, but also their larvae. If after a three-week period the insects have not disappeared, the procedure must be repeated.

When using any flea remedy, you must take maximum precautions: rubber gloves, gauze bandage. When choosing a product, you need to remember that organochlorine compounds can accumulate on the body of people, and this can lead to intoxication of the body. It is better not to use organophosphorus compounds and carbonates in residential areas, as they have a strong toxic effect. Less toxic agents include pyrethrum and pyrethroid.

To expel fleas from an apartment, you can also use folk remedies that are safe for residents. For example, fleas cannot tolerate the smell of herbs such as tansy and wormwood. They can be placed around the apartment in bunches, or you can use an infusion of these herbs for wet cleaning. After some time, all the fleas will leave your apartment on their own.

Bites

The bites of these insects look like a small red spot on the skin, which quickly disappears and leaves no trace. But this is observed only in cases where the insect has not infected a person with an infectious disease. The cause of detection may be not only redness and itching. How dangerous are bites for humans? This question interests almost all people who are faced with this problem. In many cases, swelling, burning and allergic reactions are observed. Sometimes the bites are completely harmless and cause only minor itching.

Photo: Flea bites

Areas of flea exposure to the skin should be treated to prevent infection. Any antiseptic will do for this. It is recommended to use medications only after consultation with a doctor.

Speaking about special drugs, we should mention:

1. Diphenhydramine. Helps get rid of itching and other consequences of flea bites. But this medicine causes drowsiness, so even if it is sold without a prescription, it is better to ask your doctor for advice.
2. Hydroxyzine. The drug is available only by prescription and is used to reduce the level of histamines in the body, which significantly alleviates the condition.

The following are used as folk remedies for treating bites:

• green tea decoction;
• fresh calendula or plantain juice;
• aloe juice

It will not be possible to find exact information about the timing of getting rid of bites, because everything depends on the individual characteristics of the bitten person and the infection caused by the flea.

Cruciferous flea beetle

Every gardener should know everything about this pest and measures to combat the cruciferous flea beetle.
In this article you will learn how to deal with cruciferous flea beetle and see its image in the photo. They are classified as leaf-eating pests. Small jumping beetles (2–3 mm), dark in color. Cruciferous flea beetles are found on the leaves of cabbage, radishes, radishes, turnips and other plants from the cabbage family. They gnaw out small sores, often through them, causing the leaves to dry out and the plants may die, especially at the beginning of emergence or after planting seedlings. Pests are especially dangerous in dry, hot springs.

Beetles overwinter under plant debris in the top layer of soil in gardens, in ditches, under fallen leaves on forest edges, often in cracks in the wooden foundations of greenhouses and in other places. In early spring, flea beetles feed on weeds for the first time after waking up, and after the emergence of cultivated plants or after planting seedlings in the beds, they move on to them. Soon they begin to lay eggs, mainly on the surface of the soil near radishes, turnips, radishes, etc. After some time, larvae appear that live in the soil, where they pupate, and already in July new beetles appear, but they do not cause significant harm to plants. The greatest damage to vegetable crops is caused by beetles of the spring generation, as they damage planted seedlings of vegetable crops.

How to deal with cruciferous flea beetle?

To protect plants from flea beetles, weeds from the cabbage family (wild radish, rapeseed, spring grass, shepherd's purse, etc.) should be destroyed.

Sowing seeds and planting seedlings should be done at an earlier date, and turnips and radishes should be done at a later date, when the number of flea beetles is already beginning to decline - this is one of the main points in the fight against the cruciferous flea beetle. For good rooting and strengthening of plants, the beds can be covered with light film, lutrasil or other non-woven material. Feeding plants with fertilizers accelerates their growth and at the same time reduces the harmfulness of beetles.

The seedlings are pollinated with tobacco dust mixed with fluff lime (1:1) or mixed with ash (1:1). The mixture or individual wood ash must be sifted (i.e., free of large particles), and the plants lightly sprinkled so that the ash sticks to them better. The mixture is applied through a double layer of nylon stocking, due to which it sticks in a thin layer to the moistened leaves and repels fleas for some time. Pollination of plants is periodically repeated 3 to 5 times with an interval of 4–5 days. Below you can see the cruciferous flea beetle in the photo.

The name “ground fleas” is somewhat misleading for the layman. Ground fleas have nothing to do with fleas themselves. In fact, the ground flea is a beetle of the leaf beetle family that lives on plants and feeds on their green parts.

People often mistakenly call completely different insects earth fleas - these are earth fleas themselves and simple fleas. As a result, it is not surprising that there has been real confusion: whether fleas bite humans, whether they are dangerous for people or not, how to get rid of them - few can really say.

