How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog looks 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:

• They are normally 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 could see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully have a look at your pet’s skin for fine black droppings which resembles ground black pepper – utilise a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to look small, black specks.
• If there is a flea dirt on pet bedding carpets or rugs, there is a possibility that your pet is undergoing flea feeding.

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

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

Problems With Fleas?

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

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

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 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 drink 15 times their own weight per day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris that 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 entire 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 to pets and for us not a serious threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here is our to-do listing 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 accumulate in matters such as carpets and rugs. Eliminating this source of food is a significant step in breaking the flea life cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner very 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 take care of your pet.
