How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

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

• They are normally reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Assess 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 look at your pet’s skin for fine black droppings which looks like 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.

Actually, there are many ways you can get rid of fleas once you catch sight of them. However, if they keep coming back, then that is an indication 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.

They understand the habits of different flea species and can offer the most suitable and effective solution for your specific flea issue.

Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are cute, they can bring quite 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 1 area of your house and impose health risk to household members and pets.

Fleas are one of the most common pest problems that Australian homes encounter. Even those without pets can nevertheless experience pest infestation particularly if previous owners of your property kept cats or dogs. Fleas may also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as cows. With or without pets, everyone is vulnerable on the disturbance caused by fleas.

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 result in skin allergies and swelling. Fleas bite can also transmit a surprising number of diseases because of the bacterial component they take. 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 premises. 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 for pets and for us not a serious threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here are our sure ways to help you keep a flea-free house:

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 rugs. Eliminating this source of food is a significant step in breaking the flea life cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner really 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.
