Problems With Fleas?

As cuddly and adorable pets may be, occasionally they can cause quite a bit of trouble without you even knowing it. We refer to fleas. Using your pets as a temporary ride they will infest your own house and reproduce at an astounding amount before you get your first bite.

Fleas are among the most common pest problems that Australian houses encounter. Even people without pets can nevertheless experience pest infestation particularly if previous owners of your house kept dogs or cats. Fleas may also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs. With or without pets, everyone is vulnerable on the disturbance caused by fleas.

As parasites, the biggest issue with regard to the existence of fleas in your own home or business comes from their bites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an embarrassing itch or reactive rash. Your pets can also develop 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 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 whole property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and flooring. Larvae often lurk deep inside 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

The larvae feed on adult flea feces and different organic thing, which collects in things like carpets and rugs. Removing this source of food is a vital step in breaking the flea lifestyle cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner very carefully away from the house because the fleas will still be alive.

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 speak with your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to take care of your pet.
