Problems With Fleas?

As cuddly and lovable pets may be, occasionally they can cause quite a tad bit trouble without you even knowing it. We certainly 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 initial bite.

Fleas are in fact a common pest issue 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 rats, rabbits, mice and livestock such as pigs.

As parasites, the greatest concern about the presence of fleas in your home or business comes from their bites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an uncomfortable itch 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 per day. Their larvae feed from human or pet dandruff, discarded hair, skin, and any other organic debris they can find in your property. You may often find fleas comfortably snuggled in your pet’s fur. Their eggs may also spread throughout your entire property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and flooring. Larvae often lurk deep inside the carpet fabric or in convenient hardwood floor crevices.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here is our to-do list to help you keep 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 adult flea feces and other organic matter, which collect in matters like carpets and rugs. 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 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 speak with your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to treat your pet.
