How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog appears to be in some discomfort and is constantly scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin disease or could it be fleas feeding? But what do fleas look like? Before you take your pet to the vet, there are a couple of ways to check if you have fleas in the house:

• Can you see fleas crawling to your pet’s coat? They are commonly reddish-brown and approximately 2mm long.
• Next, check the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat because largely that part is the flea favourite feeding and these are the areas which are targeted where you might 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’s flea dirt on pet bedding, carpets or rugs.

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

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

Problems With Fleas?

As cuddly and adorable pets can be, occasionally they can cause quite a bit of trouble without even being aware of it. We talk, of course, about fleas. Together with your pets as a temporary ride, they will infest your house and reproduce in an astounding rate before you even receive your first bite.

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

As parasites, the greatest concern about the presence of fleas in your house 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.

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 that they can find 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 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 severe threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here’s our to-do list to help you keep 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 matters like carpets and rugs. Removing this source of food is a significant 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 often with a flea comb and wash their beds every week (preferably 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my household pets be affected by the treatments you apply?

Does the spray pose problems to humans?

The spray we apply is usually employed in public areas like schools and hospitals and does not cause any harm to human beings.

It’s only an issue if the sprayed areas remain wet. If this happens, wash with soap and lots of water as fast as you can. After a brief period duration, your water carrier tap water has gone out of the water and won’t harm you in any way should you come into contact with the area.
