Your cat or dog appears to be in a few pains and is continually scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin infection or should it be fleas feeding? But what do fleas appear like? Before you’re taking your pet to the vet, there are a few approaches to test if you have fleas inside the home:

• They are typically reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Assess the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat. These are the areas that are targeted and where you could see signs of flea activity.
• Also, in a careful manner, look in your pet’s skin for fine black shedding. This looks like ground black pepper. Moreover, 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.

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

Problems With Fleas?

Having pets at home is surely fun most especially those with fluffy furs, but occasionally they can bring quite a bit of trouble. How? Well, we are talking about them getting fleas. Sometimes, it cannot be prevented our fur pets can get pests that they unknowingly bring inside our dwelling. After this creepy crawler gets inside, they infest and reproduce at a faster rate and eventually invade our humble abode.

Fleas are among the most common pest problems that Australian houses encounter. Even those without pets can still experience pest infestation especially 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 on the disturbance caused by fleas.

As parasites, the presence of fleas is not the only concern but also as their snacks. Although these are not painful, its effects on your skin is going to result in skin allergies and swelling. Fleas bite can also transmit a surprising number of diseases due to 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 consume 15 times their own weight per day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris that 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 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 for 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 collect 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 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 treat your pet.
