How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

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

• Can you see fleas crawling on your pet’s coat? They are typically reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Assess 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 look at your pet’s skin for fine black droppings which looks like ground black pepper – 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.

There are many reasons you can do to take away fleas in case you spot the issue early enough.

If the fleas keep coming back, or you want to ensure complete elimination, just contact our specialists. Our certified technicians know exactly what to do when it comes to getting rid of fleas. They understand the habits of different flea species and may provide the most appropriate and effective solution for your specific flea issue.

Problems With Fleas?

As adorable and cuddly pets can be, sometimes they can cause quite a lot of trouble without even knowing it. We talk, of course, about fleas. Together with your pets as a temporary ride, they will infest your home and reproduce at an astounding rate before you receive your first bite.

Fleas are a common problem in Australian homes, particularly those with pets. You will discover a problem with fleas even if you don’t have pets, if previous owners of your property kept cats or dogs. Fleas may also be carried on other (especially hairy) creatures like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs.

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 lead to skin allergies and swelling. Fleas bite may also transmit a surprising number of ailments because of the bacterial component they take. 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 every day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris that 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 severe threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here’s our to-do list to help you maintain a flea-free home:

Before you do anything else, vacuum – carpets, furniture, cracks in the floorboards and upholstered furnishings. This won’t only eliminate adult fleas but also their eggs and larvae, also. The larvae feed on adult flea feces and different organic matter, which collects in things like carpets and rugs. Removing this source of food is a vital step in breaking the flea lifestyle 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 (ideally at 50°c or above).

If your pet is scratching or biting its fur you ought to speak for your vet. They could propose the best flea sprays or powders to use to deal with your pet.
