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 houses. Once this pest gets inside, they start to nestle and breed, infesting more than 1 area of your house and impose health risk to family members and pets.

Fleas are actually a common pest issue in Australian homes. Even those with pets, homeowners can still experience the nuisance of these pests. It’s not only our cats and dogs that can harbor fleas but also other hairy animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs.

As parasites, the largest issue with regard to the existence of fleas in your own home or business comes from their bites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an embarrassing itch or reactive rash. Your pets may also create hypersensitive reactions 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 every day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris that 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 whole property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and flooring. Larvae often lurk deep inside the carpet fabric or inconvenient hardwood floor crevices. It’s difficult to dismiss fleas. Mostly, we see the tiny bloodsuckers as a nuisance for pets and for us not a severe threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here is our to-do listing 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 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 (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 take care of your pet.
