How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog appears to be in a couple of 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’re taking your pet to the vet, there are a few approaches to check if you have fleas inside the home:

• Can you spot fleas crawling to your pet’s coat? They are commonly reddish-brown and approximately 2mm long.
• Next, check the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat since mostly that part is the flea’s favourite feeding and these are the areas that are targeted in which you might see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully examine 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.
• There’s flea dirt on pet bedding, carpets or rugs.

The soonest you spot the infestation, the better you can get rid of these nasty fleas. Our certified technicians know just what to do when it comes to getting rid of fleas and they have a maintenance solution to make the fleas unable to come back again.

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?

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

Fleas are a common problem in Australian homes, especially those with pets. You will detect a problem with fleas even if you don’t have pets, if previous owners of your house kept cats or dogs. Fleas can also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs.

As parasites, the greatest concern about the existence of fleas in your house or business comes from their snacks. Although these are not painful, they can result in an uncomfortable itch or reactive rash. Your pets could 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 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 serious threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here are our certain ways to help you keep a flea-free house:

Vacuum your surroundings and out-of-reach areas – rugs, furnishings, cracks in the floorboards and upholstered furniture. This will not only eliminate adult fleas but also their eggs and larvae. The larvae feed adult flea feces and other organic matter, which collect in things like carpets and rugs. Removing 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 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 should talk to your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to treat your pet.
