Problems With Fleas?

As cuddly and lovable 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 house and reproduce in an astounding amount before you get your initial bite.

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

As parasites, the presence of fleas is not the sole concern but also as their snacks. 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.

They are voracious blood drinkers and an adult flea can drink 15 times their own weight per day. On the other hand, their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, lost hair, skin, and any other organic debris that they can see in your property. You will often find fleas comfortably snuggled in your pet’s fur. Their eggs may also spread throughout your whole property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and flooring. larvae often lurk deep within the carpet cloth or inconvenient hardwood floor crevices.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here is our to-do listing to help you maintain a flea-free home:

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. Removing this source of food is a significant step in breaking the flea life cycle.

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

Groom your pets frequently with a flea comb and wash their beds every 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.
