How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog appears to be in some distress and is continually scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin infection or could it be fleas feeding? But what do fleas look like? Before you take your pet to the vet, there are a couple of ways to check if you have fleas in the house:

• It’s a flea when you see a reddish-brown and about 2mm long crawling in your pet’s coat.
• Check the hindquarters of your puppy or the head and neck of your cat. These are the areas that are targeted and where you could see signs of flea activity.
• Also, in a careful manner, look in your pet’s skin for fine black shedding. This looks like ground black pepper. Moreover, you may use a flea comb over a sheet of white paper to see small, black specks.
• There’s flea dirt on pet bedding, carpets or rugs.

There are numerous reasons you can do to take away fleas in case you spot the issue early enough.

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

Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are cute, they can bring very trouble most especially when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures kindly within their homes. After this pest gets inside, they begin to nestle and breed, infesting more than 1 area of your home and impose health risk to family members and pets.

Fleas are in fact a common pest problem in Australian homes. Even those with pets, homeowners can still experience the aggravation of these pests. It is not only our dogs and cats that can harbor fleas but also other hairy creatures like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs.

Their existence does not only trigger goosebumps but also the fear of getting bitten by these pestering parasites. 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.

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 that 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 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 severe threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here is our to-do list to help you maintain a flea-free home:

Before you do anything else, vacuum – carpets, furnishings, cracks in the floorboards and upholstered furniture. This will not only get rid of adult fleas but also their eggs and larvae. The larvae feed on adult flea feces and other organic matter, which accumulate 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 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 speak with your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to treat your pet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my household pets be affected by the treatment you use?

Your pet’s safety is extremely important to us. You may rest assured that the constituents active they come in contact with, either when it is still wet or through inhalation or ingesting the substance, is very small.

Will the spray cause harm to humans?

The spray we use is often employed in public areas such as schools and hospitals and has no adverse effects to human beings.

What do I do if I accidentally touch any of the areas that have been treated with a spray?

It’s only a concern if the sprayed areas are still wet. Should this happen, wash with soap and lots of water as soon as you can. After a brief period duration, your water carrier tap water has gone out of the water and will not cause any harm to you should you come into contact with the area.
