Problems With Fleas?

As adorable and cuddly pets can be, occasionally they can cause quite a bit of trouble without even being aware of it. We speak, of course, about fleas. Together with your pets as a temporary ride, they will infest your home and reproduce in an astounding rate before you receive your first bite.

Fleas are in fact a common pest problem in Australian homes. Even those without pets, homeowners can still experience the aggravation of these pests. It’s not only our cats and dogs that can harbor fleas but also other hairy creatures like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs.

Their existence does not only trigger goosebumps but as well the fear of getting bitten by these pestering parasites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an embarrassing itching or reactive rash. Your pets could also develop allergies 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 every day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris that they can see 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 severe threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here are our sure ways 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 matters like carpets and rugs. Eliminating this source of food is a significant step in breaking the flea life cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner very carefully away from the home 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 ought to speak for your vet. They could propose the best flea sprays or powders to use to take care of your pet.
