Problems With Fleas?

As adorable and cuddly pets can be, occasionally they can cause quite a bit of trouble without even knowing it. We speak, of course, about fleas. Using your pets as a temporary ride, they will infest your home and reproduce at an astounding rate before you receive your first bite.

Fleas are one of the most common pest problems that Australian houses encounter. Even those without pets can still experience pest infestation especially if previous owners of your property kept cats or dogs. Fleas may also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rats, rabbits, 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 getting 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 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 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 list 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 carpeting. Removing this source of food is a significant 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 frequently 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.
