Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are adorable, they can bring very trouble most especially when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures unknowingly inside their houses. Once this pest gets inside, they start to nestle and breed, infesting more than 1 area of your home and impose health risk to family members and pets.

Fleas are a common problem in Australian homes, especially those with pets. You may discover a problem with fleas even if you do not 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 cows.

As parasites, the greatest concern about the presence 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 could also develop allergies to the flea saliva.

Adult fleas feed on mammal blood and can beverage 15 times their own weight per day. Their larvae feed from pet or human dandruff, discarded hair, skin, and any other organic debris that they can find in your property. You will often find fleas comfortably snuggled in your pet’s fur. Their eggs may also spread throughout your entire property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and flooring. Larvae often lurk deep within the carpet fabric or in handy hardwood floor crevices.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here are our sure ways to help you keep 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 adult flea feces and other organic matter, which collect in things like carpets and rugs. Removing this source of food is an important step in breaking the flea life cycle.

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

Groom your pets regularly 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 talk to your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to treat your pet.
