Problems With Fleas?

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

Fleas are among the most common pest problems that Australian homes encounter. Even those without pets can still experience pest infestation especially if previous owners of your house Kept cats or dogs. Fleas may also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rats, rabbits, mice and livestock such as cows. With or without pets, everyone is vulnerable on the disturbance caused by fleas.

As parasites, the greatest concern about the presence of fleas in your house or business comes from their bites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an uncomfortable itch or reactive rash. Your pets could also develop allergies to the flea saliva.

Adult fleas feed on mammal blood and can drink 15 instances their own weight each day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and some other organic debris that they could find in your dwelling. You will regularly find fleas simply snuggled on your pet’s fur. Their eggs can also unfold in your whole property, infesting your bedding, furnishings, and floors. Larvae frequently lurk deep inside the carpeting material or in a handy 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 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 carpeting. Removing this source of food is an important step in breaking the flea life cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner very carefully away from the home 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 take care of your pet.
