Problems With Fleas?

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

Fleas are in fact a common pest problem in Australian homes. Even those without pets, homeowners can still experience the aggravation of these pests. It is not only our cats and dogs that can harbor fleas but also other hairy creatures like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs.

Their existence does not only trigger goosebumps but also 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.

Adult fleas feed on mammal blood and can drink 15 instances their own weight each day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and a few other organic debris they could find in your home. You will regularly find fleas simply snuggled on your pet’s fur. Their eggs can also unfold in your whole property, infesting your bedding, furnishings, and floors. Larvae frequently lurk deep inside the carpeting material or in a convenient hardwood floor crevices.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here is our to-do listing to help you maintain a flea-free home:

Vacuum your surroundings and out-of-reach areas – 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 matters like carpets and rugs. Eliminating 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 frequently with a flea comb and wash their beds every week (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 take care of your pet.
