How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog looks to be in some discomfort and may see them scratching their fur. This occurs if your pets are experiencing fleas infestation. They have these insect buried within their furs. However, what do fleas look like? It is better to check your furry friend to the vet; hence, there are some of the findings you may check if you have fleas in the home:

• Can you see fleas crawling on your pet’s coat? They are typically reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Next, check the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat since mostly that part is the flea’s favourite feeding and these are the regions that are targeted where you might see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully look at 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.
• There is flea dirt on pet bedding, carpets or rugs.

There are several things you can do to eliminate fleas if you catch the problem early enough.

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

Problems With Fleas?

As cuddly and adorable pets can be, occasionally they can cause quite a lot of trouble without even knowing it. We speak, of course, about fleas. Using your pets as a temporary ride, they will infest your house and reproduce at an astounding rate before you even receive your first bite.

Fleas are a common hassle in Australian Homes, especially those with pets. You may additionally discover a hassle with fleas, even should you not have pets if previous owners of your house had cats or dogs. Fleas can also be performed on various (particularly dairy) animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as cows.

Their presence 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 may also develop allergies to the flea saliva.

The main meal of fleas is usually blood from mammals. Adult fleas feed on blood and can consume 15 times their own weight every day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris 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 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 serious threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here is our to-do list to help you maintain a flea-free home:

Vacuum your environment and out-of-reach areas – rugs, 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 adult flea feces and other organic matter, which accumulate in things like carpets and rugs. Eliminating this source of food is an important 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 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 treat your pet.
