Problems With Fleas?

As cuddly and adorable pets can be, sometimes they can cause quite a lot of trouble without even being aware of it. We talk, of course, about fleas. Together with your pets as a temporary ride, they will infest your house and reproduce in an astounding rate before you receive your first bite.

Fleas are a common problem in Australian homes, especially those with pets. You will detect a problem with fleas even if you do not have pets, if previous owners of your property kept cats or dogs.

Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris they can see in your premises. 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 for pets and for us not a severe threat to anyone’s health.
