Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are adorable, they can bring quite trouble most especially when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures kindly within their houses. Once this pest gets inside, they start to nestle and breed, infesting more than one area of your house and impose health risk to household members and pets.

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

Their presence does not only trigger goosebumps but as well the fear of being bitten by these pestering parasites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an uncomfortable itch or reactive rash. Your pets could also develop allergies 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 per day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris 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 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 to 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:

Vacuum your environment and out-of-reach areas – 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 accumulate in matters like carpets and rugs. Removing this source of food is an important step in breaking the flea life cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner really carefully away from the home because the fleas will still be living .

Groom your pets often with a flea comb and wash their beds each week (preferably 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.
