Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are cute, they can bring very trouble most notably when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures kindly within their houses. After this pest gets inside, they begin to nestle and breed, infesting more than one area of your home and impose health risk to household 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 don’t have pets, if previous owners of your property kept cats or dogs. Fleas can also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs.

As parasites, the presence of fleas is not the only 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 diseases due to the bacterial component they carry. These diseases might affect both your pet’s health as well as yourself.

Adult fleas feed on mammal blood and can drink 15 times their own weight daily. Their larvae feed from pet or human dandruff, discarded hair, skin, and some other organic debris they can find in your property. You will often find fleas comfortably snuggled in your pet’s fur. Their eggs may also spread throughout your entire property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and flooring. Larvae often lurk deep inside the carpet fabric or in handy hardwood flooring crevices.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here are our certain ways 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 eliminate adult fleas but also their eggs and larvae. The larvae feed on adult flea feces and other organic matter, which collect 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 house because the fleas will still be alive.

Groom your pets regularly with a flea comb and wash their beds weekly (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.
