How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog appears to be in some distress and is constantly scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin disease or could it be fleas feeding? But what do fleas look like? Before you take your pet to the vet, there are a couple of ways to check if you have fleas in the home:

• Can you see fleas crawling on your pet’s coat? They are normally reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Check 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.
• Carefully have a look at your pet’s skin for pleasant black droppings which looks like ground black pepper – use a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to seem small, black specks.
• There’s flea dirt on pet bedding, carpets or rugs.

The soonest you spot the infestation, the better you can eliminate these nasty fleas. Our certified technicians know exactly what to do when it comes to getting rid of fleas and they have a maintenance solution to make the fleas unable to return again.

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?

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

Fleas are a common problem in Australian homes, especially those with pets. You may detect a problem with fleas even if you don’t have pets, 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 pigs.

Their presence 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 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 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 see 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 are our sure ways to help you keep a flea-free house:

Vacuum your environment and out-of-reach areas – rugs, furnishings, cracks in the floorboards and upholstered furniture. This will not only eliminate 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. Eliminating this source of food is an important step in breaking the flea life cycle.

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

Groom your pets frequently with a flea comb and wash their beds every week (preferably 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.
