Fleas are small wingless jumping insect which feeds on the blood of cats or dogs. It sometimes transmits disease through its sting, including plague and myxomatosis. If a flea jumps on your pet, it will start feeding in 5 minutes and may suck blood for up to 2 and 1/2 hours. There are tips and monitoring we ought to do on how to spot signs if your pet experiencing suffering from fleas and how to get rid of these. Here are a couple of ways to check if you have fleas at home or your pets have one:

• They are normally reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Next, check the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat because mostly that part is the flea favourite feeding and these are the regions which are targeted where you might see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully examine your pet’s skin for fine black droppings which resembles ground black pepper – use a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to see small, black specks.
• If there is a flea dirt on pet bedding carpets or rugs, there is a risk that your pet is undergoing flea feeding.

The soonest you spot the infestation, the better you can get rid of these nasty fleas. Our certified technicians know exactly what to do when it comes to getting rid of fleas and they have a maintenance solution to generate the fleas unable to come back again.

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

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 unknowingly inside their houses. After this pest gets inside, they start to nestle and strain, infesting more than 1 area of your home and impose health risk to family members and pets.

Fleas are a common problem in Australian homes, particularly those with pets. You will detect a problem with fleas even if you do not have pets, if previous owners of your property kept cats or dogs. Fleas may also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as cows.

As parasites, the largest issue with regard to the presence of fleas in your own home or business comes from their bites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an uncomfortable itch or reactive rash. Your pets can also create hypersensitive reactions to the flea saliva.

The main meal of fleas is usually blood from mammals. Adult fleas feed on blood and can drink 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 within the carpet fabric or inconvenient hardwood floor crevices. It’s not easy 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:

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 accumulate in things like carpets and carpeting. Removing 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 alive.

Groom your pets frequently with a flea comb and wash their beds each week (preferably 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.
