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. After this pest gets inside, they start to nestle and breed, infesting more than 1 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 if previous owners of your property kept dogs or cats. Fleas may 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 greatest concern about the presence of fleas in your house 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.

They’re 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 they can find in your property. 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.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here’s our to-do list to help you keep a flea-free home:

Vacuum your surroundings and out-of-reach areas – rugs, 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 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 very carefully away from the house because the fleas will still be alive.

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 ought to speak for your vet. They can propose the best flea sprays or powders to use to deal with your pet.
