The eggs can last for ABOUT A YEAR without a host...any heat or movement near them can make them hatch....they NEED animal blood within 12 hours of hatching, but even though they bite humans, they cannot sustain on human blood. Water is one of the best defenses against adult fleas, bath your pet daily to eliminate the eggs, larvae & adults, spray bottles work well when you find stray fleas on you or your pet. If they cannot lay eggs you will eliminate the population. I have found that there are Flea Traps that entice them to hatch & go to a small light bulb, then are caught on sticky paper..these work GREAT...I keep them in the basement, they make nice pathway light down there & if any eggs were missed, they hatch & go right for them....

about a year

Depending on what the fleas are on they could last from a range of five hours to 10. But in a case if it is on Radya Kumar then they will last for about her whole lifetime

Once an adult flea is deprived of its host, it will basically starve to death. It will generally die in two to 14 days.
