There are tips and monitoring we ought to do on how to identify signs if your pet experiencing discomfort from fleas and how to get rid of these. Here are a couple of ways to check if you have fleas in home or your pets have one:

• Can you see fleas crawling to your pet’s coat? They are commonly reddish-brown and approximately 2mm long.
• Next, check the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat because mostly that part is the flea’s favourite feeding and these are the areas which are targeted where you might see signs of flea activity.

Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are cute, they can bring very trouble most especially 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 one area of your home and impose health risk to family members and pets.

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

Their presence does not only trigger goosebumps but also the fear of getting 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 times their own weight daily. Their larvae feed from pet or human dandruff, discarded hair, skin, and any other organic debris 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 entire property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and floors. Larvae often lurk deep inside the carpet fabric or in convenient hardwood floor crevices.

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 eliminate 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. 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 each 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 treat your pet.
