How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog appears to be in some distress and is continually scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin infection or could it be fleas feeding? But what do fleas look like? Before you take your pet to the vet, there are a couple of ways to check if you have fleas in the house:

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

There are several things you can do to get rid of fleas if you catch the problem early enough.

If the fleas return, or you want to ensure complete removal, just contact our specialists. Our certified technicians know precisely what to do when it comes to getting rid of fleas. They understand the customs of different flea species and may offer the most appropriate and efficient solution for your specific flea issue.

Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are cute, they can bring quite trouble most notably when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures kindly within their houses. Once this pest gets inside, they begin to nestle and strain, infesting more than one area of your house and impose health risk to family members and pets.

Fleas are among the most common pest problems that Australian houses encounter. Even people without pets can still experience pest infestation especially when previous owners of your house kept cats or dogs. Fleas may also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rats, rabbits, mice and livestock such as pigs. With or without pets, everyone is vulnerable on the disturbance caused by fleas.

As parasites, the largest issue with regard to the presence of fleas in your 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 develop hypersensitive reactions 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 per day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris that they can find 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 inside the carpet fabric or inconvenient hardwood floor crevices. It’s difficult 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 are our sure ways to help you keep a flea-free house:

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 collect in things like carpets and rugs. Eliminating 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 often 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 ought to speak for your vet. They can propose the best flea sprays or powders to use to take care of your pet.

Frequently Asked Questions

My pets in the household will be affected by the treatments you employ?

The security of your pet is a top priority for us. You may rest assured that any active component they may come into contact with, either when it’s still damp or inhaling it or ingestion, is minute.

Does the spray pose problems to humans?

The spray we employ is typically employed in public areas like schools and hospitals and has no adverse effects on humans.

What do I do if I accidently touch any of the areas sprayed?

This will only be a concern if the sprayed areas are still damp. If this happens, wash with soap and plenty of water as fast as you possibly can.
