How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog looks to be in some distress and is constantly scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin infection or could it be fleas feeding? But what do fleas look like? Before you take your pet to the vet, there are a couple of ways to check if you have fleas in the home:

• They are typically reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Next, check the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat since largely that part is the flea’s favourite feeding and these are the regions that are targeted in which you might see signs of flea activity.
• Also, in a cautious manner, look at your pet’s skin for fine black dropping. This looks like ground black pepper. Furthermore, you may use a flea comb over a sheet of white paper to see small, black specks.
• There is flea dirt on pet bedding, carpets or rugs.

Actually, there are many ways you can get rid of fleas as soon as you catch sight of them. But if they keep coming back, then that’s a sign you have to fully remove them through pet control services. Our certified technicians know just what to do when it comes to getting rid of fleas.

They understand the habits of different flea species and can offer the most appropriate and effective solution for your specific flea issue.

Problems With Fleas?

As cuddly and adorable pets can be, sometimes they can cause quite a bit 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 home and reproduce at an astounding rate before you even receive your first bite.

Fleas are a common problem in Australian homes, particularly 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. Fleas can also be carried on other (especially hairy) creatures like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs.

As parasites, the greatest concern about the presence of fleas in your home or business comes from their snacks. Although these are not painful, they can result in an uncomfortable itch or reactive rash. Your pets may also develop allergies to the flea saliva.

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 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 within 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 is our to-do listing 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 a significant step in breaking the flea life cycle.

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

Groom your pets regularly with a flea comb and wash their beds every week (ideally 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 take care of your pet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the spray pose human health issues?
