Problems With Fleas?

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

Fleas are one of the most common pest problems that Australian homes encounter. Even people without pets can still experience pest infestation especially if previous owners of your house Kept cats or dogs. 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 to the disturbance caused by fleas.

As parasites, the greatest concern about the presence of fleas in your house or business comes from their bites. 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 per day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris they can find in your premises. 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 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’s our to-do list to help you keep a flea-free home:

Vacuum your surroundings and out-of-reach areas – 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 accumulate in matters 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 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 speak with your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to treat your pet.
