How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog looks to be in some discomfort and is continually scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin disease or could it be fleas feeding? But what do fleas look like? Before you take your pet to the vet, there are a couple of ways to check if you have fleas in the home:

• It is a flea when you see a reddish-brown and about 2mm long crawling on your pet’s coat.
• Next, check the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat since mostly that part is the flea’s favourite feeding and these are the regions that are targeted in which you might see signs of flea activity.
• Check the hindquarters of your puppy or the head and neck of your cat. These are the areas that are targeted and where you could see signs of flea activity.
• If there is a flea dirt on pet bedding carpets or rugs, there’s a risk that your pet is undergoing flea feeding.

The soonest you spot the infestation, the better you can eliminate these nasty fleas. Our certified technicians know just what to do when it comes to getting rid of fleas and they have a maintenance solution to make the fleas not able to come back again.

They understand the habits of different flea species and can provide the most suitable and effective solution for your particular flea issue.

Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are cute, they can bring very trouble most notably when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures unknowingly inside their homes. Once this pest gets inside, they begin to nestle and breed, infesting more than one area of your home and impose health risk to family members and pets.

Fleas are one of the most common pest problems that Australian houses encounter. Even those without pets can still experience pest infestation especially when previous owners of your property kept dogs or cats. Fleas can also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rats, rabbits, mice and livestock such as pigs. With or without pets, everyone is vulnerable to the disturbance caused by fleas.

As parasites, the presence of fleas is not the sole concern but also as their snacks. Although these are not painful, its effects on your skin is going to lead to skin allergies and swelling. Fleas bite can also transmit a surprising number of ailments because of the bacterial component they take. These diseases might affect both your pet’s health and even yourself.

Adult fleas feed on mammal blood and can beverage 15 times their own weight per day. Their larvae feed from pet or human dandruff, discarded hair, skin, and some other organic debris that they can find in your property. You may often find fleas comfortably snuggled in your pet’s fur. Their eggs may also spread throughout your entire property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and flooring. Larvae often lurk deep within the carpet fabric or in handy hardwood floor crevices.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here is our to-do list to help you keep a flea-free home:

Before you do anything else, vacuum – carpets, furnishings, cracks in the floorboards and upholstered furniture. This will not only eliminate adult fleas, but also their eggs and larvae. The larvae feed on adult flea feces and other organic matter, which collect in things like carpets and rugs. Eliminating this source of food is a significant step in breaking the flea life cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner very carefully away from the house because the fleas will still be alive.

Groom your pets regularly with a flea comb and wash their beds weekly (ideally at 50°c or above).

If your pet is scratching or biting its fur you should talk to your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to treat your pet.
