How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog appears to be in a few pains and is constantly scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin disease or should it be fleas feeding? But what do fleas appear like? Before you are taking your pet to the vet, there are a few approaches to test if you have fleas within the home:

• It’s a flea when you see a reddish-brown and about 2mm long crawling on your pet’s coat.
• Next, check the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat because largely that part is the flea favourite feeding and these are the regions that are targeted where you might see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully have a look at your pet’s skin for pleasant black droppings which resembles ground black pepper – use a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to seem small, black specks.
• If there is a flea dirt on pet bedding carpets or rugs, there’s a risk that your pet is experiencing flea feeding.

In fact, there are many ways you can get rid of fleas as soon as you catch sight of them. But if they keep coming back, then that is a sign you have to completely remove them through pet control services. Our certified technicians know exactly what to do when it comes to getting rid of fleas.

Problems With Fleas?

As cuddly and adorable pets may be, sometimes they can cause quite a bit of trouble without you even knowing it. We refer to fleas. Using your pets as a temporary ride they will infest your own house and reproduce in an astounding amount before you get your initial bite.

Fleas are a common hassle in Australian Homes, particularly those with pets. You may additionally discover a hassle with fleas, even should you not have pets if previous owners of your home had cats or dogs. Fleas can also be carried on various (particularly dairy) animals like rats, rabbits, mice and livestock such as cows.

As parasites, the presence of fleas is not the sole concern but also as their snacks. Although these are not painful, its effects on your skin will lead to skin allergies and swelling. Fleas bite may also transmit a surprising number of diseases because of the bacterial component they carry. These diseases might affect both your pet’s health as well as yourself.

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 find in your property. 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 within 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 serious threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here’s our to-do list 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 eliminate 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 regularly 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 talk to your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to take care of your pet.
