How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog looks to be in some distress and is constantly scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin infection or could it be fleas feeding? But what do fleas look like? Before you take your pet to the vet, there are a couple of ways to check if you have fleas in the house:

  • Can you spot fleas crawling to your pet’s coat? They are commonly reddish-brown and approximately 2mm long.
  • Next, check the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat because largely that part is the flea’s favourite feeding and these are the regions that are targeted 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. But if they keep coming back, then that’s an indication 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.

If the fleas keep coming back, or you want to ensure complete elimination, just contact our specialists. 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 may offer the most appropriate and efficient solution for your specific flea issue.

Problems With Fleas?

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

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

As parasites, the largest issue with regard to the existence of fleas in your own home or business comes from their bites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an embarrassing itch or reactive rash. Your pets can also create hypersensitive reactions 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 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 inside 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 listing to help you keep a flea-free home:

Vacuum your surroundings and out-of-reach areas – rugs, 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 collect in matters 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 alive.

Groom your pets regularly 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 treat your pet.

Great company, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and awesome results. Called Andrew and let him know what we were seeing. Andrew was wonderful, helped me determine what type of creepy crawlers we had in our home and was able to get someone out really quick. Adam came out to treat our apartment for cockroaches and from start to finish I was super impressed. Adam was friendly, answered all my questions, and gave me some insight and tips to help with our problem. Local Pest Control is a reliable and effective company who I won’t hesitate to call again! Highly recommend.

Extremely happy with the services provided, we had a very knowledgeable technician Sean came to attend to the possum issue in our townhouse, Sean found the openings where the possums came in on the roof right away and patched them up. When the previous pest control company failed to do. But being a two level building with a separated garage roof, it was very difficult to trap the possums still inside, but Andrew the boss and Sean kept trying and finally got the problem all solved. Friendly to talk to and easy to work with so Highly recommended.
