Problems With Fleas?

Having pets at home is surely fun most especially those with fluffy furs, but sometimes they can bring quite a bit of trouble. How? Well, we’re talking about them getting fleas. Sometimes, it cannot be prevented that our fur pets can acquire pests that they unknowingly bring inside our dwelling. Once this creepy crawler gets inside, they infest and reproduce at a faster speed and eventually invade our humble abode.

Fleas are a common problem in Australian homes, especially those with pets. You may detect a problem with fleas even if you don’t have pets, if previous owners of your house 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 presence of fleas is not the only concern but also as their snacks. Although these are not painful, its effects on your skin will lead to skin allergies and swelling. Fleas bite may also transmit a surprising number of diseases because of the bacterial component they carry. These diseases might affect both your pet’s health as well as yourself.

Adult fleas feed on mammal blood and can beverage 15 times their own weight per day. Their larvae feed from human or pet dandruff, discarded hair, skin, 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 may also spread throughout your entire property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and flooring. Larvae often lurk deep inside the carpet fabric or in convenient hardwood flooring crevices.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

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

Before you do anything else, vacuum – rugs, furniture, cracks in the floorboards and upholstered furnishings. This will not only eliminate adult fleas but also their eggs and larvae, as well. The larvae feed on adult flea feces and different organic matter, 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 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 talk to your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to take care of your pet.
