How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Fleas are small wingless jumping insect that feeds on the blood of dogs or cats. It sometimes transmits disease through its sting, including plague and myxomatosis. When a flea jumps onto your pet, it will start feeding within 5 minutes and might suck blood for up to two and 1/2 hours. There are tips and monitoring we should do on how to identify signs if your pet experiencing suffering from fleas and how to get rid of these. Here are a couple of ways to check if you have fleas at home or your pets have one:

• Can you spot fleas crawling to your pet’s coat? They’re commonly reddish-brown and approximately 2mm long.
• Check the hindquarters of your puppy 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 fine black droppings which resembles ground black pepper – use a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to seem small, black specks.
• If there is a flea dirt on pet bedding carpets or rugs, there’s a possibility that your pet is undergoing flea feeding.

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’s a sign you have to fully remove them through pet control services. Our certified technicians know just what to do when it comes to getting rid of fleas.

They understand the habits of different flea species and can provide the most suitable and effective solution for your particular flea issue.

Problems With Fleas?

As cuddly and lovable pets may be, sometimes they can cause quite a bit of trouble without you even knowing it. We certainly refer to fleas. Using your pets as a temporary ride they will infest your own home and reproduce at an astounding amount before you get your first bite.

Fleas are a common problem in Australian homes, especially those with pets. You may discover a problem with fleas even if you don’t have pets, if previous owners of your house kept cats or dogs. Fleas may also be carried on other (especially hairy) creatures 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 consume 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 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 to pets and for us not a severe threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here is our to-do listing to help you maintain a flea-free home:

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 adult flea feces and other organic matter, which collect in matters like carpets and rugs. Removing 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 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.
