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. Together with your pets as a temporary ride, they will infest your home and reproduce at an astounding rate before you receive your first bite.

Fleas are a common problem in Australian homes, particularly those with pets. You may detect a problem with fleas even if you do not have pets, if previous owners of your property kept cats or dogs. Fleas can also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs.

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

The main meal of fleas is usually blood from mammals. Adult fleas feed on blood and can drink 15 times their own weight per day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris that 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 inside 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’s our to-do listing 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 really 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 talk to your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to take care of your pet.
