How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog appears to be in some distress and is constantly scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin disease 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.
• Check the hindquarters of your puppy or the head and neck of your cat. These are the areas that are targeted and 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.
• There is flea dirt on pet bedding, carpets or rugs.

The soonest you spot the infestation, the better you can eliminate these nasty fleas. Our certified technicians know exactly what to do when it comes to getting rid of fleas and they have a maintenance solution to make the fleas not able to return again.

Problems With Fleas?

As cuddly and adorable pets may be, sometimes they can cause quite a bit of trouble without you even knowing it. We refer to fleas. Using your pets as a temporary ride they will infest your own home and reproduce at an astounding amount before you get your first bite.

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

As parasites, the greatest concern about the presence of fleas in your home or business comes from their snacks. Although these are not painful, they can result in an uncomfortable itch or reactive rash. Your pets may 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 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 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 serious 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 – rugs, furniture, cracks in the floorboards and upholstered furnishings. This won’t only eliminate adult fleas but additionally their eggs and larvae, as well. The larvae feed on adult flea feces and different organic thing, which collects in things like carpets and rugs. Removing this source of food is a vital step in breaking the flea lifestyle cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner very carefully away from the house because the fleas will still be alive.

Groom your pets frequently 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 talk to your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to take care of your pet.
