How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog seems to be in a couple of pains and is constantly scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin infection or should 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 check if you have fleas inside the home:

• It’s a flea when you see a reddish-brown and about 2mm long crawling on your pet’s coat.
• Next, check the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat since largely that part is the flea’s favourite feeding and these are the areas that are targeted where you might see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully take a look at your pet’s skin for pleasant black droppings which resembles ground black pepper – use a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to look small, black specks.
• If there is a flea dirt on pet bedding carpets or rugs, there’s a risk that your pet is experiencing flea feeding.

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 a sign 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 customs 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 very trouble most notably when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures unknowingly inside their homes. Once this pest gets inside, they begin to nestle and strain, infesting more than 1 area of your home and impose health risk to household members and pets.

Fleas are among the most common pest problems that Australian houses encounter. Even those without pets can still experience pest infestation especially 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 to the disturbance caused by fleas.

As parasites, the greatest concern about the existence of fleas in your house or business comes from their snacks. Although these are not painful, they can result in an uncomfortable itch 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 every day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris that they can see 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 to pets and for us not a severe threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here is our to-do list to help you keep 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. 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 each week (preferably 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.
