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

Problems With Fleas?

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

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

As parasites, the greatest concern about the existence of fleas in your home or business comes from their snacks. Although these are not painful, they can result in an uncomfortable itch or reactive rash. Your pets may 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 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 not easy 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’s 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 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 things 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 home 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 should speak with your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to take care of your pet.
