How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog looks to be in some discomfort and may see them scratching their fur. This occurs if your pets are experiencing fleas infestation. They have these pest buried within their furs. But what do fleas look like? It is better to check your furry friend to the vet; hence, there are a few of the findings you might check if you have fleas in the house:

• It’s a flea when you see a reddish-brown and about 2mm long crawling on 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 might see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully examine your pet’s skin for fine black droppings which resembles ground black pepper – 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.

The soonest you spot the infestation, the better you can eliminate these nasty fleas. Our certified technicians know exactly what to do when it comes to getting rid of fleas and they have a maintenance solution to make the fleas not able to return again.

They understand the customs of different flea species and can provide the most suitable and effective solution for your particular flea issue.

Problems With Fleas?

Having pets in home is definitely fun most especially those with fluffy furs, but occasionally they could bring quite a bit of trouble. How? Well, we’re talking about them getting fleas. Sometimes, it cannot be prevented that our fur pets can acquire pests they unknowingly bring inside our dwelling. After 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 those without pets can still experience pest infestation particularly if previous owners of your house kept cats or dogs. 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 on the disturbance caused by fleas.

Their presence does not only trigger goosebumps but as well 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 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 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 severe threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here is our to-do listing to help you keep 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 rugs. Eliminating this source of food is a significant 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 weekly (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 take care of your pet.
