How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Fleas are small wingless jumping insect which feeds on the blood of cats or dogs. It sometimes transmits disease through its sting, including plague and myxomatosis. If a flea jumps onto your pet, it will start feeding in 5 minutes and may suck blood for up to two and 1/2 hours. There are tips and observation we should do on how to spot signs if your pet undergoing suffering from fleas and how to get rid of these. Here are a couple of ways to check if you have fleas in home or your pets have one:

• They are normally reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Assess the hindquarters of your puppy or the head and neck of your cat. These are the areas that are targeted and where you could see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully look at your pet’s skin for fine black droppings which resembles ground black pepper – use a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to see small, black specks.
• There’s flea dirt on pet bedding, carpets or rugs.

There are several things you can do to get rid of fleas if you catch the problem early enough.

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

Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are adorable, they can bring very trouble most notably when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures unknowingly inside their houses. After this pest gets inside, they begin to nestle and strain, infesting more than one area of your home and impose health risk to family members and pets.

Fleas are among the most common pest problems that Australian homes encounter. Even those without pets can still experience pest infestation particularly if previous owners of your house kept dogs or cats. Fleas can 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.

Their existence does not only trigger goosebumps but also the fear of getting bitten by these pestering parasites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an embarrassing itching 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 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 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 difficult to dismiss fleas. Mostly, we see the tiny bloodsuckers as a nuisance for pets and for us not a severe threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here’s our to-do listing to help you maintain 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 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 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 home because the fleas will still be alive.

Groom your pets frequently 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 treat your pet.
