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 disease 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 house:

• Can you see fleas crawling on your pet’s coat? They are typically reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Next, check the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat because mostly that part is the flea’s favourite feeding and these are the regions which 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 risk that your pet is undergoing flea feeding.

Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are cute, they can bring very trouble most especially when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures kindly within their houses. Once this pest gets inside, they start to nestle and breed, infesting more than one area of your house and impose health risk to family members and pets.

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

As parasites, the greatest concern about the presence of fleas in your home or business comes from their snacks. Although these are not painful, they can result in an uncomfortable itch 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 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 they can see in your premises. 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 difficult to dismiss fleas. Mostly, we see the tiny bloodsuckers as a nuisance to pets and for us not a serious threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here is our to-do listing to help you keep 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 on 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 very carefully away from the home because the fleas will still be alive.

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 speak with your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to take care of your pet.
