How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog appears to be in a few pains and is continually scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin infection or should it be fleas feeding? But what do fleas appear like? Before you are taking your pet to the vet, there are a few approaches to check if you have fleas within the home:

• 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 regions that are targeted and where you could see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully look at 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 experiencing flea feeding.

There are numerous reasons you can do to take away fleas in case you spot the problem early enough.

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

Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are adorable, they can bring quite trouble most especially when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures unknowingly inside their houses. After this pest gets inside, they begin to nestle and breed, infesting more than one area of your home and impose health risk to family members and pets.

Fleas are actually a common pest problem in Australian homes. Even those with pets, homeowners can still experience the aggravation of these pests. It is not only our dogs and cats that can harbor fleas but also other hairy animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs.

As parasites, the largest issue with regard to the existence 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 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 consume 15 times their own weight per day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris they can see in your premises. You will often find fleas comfortably snuggled in your pet’s fur. Their eggs can also spread throughout your whole property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and flooring. Larvae often lurk deep within the carpet fabric or inconvenient hardwood floor crevices. It’s not easy to dismiss fleas. Mostly, we see the tiny bloodsuckers as a nuisance for pets and for us not a severe 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 environment and out-of-reach areas – 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 matters 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 regularly 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 treat your pet.
