Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are cute, they can bring very trouble most notably when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures unknowingly inside their homes. After this pest gets inside, they start to nestle and breed, infesting more than one area of your home and impose health risk to household members and pets.

Fleas are a common problem in Australian homes, particularly those with pets. You may detect 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 largest 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 uncomfortable itch or reactive rash. Your pets can also create hypersensitive reactions to the flea saliva.

Adult fleas feed on mammal blood and can drink 15 times their own weight daily. Their larvae feed from pet or human dandruff, discarded hair, skin, and any other organic debris they can find in your property. 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 floors. Larvae often lurk deep inside the carpet fabric or in handy hardwood flooring crevices.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here’s our to-do list to help you maintain 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 things 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 home because the fleas will still be living .

Groom your pets frequently with a flea comb and wash their beds every 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.
