How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog seems to be in a couple of pains and is constantly scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin disease or if it be fleas feeding? But what do fleas appear like? Before you’re taking your pet to the vet, there are a couple of approaches to test if you have fleas within the home:

• They are typically reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Assess the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat. These are the areas that are targeted and where you might see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully take a look at your pet’s skin for pleasant black droppings which looks like ground black pepper – utilise a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to look small, black specks.
• If there is a flea dirt on pet bedding carpets or rugs, there’s a risk that your pet is undergoing flea feeding.

There are numerous reasons you can do to take away fleas in case you spot the problem early enough.

Problems With Fleas?

As cuddly and adorable pets may be, sometimes 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 in an astounding amount before you get your first bite.

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

As parasites, the presence of fleas is not the only concern but also as their bites. Although these are not painful, its effects on your skin is going to result in skin allergies and swelling. Fleas bite can also transmit a surprising number of diseases due to the bacterial component they take. These diseases might affect both your pet’s health and even yourself.

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 find 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 not easy to dismiss fleas. Mostly, we see the tiny bloodsuckers as a nuisance for 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 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 collect 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 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 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.
