How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog looks to be in some distress and might see them scratching their fur. This occurs if your pets are experiencing fleas infestation. They have these pest buried in their furs. However, what do fleas look like? It is better to check your pet to the vet; hence, there are a few of the findings you may check if you have fleas in the home:

• They are normally 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.
• Carefully have a look at your pet’s skin for fine black droppings which looks like ground black pepper – utilise a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to look small, black specks.
• There is flea dirt on pet bedding, carpets or rugs.

Problems With Fleas?

As cuddly and adorable pets may be, sometimes they can cause quite a tad bit trouble without you even knowing it. We certainly refer to fleas. Using your pets as a temporary ride they will infest your own home and reproduce at an astounding amount before you get your initial bite.

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

As parasites, the presence of fleas is not the sole concern but also as their bites. Although these are not painful, its effects on your skin will result in skin allergies and swelling. Fleas bite can also transmit a surprising number of ailments because of the bacterial component they carry. These diseases might affect both your pet’s health as well as yourself.

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 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 for pets and for us not a serious threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

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

Vacuum your environment and out-of-reach areas – rugs, 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 adult flea feces and other organic matter, which accumulate in things like carpets and rugs. Eliminating this source of food is an important step in breaking the flea life cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner really carefully away from the house because the fleas will still be living .

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 treat your pet.
