How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog looks to be in some distress and is continually 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:

• They are typically reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Check the hindquarters of your puppy or the head and neck of your cat. These are the areas that are targeted and where you could see signs of flea activity.
• 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.
• There is flea dirt on pet bedding, carpets or rugs.

Actually, 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 fully 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?

As cuddly and lovable 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 a common problem in Australian homes, particularly 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.

Their presence does not only trigger goosebumps but as well 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 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 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 collect 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 alive.

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 ought to speak for your vet. They can suggest the best flea sprays or powders to use to take care of your pet.
