Fleas are small wingless jumping insect which feeds on the blood of dogs or cats. It sometimes transmits disease through its sting, including plague and myxomatosis. If a flea jumps onto your pet, it will start feeding within 5 minutes and may suck blood for up to 2 and 1/2 hours. There are tips and monitoring we ought to do on how to identify signs if your pet undergoing suffering from fleas and how to eliminate these. Here are a couple of ways to check if you have fleas at home or your pets have one:

• It is a flea when you see a reddish-brown and about 2mm long crawling in your pet’s coat.
• Assess the hindquarters of your puppy or the head and neck of your cat. These are the regions that are targeted and where you might see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully have a look at your pet’s skin for fine black droppings which looks like ground black pepper – utilise a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to look small, black specks.
• There’s flea dirt on pet bedding, carpets or rugs.

In fact, there are many ways you can get rid of fleas once 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.

They understand the customs of different flea species and can provide the most appropriate and effective solution for your specific flea issue.

Problems With Fleas?

As cuddly and adorable pets can be, sometimes they can cause quite a bit of trouble without even knowing it. We talk, of course, about fleas. Together with your pets as a temporary ride, they will infest your home and reproduce in 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 don’t have pets, 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 pigs.

Their existence 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 consume 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 see in your property. 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’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 accumulate in things like carpets and carpeting. Eliminating this source of food is an important 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 weekly (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 treat your pet.
