How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

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

• They are normally reddish-brown and about 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 might see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully examine 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’s flea dirt on pet bedding, carpets or rugs.

There are several things you can do to get rid of fleas if you catch the problem early enough.

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

Problems With Fleas?

As cuddly and adorable pets can be, sometimes they can cause quite a bit of trouble without even knowing it. We speak, 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 even receive your first bite.

Fleas are a common problem in Australian homes, particularly those with pets. You may discover a problem with fleas even if you do not have pets, if previous owners of your property 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 presence of fleas is not the sole concern but also as their bites. Although these are not painful, its effects on your skin will lead to skin allergies and swelling. Fleas bite may also transmit a surprising number of diseases due to 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 drink 15 times their own weight per day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris they can see 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 is our to-do list to help you maintain a flea-free home:

Before you do anything else, vacuum – carpets, 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 such as 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 living .

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 treat your pet.
