• 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 could see signs of flea activity.
• In addition, in a careful manner, look in your pet’s skin for nice black dropping. This resembles ground black pepper. Moreover, you may 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.

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

They understand the habits of different flea species and can offer the most appropriate and effective solution for your specific flea issue.

Problems With Fleas?

Having pets at home is definitely fun most especially those with fluffy furs, but occasionally they can bring quite a bit of trouble. How? Well, we’re talking about them getting fleas. Sometimes, it cannot be prevented our fur pets can get pests they unknowingly bring inside our home. After this creepy crawler gets inside, they infest and reproduce at a faster rate and eventually invade our humble abode.

Fleas are in fact 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 presence of fleas is not the only concern but as well as their snacks. Although these are not painful, its effects on your skin is going to lead to skin allergies and swelling. Fleas bite can also transmit a surprising number of ailments due to the bacterial component they take. These diseases might affect both your pet’s health and even yourself.

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 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 serious threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here is our to-do list to help you maintain 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 eliminate adult fleas but also their eggs and larvae. The larvae feed adult flea feces and other organic matter, which collect in things 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 often with a flea comb and wash their beds each 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 take care of your pet.
