How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog looks to be in some discomfort and is constantly scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin infection 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:

• It’s a flea when you see a reddish-brown and about 2mm long crawling on your pet’s coat.
• 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 areas that are targeted where you might see signs of flea activity.
• Assess the hindquarters of your puppy or the head and neck of your cat. These are the areas that are targeted and where you could see signs of flea activity.
• If there is a flea dirt on pet bedding carpets or rugs, there’s a possibility that your pet is experiencing flea feeding.

In fact, there are many ways you can get rid of fleas once you catch sight of them. But if they keep coming back, then that’s a sign you have to completely remove them through pet control services. Our certified technicians know just what to do when it comes to getting rid of fleas.

They understand the customs of different flea species and can offer the most appropriate and effective solution for your specific flea issue.

Problems With Fleas?

As cuddly and lovable pets may be, occasionally they can cause quite a tad bit trouble without you even knowing it. We 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 a common problem in Australian homes, especially those with pets. You will discover a problem with fleas even if you don’t have pets, if previous owners of your house kept cats or dogs. Fleas may also be carried on other (especially hairy) creatures like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as cows.

As parasites, the presence of fleas is not the sole concern but as well as their bites. Although these are not painful, its effects on your skin will result in skin allergies and swelling. Fleas bite may 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.

Adult fleas feed on mammal blood and can beverage 15 times their own weight daily. Their larvae feed from pet or human dandruff, discarded hair, skin, 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 entire property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and floors. Larvae often lurk deep within the carpet fabric or in handy hardwood flooring crevices.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

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

Before you do anything else, vacuum – 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 collect in things like carpets and carpeting. Removing 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 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 take care of your pet.
