• In addition, in a cautious manner, look in your pet’s skin for nice black shedding. This resembles ground black pepper. Moreover, you may use a flea comb over a sheet of white paper to see small, black specks.

Problems With Fleas?

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

Fleas are in fact a common pest problem in Australian homes. Even those without pets, homeowners can still experience the nuisance of these pests. It is not only our dogs and cats that can harbor fleas but also other hairy creatures like rats, rabbits, mice and livestock such as pigs.

As parasites, the presence of fleas is not the sole concern but also as their bites. Although these are not painful, its effects on your skin is going to lead to skin allergies and swelling. Fleas bite may also transmit a surprising number of ailments due to the bacterial component they carry. These diseases might affect both your pet’s health as well as yourself.

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 property. 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 are our sure ways to help you keep a flea-free house:

Vacuum your environment 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 on adult flea feces and other organic matter, which accumulate in things like carpets and rugs. Eliminating this source of food is an important step in breaking the flea life cycle.

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

Groom your pets frequently with a flea comb and wash their beds every 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my pets at home affected by the treatments you employ?

The safety of your pets is very important to us. We can assure you that any active component they might come into contact with, either when it’s still wet or through inhalation or ingesting the substance, is very small.

Can the spray cause any problems to humans?

The spray we apply is usually used in public places such as schools and hospitals and causes no ill effects on humans.

What should I do if I accidently touch any of the areas sprayed?

This is only of concern if the spray areas are still damp. Should this happen, wash with soap and lots of water as quickly as you can. After a brief period duration, your carrier tap water has gone out of the water and will not harm you in any way when you come in contact with the surface.
