Problems With Fleas?

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

Fleas are a common problem in Australian homes, especially those with pets. You will 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) creatures like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs.

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 and even yourself.

Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris they can find 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 difficult 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

Empty your vacuum cleaner attentively away from the home because the fleas will nonetheless still be alive.

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