Problems With Fleas?

As adorable and cuddly pets can be, occasionally they can cause quite a lot of trouble without even knowing it. We speak, of course, about fleas. Using your pets as a temporary ride, they will infest your house and reproduce at an astounding rate before you receive your first bite.

Fleas are one of the most common pest problems that Australian homes encounter. Even people without pets can still experience pest infestation especially if previous owners of your house kept dogs or cats. Fleas can also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as cows. With or without pets, everyone is vulnerable on the disturbance caused by fleas.

Their presence does not only trigger goosebumps but also the fear of being bitten by these pestering parasites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an uncomfortable itch or reactive rash. Your pets may 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 every 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 inside 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 is our to-do list to help you maintain a flea-free home:

Vacuum your surroundings 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 matters like carpets and rugs. Removing this source of food is an important step in breaking the flea life cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner very carefully away from the home because the fleas will still be living .

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

If your pet is scratching or biting its fur you ought to talk for your vet. They could suggest the best flea sprays or powders to use to deal with your pet.
