How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog seems to be in some distress and may 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 is better to check your pet to the vet; hence, there are a few of the findings you may check if you have fleas in the house:

• They are typically reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Assess the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat. These are the areas that are targeted and where you might see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully 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 see small, black specks.
• There’s flea dirt on pet bedding, carpets or rugs.

Actually, 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 completely remove them through pet control services. Our certified technicians know just what to do when it comes to getting rid of fleas.

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 house and reproduce in an astounding amount before you get your initial bite.

Fleas are in fact a common pest issue in Australian homes. Even those without pets, homeowners can still experience the nuisance of these pests. It is not only our dogs and cats that can harbor fleas but also other hairy creatures like rats, rabbits, mice and livestock such as pigs.

As parasites, the largest issue with regard to the presence of fleas in your home or business comes from their bites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an embarrassing itch or reactive rash. Your pets can also develop hypersensitive reactions 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 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 serious threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here’s our to-do list 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 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 very carefully away from the home because the fleas will still be alive.

Groom your pets frequently with a flea comb and wash their beds each week (ideally 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 take care of your pet.
