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 unknowingly inside their homes. 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 house kept dogs or cats. Fleas can also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rats, rabbits, 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 presence of fleas in your home or business comes from their bites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an uncomfortable itch or reactive rash. Your pets can also create 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 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’s our to-do list to help you keep a flea-free home:

Before you do anything else, vacuum – carpets, furnishings, cracks in the floorboards and upholstered furniture. This will not only get rid of adult fleas but also their eggs and larvae. The larvae feed on adult flea feces and other organic matter, which accumulate in things like carpets and carpeting. Eliminating this source of food is an important step in breaking the flea life cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner very carefully away from the house because the fleas will still be alive.

Groom your pets regularly 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.

The spray we apply is usually employed in public areas like schools and hospitals and does not cause any harm on humans.
