Problems With Fleas?

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

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

As parasites, the largest 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 may 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 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 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 difficult 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 are our sure ways to help you keep a flea-free house:

Before you do anything else, vacuum – carpets, furnishings, cracks in the floorboards and upholstered furniture. This will not only eliminate 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 a significant step in breaking the flea life cycle.

Empty your vacuum purifier attentively away from the house because the fleas will nonetheless still be alive.

Groom your pets regularly 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.
