The intentionâof the city, the architect, and Rooftopâs partnersâhas always been to open a chef-driven restaurant. But when the sun sinks and the roof retracts, a thirsty public has other ideas. A rapprochement is in the offing, but itâs clear that fun diningânot fine diningâwill be as formal as Rooftop ever gets.
Before becoming adult fleas, the larvae transform into pupae within a silk-like cocoon. Pupae remain inside the cocoon for 2 to 4 weeks, sometimes longer. The cocoon is resistant to insecticides and this is why some adult fleas are seen for an extended period, even after the home and pet are treated.
Completely developed adult fleas can live for several months without eating, as long as they do not emerge from their cacoons. Newly emerged adult fleas live only about one week if a blood meal is not obtained. Optimum temperatures for the flea's life cycle are 70Â°F to 85Â°F and optimum humidity is 70 percent. Breaking the cycle with an Insect Growth Regulator , not just killing the few adults is the secret to flea control.
