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 kindly within their houses. After this pest gets inside, they start to nestle and strain, infesting more than one area of your home and impose health risk to family members and pets.

Fleas are a common hassle in Australian Homes, particularly those with pets. You may additionally discover a hassle with fleas, even if you do not have pets if previous owners of your home had cats or dogs. Fleas can also be carried on different (particularly dairy) animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs.

Their existence does not only trigger goosebumps but as well the fear of getting bitten by these pestering parasites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an uncomfortable itch or reactive rash. Your pets could 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 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 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 for pets and for us not a severe threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here is our to-do list to help you maintain 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 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 living .

Groom your pets frequently 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 treat your pet.
