How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog seems to be in a few pains and is constantly scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin disease or should it be fleas feeding? But what do fleas appear like? Before you’re taking your pet to the vet, there are a few approaches to check if you have fleas within the home:

• Can you see fleas crawling to your pet’s coat? They are commonly reddish-brown and approximately 2mm long.
• Assess the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat. These are the areas that are targeted and where you could see signs of flea activity.
• Check the hindquarters of your puppy or the head and neck of your cat. These are the areas that are targeted and where you might see signs of flea activity.
• If there is a flea dirt on pet bedding carpets or rugs, there is a possibility that your pet is experiencing flea feeding.

The soonest you spot the infestation, the better you can eliminate 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 make the fleas unable to come back again.

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

Problems With Fleas?

Having pets in home is definitely fun most especially those with fluffy furs, but occasionally they can bring quite a bit of trouble. How? Well, we are talking about them getting fleas. Sometimes, it cannot be prevented that our fur pets can get pests they unknowingly bring inside our dwelling. Once this creepy crawler gets inside, they infest and reproduce at a faster rate and eventually invade our humble abode.

Fleas are in fact a common pest issue in Australian homes. Even those without pets, homeowners can still experience the nuisance of these pests. It is not only our cats and dogs that can harbor fleas but also other hairy animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs.

As parasites, the presence of fleas is not the sole concern but also as their bites. Although these are not painful, its effects on your skin is going to result in skin allergies and swelling. Fleas bite may also transmit a surprising number of diseases due to the bacterial component they carry. 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 drink 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 serious threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here is our to-do list to help you keep 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 house 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 talk to your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to take care of your pet.
