Problems With Fleas?

As adorable and cuddly pets can be, sometimes they can cause quite a lot of trouble without even knowing it. We speak, 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 receive your first bite.

Fleas are one of 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 cats or dogs. Fleas can also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as cows. With or without pets, everyone is vulnerable to the disturbance caused by fleas.

Fleas bite can also transmit a surprising number of ailments because of the bacterial component they carry. These diseases might affect both your pet’s health and even yourself.

The main meal of fleas is usually blood from mammals. Adult fleas feed on blood and can drink 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 see 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 inside the carpet fabric or inconvenient hardwood floor crevices. It’s difficult to dismiss fleas. Mostly, we see the tiny bloodsuckers as a nuisance to pets and for us not a severe threat to anyone’s health.

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