How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog looks to be in some discomfort 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:

• Can you see fleas crawling on your pet’s coat? They are normally reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Next, check the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat since largely that part is the flea favourite feeding and these are the regions that are targeted in which you might see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully examine your pet’s skin for fine black droppings which resembles ground black pepper – use a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to see small, black specks.
• If there is a flea dirt on pet bedding carpets or rugs, there is a possibility that your pet is experiencing flea feeding.

The soonest you spot the infestation, the better you can eliminate 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 return again.

They understand the habits of different flea species and can provide the most suitable and effective solution for your particular flea issue.

Problems With Fleas?

Having pets at home is definitely 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 dwelling. Once this creepy crawler gets inside, they infest and reproduce at a faster rate and eventually invade our humble abode.

Fleas are one of the most common pest problems that Australian homes encounter. Even those without pets can still experience pest infestation especially if previous owners of your house kept dogs or cats. Fleas may also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as cows. With or without pets, everyone is vulnerable on the disturbance caused by fleas.

Their existence 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 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 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 whole property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and flooring. Larvae often lurk deep inside the carpet fabric or inconvenient hardwood floor crevices. It’s difficult 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’s our to-do list to help you maintain a flea-free home:

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 accumulate 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 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 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 take care of your pet.
