• Assess the hindquarters of your puppy or the head and neck of your cat. These are the regions that are targeted and where you could see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully examine your pet’s skin for fine black droppings which looks like 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’s a possibility that your pet is undergoing flea feeding.

Problems With Fleas?

As adorable and cuddly pets can be, sometimes they can cause quite a bit of trouble without even being aware of it. We talk, of course, about fleas. Using your pets as a temporary ride, they will infest your house and reproduce in an astounding rate before you even receive your first bite.

Fleas are a common problem in Australian homes, particularly those with pets. You may discover a problem with fleas even if you do not have pets, if previous owners of your house kept cats or dogs. Fleas may also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as cows.

As parasites, the presence of fleas is not the sole concern but as well 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 as well as yourself.

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 that 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 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 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 accumulate 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 very carefully away from the house because the fleas will still be alive.

Groom your pets frequently with a flea comb and wash their beds every week (preferably at 50°c or above).

If your pet is scratching or biting its fur you ought to talk for your vet. They can propose the best flea sprays or powders to use to take care of your pet.
