Sometimes, it cannot be prevented that our fur pets can get pests they unknowingly bring inside our home. Once this creepy crawler gets inside, they infest and reproduce at a faster speed and eventually invade our humble abode.

Fleas are one of the most common pest problems that Australian homes encounter. Even people without pets can nevertheless experience pest infestation especially if previous owners of your property kept dogs or cats. 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.

The main meal of fleas is usually blood from mammals. Adult fleas feed on blood and can drink 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 see 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 inside the carpet fabric or inconvenient hardwood floor crevices. It’s not easy to dismiss fleas. Mostly, we see the tiny bloodsuckers as a nuisance for pets and for us not a serious threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Before you do anything else, vacuum – carpets, furniture, cracks in the floorboards and upholstered furnishings. This will not only eliminate adult fleas but additionally their eggs and larvae, also. The larvae feed on adult flea feces and different organic matter, which collects in things like carpets and rugs. Removing this source of food is a crucial step in breaking the flea lifestyle cycle.

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