Fleas are among the most common pest problems that Australian homes encounter.

Fleas may also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs. With or without pets, everyone is vulnerable to the disturbance caused by fleas.

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