Purely systematically, ground fleas are close relatives of ladybugs and the Colorado potato beetle. They have about the same relationship to true fleas as domestic hamsters have to bats.

There are quite a few species of ground fleas, and this entire group of species is called fleas only because they have thickened hind limbs and can jump quite a long distance. In addition, these beetles are also similar in appearance and size to jumping blood-sucking parasites.

It’s worth talking in more detail about what earth fleas look like...

Preventive measures

These simple preventative measures will help prevent fleas from breeding in your home. They are especially relevant for those who have a cat or dog at home:

• carry out serious wet cleaning as often as possible;
• Ventilate the room at least twice a day;
• kill all rodents located near your home and protect the house from them;
• after visiting a basement, river, hunting, etc. Always wash all clothing thoroughly;
• if no measures bring results, it is better to contact the SES.

General view of pests and their photos

If you carefully look at the photo of a ground flea, then in its features you can find all the main signs of the order Coleoptera - beetles in common parlance. Shiny dense wings, antennae, six legs - several thousand other species of beetles look approximately the same:

Below are a few more photos of adult individuals of the common leaf beetle Altica oleracea - one of the most common representatives of the flea beetle group in Russia:

On a note

It was the species presented in the photograph that was considered a serious pest of cabbage, wheat, grapes and beet. However, after detailed research, it turned out that this bug feeds mainly on thistle and shepherd’s purse, and there is no point in getting rid of it, and its close relatives harm agricultural crops.

The color of leaf beetles most often repeats the colors of the leaves of those plants on which adult beetles feed. The lighter the leaves, the lighter the color of the beetles, up to straw or turquoise. And, on the contrary, there are black species of leaf beetles.

Among these earthen fleas there are also their own stars, with bizarre and variegated colors. For example, the photo below shows two types of fleas, which have several very contrasting colors:

A characteristic feature of these beetles, which distinguishes them from other fellows, is the enlarged first segments (“hips”) of the hind legs. It is due to them that fleas can jump. Not as far, of course, as real fleas, but still enough to escape from many predators.

This is interesting

Not all earth fleas have such jumping hips - there are also simple bugs that can only crawl and fly. However, they also belong to this subfamily. For example, the photo below shows a very famous bug, mistakenly called a firefly by children. He is also an earth flea.

It is not so easy to see the leaf beetle on a plant: the bug jumps so quickly that the eye does not have time to notice it and it seems that the insect has simply disappeared.

Earth fleas differ from ordinary fleas in the following characteristics:

• color - ordinary fleas are brown or black
• habitats - leaf beetles cannot be found on animal fur
• size - leaf beetles are usually larger than ordinary fleas.

In general, the entire group of leaf beetles is quite numerous, and it contains beetles that are very different from each other. However, the average size of representatives of this subfamily is 3-4 mm, and it is extremely difficult to discern the differences between some types of fleas with the naked eye.

But the lifestyle of all species of this subfamily is quite similar.

What they look like

These insects have a small, laterally flattened body, reaching a length of no more than half a centimeter. This helps them move unhindered in the fur and feathers of animals and birds. In addition, the body is equipped with numerous spines, which allow the insect to stay on clothing for a long time.

Fleas are equipped with three pairs of legs. The rear ones are used for jumping and are significantly larger in size than the two previous pairs. Because of this structure, the pest calmly moves along the surface of clothing at any angle. Fleas are capable of making long jumps over a distance of more than 30 cm, and a height jump of 20 cm. Due to this, they quickly cover distances many times greater than their body size. Fleas have a type of mouth that biologists define as “piercing-cutting-sucking.”

Lifestyle of earthen fleas, nutrition and reproduction

All ground fleas are herbivorous beetles. Moreover, each species has its own set of food plants on which it prefers to feed. And some are highly specialized stenophages - they feed only on plants of a single species.

Both adult beetles and their larvae feed on plant matter. However, if adult insects damage plant leaves, scraping off the top layer from them and exposing easily damaged soft tissues, then the larvae develop mainly in the surface layer of soil, gnawing thin roots of the same plants.

These bugs got their name because the adults (adults) bury themselves in the ground for wintering. In the spring, when the soil warms up to 12-14°C, the beetles come to the surface en masse, climb onto young plant shoots and begin to feed heavily in preparation for the mating season.

It is during this period that they cause the greatest damage to plants: beetles are very hungry after hibernation, and plant seedlings are very tender. Even minor damage to leaves as the plant grows turns into serious injuries and sometimes into large holes.

In case of mass infestation, flea beetles can cause complete death of seedlings in a certain area.

