How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog appears 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 home:

• They are typically reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Assess the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat. These are the regions that are targeted and where you could see signs of flea activity.
• Also, in a careful manner, look in your pet’s skin for fine black dropping. This resembles ground black pepper. Moreover, you may 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’s a possibility that your pet is experiencing flea feeding.

The soonest you spot the infestation, the better you can get rid of 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 not able to return again.

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

Problems With Fleas?

As cuddly and adorable pets may be, sometimes they can cause quite a bit of trouble without you even knowing it. We refer to fleas. Using your pets as a temporary ride they will infest your own home and reproduce at an astounding amount before you get your first bite.

Fleas are a common hassle in Australian Homes, particularly those with pets. You may additionally discover a hassle with fleas, even if you do not have pets if previous owners of your house had cats or dogs. Fleas can also be carried on different (particularly dairy) animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs.

Their existence does not only trigger goosebumps but as well the fear of being bitten by these pestering parasites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an uncomfortable itch or reactive rash. Your pets may also develop allergies to the flea saliva.

The main meal of fleas is usually blood from mammals. Adult fleas feed on blood and can consume 15 times their own weight per day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris they can see 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 to pets and for us not a severe threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

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

Vacuum your surroundings 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 adult flea feces and other organic matter, which accumulate in things 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 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 speak with your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to take care of your pet.
