• Can you spot fleas crawling to your pet’s coat? They are commonly reddish-brown and approximately 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.
• Carefully take a look at your pet’s skin for pleasant black droppings which resembles ground black pepper – utilise a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to seem small, black specks.
• If there is a flea dirt on pet bedding carpets or rugs, there is a possibility that your pet is experiencing flea feeding.

Problems With Fleas?

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

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

As parasites, the presence of fleas is not the sole concern but as well as their bites. Although these are not painful, its effects on your skin is going to lead to skin allergies and swelling. Fleas bite may also transmit a surprising number of diseases because of the bacterial component they carry. These diseases might affect both your pet’s health and even yourself.

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 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 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 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 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 accumulate 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 really carefully away from the house 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.
