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 homes. After this pest gets inside, they start to nestle and breed, infesting more than 1 area of your home and impose health risk to household members and pets.

Fleas are actually 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.

Their presence does not only trigger goosebumps but also the fear of getting bitten by these pestering parasites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an embarrassing itching or reactive rash. Your pets may also develop allergies 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 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 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 for pets and for us not a severe threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here is our to-do listing to help you maintain a flea-free home:

Before you do anything else, vacuum – rugs, furniture, cracks in the floorboards and upholstered furnishings. This will not only eliminate adult fleas but also their eggs and larvae, as well. The larvae feed on adult flea feces and different organic matter, which collects in things like carpets and rugs. Removing this source of food is a crucial step in breaking the flea lifestyle cycle.

Empty your vacuum purifier carefully away from the home because the fleas will nonetheless still be alive.

Groom your pets frequently 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 speak with your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to treat your pet.
