How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog looks to be in some distress and is continually scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin infection 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 typically reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Check the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat. These are the regions that are targeted and where you could see signs of flea activity.
• Also, in a careful manner, look at your pet’s skin for nice black shedding. This resembles ground black pepper. Furthermore, you may 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.

There are many 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 appropriate and effective solution for your particular flea issue.

Problems With Fleas?

As adorable and cuddly pets can be, sometimes they can cause quite a bit of trouble without even knowing it. We speak, of course, about fleas. Together with your pets as a temporary ride, they will infest your home and reproduce in an astounding rate before you receive your first bite.

Fleas are a common problem in Australian homes, especially those with pets. You may discover a problem with fleas even if you do not have pets, if previous owners of your property 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 presence 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 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 entire property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and flooring. Larvae often lurk deep inside 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 severe threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here is our to-do list 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 get rid of adult fleas, but also their eggs and larvae. The larvae feed on adult flea feces and other organic matter, which collect in things like carpets and rugs. Eliminating this source of food is a significant step in breaking the flea life cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner really carefully away from the home because the fleas will still be alive.

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

My pets in the household will be affected by the treatment you use?

The safety of your pets is very important to us. You can rest assured that any active component they might come into contact with, whether it’s still wet or inhaling it or ingestion it, is a tiny amount.

Will the spray cause human health issues?

The spray we employ is typically employed in public areas such as hospitals and schools and causes no ill effects on humans.

What do I do if I happen to touch one of the areas sprayed?

This is only of concern if the spray areas are still wet. If this occurs, clean with soap and plenty of water as soon as you possibly can. After a brief period in time carrier tap water has evaporated and will not harm you in any way when you come in contact with the surface.
