How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog appears to be in some discomfort 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 home:

• Can you see fleas crawling on your pet’s coat? They are typically reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Check the hindquarters of your puppy or the head and neck of your cat. These are the regions that are targeted and where you might see signs of flea activity.
• In addition, in a careful manner, look at your pet’s skin for fine 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’s flea dirt on pet bedding, carpets or rugs.

Actually, there are many ways you can get rid of fleas once you catch sight of them. However, if they keep coming back, then that’s a sign you have to completely remove them through pet control services. Our certified technicians know exactly what to do when it comes to getting rid of fleas.

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?

As cuddly and adorable pets can be, occasionally they can cause quite a lot of trouble without even knowing it. We speak, of course, about fleas. Using your pets as a temporary ride, they will infest your home and reproduce at an astounding rate before you receive your first bite.

Fleas are among the most common pest problems that Australian homes encounter. Even people without pets can still experience pest infestation particularly when previous owners of your house kept dogs or cats. Fleas can 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 biggest 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 uncomfortable itch or reactive rash. Your pets can also develop hypersensitive reactions 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 skin, hair, and some other organic debris that 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 in handy hardwood flooring crevices.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here are our sure ways to help you keep 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 collect in things like carpets and carpeting. Removing this source of food is a significant 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 ought to talk for your vet. They could suggest the best flea sprays or powders to use to deal with your pet.
