How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog looks to be in some distress and is continually scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin infection 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 house:

• Can you see fleas crawling to your pet’s coat? They’re commonly reddish-brown and approximately 2mm long.
• Next, check the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat since largely that part is the flea’s favourite feeding and these are the regions that are targeted where you might see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully look at your pet’s skin for fine black droppings which resembles ground black pepper – use a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to see small, black specks.
• If there is a flea dirt on pet bedding carpets or rugs, there is a possibility that your pet is experiencing flea feeding.

The soonest you spot the infestation, the better you can eliminate these nasty fleas. Our certified technicians know exactly what to do when it comes to getting rid of fleas and they have a maintenance solution to generate the fleas unable to return again.

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

Problems With Fleas?

Having pets in home is surely fun most especially those with fluffy furs, but occasionally they can bring quite a bit of trouble. How? Well, we are talking about them getting fleas. Sometimes, it cannot be prevented that our fur pets can get pests they unknowingly bring inside our dwelling. After this creepy crawler gets inside, they infest and reproduce at a faster speed and eventually invade our humble abode.

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

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

The main meal of fleas is usually blood from mammals. Adult fleas feed on blood and can drink 15 times their own weight every day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris they can see in your property. You will often find fleas comfortably snuggled in your pet’s fur. Their eggs can also spread throughout your whole property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and flooring. Larvae often lurk deep inside the carpet fabric or inconvenient hardwood floor crevices. It’s difficult to dismiss fleas. Mostly, we see the tiny bloodsuckers as a nuisance for pets and for us not a serious threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here’s our to-do listing to help you keep a flea-free home:

Vacuum your environment and out-of-reach areas – carpets, furnishings, cracks in the floorboards and upholstered furniture. This will not only get rid of adult fleas but also their eggs and larvae. The larvae feed on adult flea feces and other organic matter, which collect in matters like carpets and rugs. Eliminating this source of food is an important step in breaking the flea life cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner really carefully away from the house because the fleas will still be living .

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

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