In some species, the larvae also feed on leaves, completely gnawing off the pulp of the leaf and leaving only a network of veins. And, for example, the larva of the rapeseed flea beetle eats the stem of the plant from the inside.

But in most cases, the larvae of earthen fleas are typical beetle larvae, having dense covers of yellow or red color.

The photo shows a light-legged flea beetle larva:

The female beetle lays several dozen eggs in the soil near the food plant or on its leaves. This happens depending on the region from April to June. A few days later, larvae emerge from the eggs, the development of which continues for 2-4 weeks.

The larvae pupate in the soil, and after another week or two an adult beetle emerges. It is he who then overwinters in the soil in order to give birth to offspring next year.

In the southern regions of our country, as well as in Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Southern Europe, two generations of earthen fleas can develop in one year.

Catnip

Catnip is a herbaceous perennial and has a strong aroma, thanks to which you can save garden crops from harmful insects. This is due to the high content of essential oils. The plant appears to be low-growing, but it is best to plant it along the beds, since the strong aroma attracts cats. Catnip is not only eaten, but also successfully used in folk medicine.

Harm from fleas

Ground fleas, depending on the number, can cause either subtle damage to plant leaves or complete loss of the crop.

These insects are most dangerous in dry weather: through the damage they leave in the leaves, the plant quickly loses moisture and dries out.

Species of ground fleas that gnaw through the stem cause even an adult plant to wilt. Sometimes typical leaf beetles, infecting a plant in large quantities, cause its death.

On a note

Seedlings that are just germinating are very attractive to flea beetles. Therefore, seedlings carefully grown in the house should be especially carefully protected from these pests and treated, if necessary, with appropriate insecticidal agents.

Ground fleas in the house can appear with soil brought from the garden. Sometimes pests come into the home from windows or from new plants. Almost always, earth fleas end up in an apartment by accident, but here they rarely damage ornamental plants. In any case, if a small jumping bug is found on a particular home bush, it is advisable to either destroy it or throw it out the window.

But earth fleas in the basement can get here with vegetables. They can easily be mistakenly confused with ordinary fleas trapped in a dungeon with rats. In any case, earth fleas in the basement will definitely not harm food supplies.

Symptoms of plant damage by leaf beetles are varied:

• large uneven spots on the underside of the leaves - the photo clearly shows a radish leaf damaged by fleas
• holes along the height of the stem
• wilting stems of a seemingly healthy plant
• the beetles themselves, especially clearly visible on the inflorescences of plants of the cruciferous family.

If any of these symptoms are found in the garden or flower garden, you should immediately look for adult beetles or their larvae, and then begin to fight them.

Measures to combat earthen fleas

You can get rid of fleas in the garden using complex methods, including proper crop rotation, weed removal, treating the garden with insecticides and growing special protective plants.

The most effective control of earth fleas will be by applying the following measures:

• constant change of crops in different parts of the garden
• if possible, avoid growing cruciferous vegetables
• abundant watering: fleas love dry places
• planting lettuce between rows of cabbage and radishes - the lettuce itself is rarely damaged by fleas, but with its large leaves it reliably protects neighboring plants from pests

Additionally, proven garden insecticides should be used. Preparations for fleas are generally the same as for the Colorado potato beetle: Antizhuk, Gaucho, Aktara, Regent.

When choosing a remedy for earthen fleas, it is worth remembering what the garden was treated with last year and prefer a different preparation: in this case, even beetles that could be resistant to the insecticide already used will be guaranteed to be destroyed.

There are also folk remedies for fleas. The most famous of them is tansy: a decoction is made from it and the plants on which the beetles were found are sprayed with it.

You can also fight earth fleas with the help of plants that repel them: hemp, anabasis, wormwood, celandine, tobacco. If you completely plant the perimeter of the garden with such plants, you can remove earthen fleas altogether. Some earth fleas are only afraid of certain plants and are not sensitive to others. For example, “potato” fleas are not afraid of tomatoes, while the “beet” flea avoids these plants.

There is no point in fighting earth fleas in the house - they rarely infect plants here in large quantities. The safest thing to do is simply catch the beetles you find and destroy them.

It is worth using special means against them only when young seedlings on the windowsill are affected by a large number of beetles. In this case, they should be poisoned with the usual home remedies for cockroaches: Raptor, Raid, Get, spraying only the bushes with the preparations. All these means will allow you to remove earthen fleas in just a few hours.

Are earth fleas dangerous for humans?

Earth fleas are absolutely not dangerous to humans directly. When they say that ground fleas bite humans, they actually mean ordinary fleas that attack humans near the burrows of wild animals. In this case, the word “ground insects” refers to insects that attack from the ground.

