Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and some other organic debris they could find in your home. You will regularly find fleas simply snuggled on your pet’s fur. Their eggs can also unfold in your entire property, infesting your bedding, furnishings, and flooring. Larvae frequently lurk deep inside the carpet material or in a convenient 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 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 such as carpets and rugs. Eliminating this source of food is a significant step in breaking the flea life cycle.

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

Groom your pets frequently 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 take care of your pet.
