How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog looks to be in some distress and might see them scratching their fur. This happens when your pets are experiencing fleas infestation. They have these insect buried in their furs. However, what do fleas look like? It’s better to check your furry friend to the vet; hence, there are a few of the findings you may check if you have fleas in the house:

• They are normally reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Assess the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat. These are the regions that are targeted and where you could see signs of flea activity.
• In addition, in a cautious manner, look at 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’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 provide the most appropriate and effective solution for your specific flea issue.

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 houses. Once this pest gets inside, they begin to nestle and strain, infesting more than 1 area of your house and impose health risk to family members and pets.

Fleas are one of the most common pest problems that Australian homes encounter. Even those without pets can still experience pest infestation especially if previous owners of your house kept dogs or cats. Fleas may also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rats, rabbits, 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 bites. Although these are not painful, its effects on your skin is going to result in skin allergies and swelling. Fleas bite may also transmit a surprising number of diseases 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 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 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 within 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 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 accumulate in matters such as 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 frequently with a flea comb and wash their beds weekly (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.
