Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are adorable, they can bring quite trouble most notably when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures unknowingly inside their homes. Once this pest gets inside, they begin to nestle and strain, infesting more than 1 area of your house and impose health risk to family members and pets.

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

As parasites, the presence of fleas is not the sole concern but also as their snacks. Although these are not painful, its effects on your skin is going to 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 and even 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 severe threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

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

Before you do anything else, vacuum – rugs, furniture, cracks in the floorboards and upholstered furnishings. This won’t only eliminate adult fleas but also their eggs and larvae, also. The larvae feed on adult flea feces and different organic matter, which collects in things like carpets and rugs. Removing this source of food is a crucial step in breaking the flea lifestyle cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner very 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 speak with your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to treat your pet.
