How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog appears to be in a couple of pains and is continually scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin infection or should it be fleas feeding? But what do fleas appear like? Before you’re taking your pet to the vet, there are a couple of approaches to test if you have fleas within the home:

• They are normally reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Check the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat. These are the regions that are targeted and where you might see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully have a look at your pet’s skin for pleasant black droppings which looks like ground black pepper – utilise a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to seem small, black specks.
• There’s flea dirt on pet bedding, carpets or rugs.

There are many reasons you can do to take away fleas in case you spot the issue early enough.

When the fleas keep returning back, or you need to make sure there is complete removal, just get in contact with our experts. Our certified technicians identify exactly what to do in terms of eliminating fleas. They know various flea species and can provide the best suitable and powerful solution on your specific flea problem.

Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are cute, they can bring very trouble most especially when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures kindly within their houses. After this pest gets inside, they start to nestle and strain, 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 people without pets can nevertheless experience pest infestation particularly if previous owners of your house kept dogs or cats. Fleas can also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as cows. With or without pets, everyone is vulnerable on the disturbance caused by fleas.

As parasites, the biggest issue with regard to the presence of fleas in your own home or business comes from their bites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an embarrassing itch or reactive rash. Your pets may also develop hypersensitive reactions to the flea saliva.

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 find in your premises. You will often find fleas comfortably snuggled in your pet’s fur. Their eggs can also spread throughout your entire property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and flooring. Larvae often lurk deep within the carpet fabric or inconvenient hardwood floor crevices. It’s not easy to dismiss fleas. Mostly, we see the tiny bloodsuckers as a nuisance for pets and for us not a severe threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here are our certain ways to help you keep a flea-free home:

Vacuum your environment and out-of-reach areas – rugs, 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 matters like carpets and rugs. Removing 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 alive.

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 talk to your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to treat your pet.