Accordingly, it makes no sense to talk about earth flea bites: these bugs, in principle, cannot bite a person, and therefore you should not be afraid of them. And if suddenly an earth flea is found in the house, you can safely pick it up and simply throw it out the window: this insect is absolutely harmless in a city apartment and usually ends up in it completely by accident.

Development

Adults overwinter in the soil. They emerge from wintering in April–May. With the emergence of seedlings, cultivated cruciferous plants move onto them, skeletonize and gnaw through leaf blades.

Mating period . They mate and lay eggs in May–June. Females lay eggs on the leaves of food plants.

Egg . The embryo develops in 5–11 days.

A few hours after hatching, the larva The mines are visible. Mines of several larvae are often present on one leaf.

Doll . Having finished feeding, the larvae leave the leaves and go into the soil to a depth of 8 cm, where they turn into pupae.

adults spend 2–4 days in the soil, emerge to the surface and feed on plants in the second half of summer. When the temperature drops, they go into the soil for the winter.

Features of development . Mass reproduction of the light-legged flea beetle is observed in the northern, western and some eastern regions of Russia with a humid climate. In the southern regions of its range, the pest occurs in small quantities.

Related species

Phyllotreta undulata

Morphologically related species

In terms of morphology (appearance) of the imago, the flea beetle (Phyllotreta undulata) is close to the described species. The main differences: the forehead with a transverse stripe of dots, the crown without dots, yellow stripes sometimes very thin, almost everywhere of the same width, the pronotum is black, sometimes with a faint metallic tint, slightly smaller in size – 2–2.3 mm.

In addition to the indicated species, Phyllotreta schreineri is often found, also similar in adult morphology to the light-legged flea beetle (Phyllotreta nemorum).

Maliciousness

The light-legged flea beetle is a pest of cruciferous crops. Adults and larvae are harmful. The beetles gnaw the leaves, the larvae feed on the leaf pulp. The vital activity of the pest reduces the qualitative and quantitative indicators of the yield of cruciferous crops.

The economic threshold of harmfulness is established in the following phases:

• when planting seedlings - from three to five beetles per plant when 10% of the plants are colonized;
• formation of whorls of leaves - ten beetles per plant when 25% of the plants are colonized;
• the beginning of head formation - from three to five beetles per plant when more than 50% of the plants are colonized.

Fighting the earthen flea

The ground flea (cruciferous flea beetle) is a small oval-shaped bug with yellow and black stripes on its back. This bug mostly jumps and very rarely crawls. Most of all, radish, radish, rutabaga and cabbage seedlings, mainly those sown late, suffer from it.

We offer several ancient ways to fight fleas:

In the evening, prepare an infusion of ash (1 glass per 10 liters of water) and early in the morning spray the seedlings with it, after first mixing and straining the solution.

Plants are pollinated with wood ash or road dust sifted through a sieve, or a mixture of tobacco dust with ash, or lime (1:1).

After rain, or after dew, when the leaves are still wet, plant seedlings are sprinkled with powdered gypsum. This causes not only fleas to disappear, but also many other insects. Moreover, even a field mouse will not start in the field where plaster is scattered. In addition, gypsum serves as a good soil fertilizer.

On each bed (depending on its length) place 3-4 saucers or plates with a small amount of wooden oil. Within 24 hours, the entire bottom of the plate will be covered with dead insects: they are attracted by the white color of the plate, but are killed by the oil.

A strip of garden watercress is planted along the entire length of the bed. This plant is especially popular among fleas. They cling to it especially diligently in rainy times. While feeding on watercress, fleas do not touch other plants in the garden bed.

The beds prepared for sowing are left alone for 2-3 days, then fresh horse, sheep or goat manure is introduced into them and lightly sprinkled with earth (so that it is covered). Earth fleas will never get close to plants grown in this soil, since they do not tolerate manure.

How to get rid of earthen fleas? What remedies are there? | All the answers are here

How to get rid of earthen fleas if they have settled in your home, and even cause a lot of trouble to all household members: both people and animals?!

What kind of animal is this earthen flea? In order to fully control the situation, you should carefully study your enemy and develop a whole strategy for his destruction. There are many subspecies of these wingless insects that have the ability to jump to a height of up to one meter. Their main food is the blood of animals and humans; subsequently, bite wounds can become inflamed and cause severe itching. For people who are prone to allergies, the consequences can be even more serious, so we will try to find the most effective methods to combat them.

