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. After this pest gets inside, they start to nestle and breed, infesting more than one area of your home and impose health risk to family members and pets.

Fleas are actually a common pest issue in Australian homes. Even those with pets, homeowners can still experience the nuisance of these pests. It is not only our cats and dogs that can harbor fleas but also other hairy animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs.

Their presence does not only trigger goosebumps but also the fear of being bitten by these pestering parasites. 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.

Adult fleas feed on mammal blood and can drink 15 instances their very own weight each day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and a few other organic debris they could find in your dwelling. You will regularly find fleas simply snuggled on your pet’s fur. Their eggs may also unfold in your entire property, infesting your bedding, furnishings, and floors. Larvae frequently lurk deep inside the carpet material or within a convenient hardwood floor crevices.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here’s our to-do list 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 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. Eliminating this source of food is a significant step in breaking the flea life cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner really carefully away from the home because the fleas will still be living .

Groom your pets frequently with a flea comb and wash their beds each week (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 take care of your pet.
