How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Fleas are small wingless jumping insect which feeds on the blood of cats or dogs. It sometimes transmits disease through its sting, including plague and myxomatosis. When a flea jumps onto your pet, it will start feeding within 5 minutes and may suck blood for up to 2 and 1/2 hours. There are tips and observation we should do on how to identify signs if your pet undergoing suffering from fleas and how to eliminate these. Here are a couple of ways to check if you have fleas in home or your pets have one:

• They are normally reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• 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 which are targeted in which you might see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully look at 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 is flea dirt on pet bedding, carpets or rugs.

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

Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are cute, they can bring very trouble most notably when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures unknowingly inside their houses. After this pest gets inside, they start to nestle and strain, infesting more than one area of your house and impose health risk to household members and pets.

Fleas are a common problem in Australian homes, especially those with pets. You may discover a problem with fleas even if you do not have pets, if previous owners of your property kept cats or dogs. Fleas may also be carried on other (especially hairy) creatures like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs.

As parasites, the greatest concern about the presence of fleas in your house or business comes from their bites. 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 every 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 whole property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and flooring. Larvae often lurk deep within the carpet fabric or inconvenient hardwood floor crevices. It’s not easy 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’s our to-do listing to help you maintain 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 an important step in breaking the flea life cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner really carefully away from the home because the fleas will still be alive.

Groom your pets regularly with a flea comb and wash their beds every 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.
