• Can you see fleas crawling on your pet’s coat? They are typically reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Check 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 have a look at your pet’s skin for pleasant black droppings which looks like ground black pepper – utilise a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to look small, black specks.
• If there is a flea dirt on pet bedding carpets or rugs, there’s a risk that your pet is undergoing flea feeding.

Problems With Fleas?

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

Fleas are a common hassle in Australian Homes, particularly those with pets. You may additionally discover a hassle with fleas, even should you not have pets if previous owners of your home had cats or dogs. Fleas can also be carried on various (particularly dairy) animals like rats, rabbits, mice and livestock such as pigs.

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 every day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, 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 whole 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 severe threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here are our sure ways to help you keep a flea-free house:

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 such as carpets and rugs. Removing this source of food is a significant 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 regularly 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 talk to your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to take care of your pet.
