Problems With Fleas?

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

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 property kept cats or dogs. Fleas may also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as cows.

As parasites, the largest issue with regard to the existence of fleas in your own 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.

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

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here’s our to-do list to help you maintain a flea-free home:

Vacuum your surroundings 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. Removing 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 living .

Groom your pets often with a flea comb and wash their beds each 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 take care of your pet.
