Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are adorable, they can bring quite trouble most notably when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures unknowingly inside their homes. After this pest gets inside, they start to nestle and breed, infesting more than 1 area of your home and impose health risk to household members and pets.

Fleas are in fact a common pest problem in Australian homes. Even those without pets, homeowners can still experience the aggravation of these pests. It’s not only our cats and dogs that can harbor fleas but also other hairy animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs.

Their existence 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 embarrassing itching or reactive rash. Your pets may also develop allergies to the flea saliva.

Adult fleas feed on mammal blood and can drink 15 times their own weight per day. Their larvae feed from human or pet dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and some other organic debris that they can find in your property. You may often find fleas comfortably snuggled in your pet’s fur. Their eggs may also spread throughout your entire property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and floors. Larvae often lurk deep within the carpet fabric or in convenient hardwood flooring crevices.

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 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. 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 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 treat your pet.