If previously residents of their own homes were familiar with these insects firsthand, thanks to their close proximity to the ground and the presence of basements, in recent years earth fleas have been confidently attacking urban high-rise buildings. If you already have them, first of all you should do a general cleaning of the apartment, clean the carpets and furniture. If possible, it is worthwhile to “fry” carpets, pillows, blankets and mattresses well in the sun. You can treat soft surfaces, animals and floors with Butox-50, acting strictly according to the instructions, since it is poisonous and toxic. Any veterinary clinic may offer you other modern analogues.

But remember, if fleas have infested a multi-story building, then you can only get rid of them by joining forces. In this case, false shame is inappropriate; the problem should be discussed and solved collectively. The most acceptable option would be to contact the local sanitary and epidemiological station so that the entire house can be treated with insecticides.

Habitats

Ground fleas, as the name suggests, live in the ground. The quality of the soil does not matter to them, but in sand and loose soil they are more mobile. For the winter, they burrow to a considerable depth - up to 20 cm, pupate and thus wait out the frosts. When it gets warmer outside, fleas come to the surface; there are especially many of them after rains and with the onset of heat.

Most often they can be found in the basements of apartment and private buildings, industrial or commercial premises. Pests prefer abandoned spaces with unsanitary conditions, but can settle anywhere, even where they keep order. They love warm rooms with high humidity.

Since earth fleas feed on blood, they move around in search of prey. Most often, residents of the first floors of high-rise buildings suffer from them.

How to get rid of earthen fleas in a private house

The algorithm for solving the problem of how to get rid of earth fleas in a private house is somewhat different from overcoming similar difficulties in an apartment high-rise.

If you do have fleas, you shouldn’t blame it on our little brothers. Parasites can enter your home from basements through cracks in floors and walls. And then feel calm in the pile of carpets and soft corners. As for the first sub-item in the strategy of your military operations, here you need to do the same as in the apartment. Namely: thoroughly clean the premises, wash bed linen and bedspreads at high temperature, dry heavier items in the sun. And only after this can you use any aerosol flea remedy. Effective Ultra, Epair, Chlorpirimark and others are suitable. Before purchasing, carefully study the instructions for use in order to purchase the required amount of the drug.

After treating all rooms in the house, it is advisable not to wash the floors for 4-5 days. For what? Modern insecticides are effective enough to kill fleas within 24 hours, but they are absolutely safe for insect eggs. But the hatched individuals, moving on the treated surfaces, also die. Therefore, do not rush to clean up. In a week you will be able to clean everything up and enter a new stage of life without fleas!

Particular attention should be paid to the treatment of basements and utility rooms. Take out all unnecessary rubbish from there, let perfect order reign there. And then treat the space with any insecticidal agent. It is possible that these damp, dark rooms are a breeding ground for parasites.

How to prepare for disinfestation

An apartment, room, house must be prepared for the application of insecticides. Any pests do not like cleanliness and order. First you need to sort out the rubble, take out the trash, remove lying around, vacuum upholstered furniture and carpets. It is advisable to wash or dry-clean textiles. A steam generator can be used to treat non-smooth surfaces. Smooth surfaces should be washed, paying attention to the top panels of cabinets, lamps and other places where dust can accumulate.

Folk remedy for fleas in the house

One of the more environmentally friendly options would be to use any known folk remedy for fleas in the house.

If you have a small child in the house who is just beginning to explore the world and you are afraid to use chemical methods to combat fleas, you can turn to folk remedies that are much safer for people and animals. For example, soda and salt.

Folk remedy No. 1: Mix regular table salt with baking soda in a 1:1 ratio. Sprinkle this mixture around the house, close all windows and doors and disappear for at least a day or two. Returning to your native land, it will be enough to thoroughly vacuum the rooms and wash the floors. In addition, you can scatter bright pillows filled with pine sawdust around the house. Parasites really don't like their smell.

Folk remedy No. 2: Herbal infusion also comes to the rescue. To do this, pour eucalyptus leaves, tansy and wormwood (1:1:2) into a thermos, pour in 300 ml of boiling water and let it brew for a day. Then strain the broth and pour it into a spray bottle, from which you can then treat the house. By the way, on frosty and windy days, ventilate your living space as often as possible. This is both good for health and death for parasites!

What do pests fear most?

There are several proven folk methods to get rid of fleas. What do we have to do:

1. Do wet cleaning as often as possible - always keep the floor clean. This will significantly reduce the number of insects.
2. Ventilate your home a couple of times a day.
3. If possible, remove all lint coverings from the apartment. Or do this only for the duration of cleaning, since it is in carpets and curtains that fleas live.
4. Purchase a special anti-flea product for dogs and cats.

Know ! You cannot use only one method in the fight against fleas. You always need to act comprehensively. Only this approach can guarantee effectiveness
