How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog looks to be in some distress and is continually 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 home:

• It is a flea when you see a reddish-brown and about 2mm long crawling on your pet’s coat.
• Assess 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.
• In addition, in a cautious manner, look in your pet’s skin for nice black shedding. This looks like ground black pepper. Furthermore, you may 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.

The soonest you spot the infestation, the better you can get rid of these nasty fleas. Our certified technicians know exactly what to do when it comes to getting rid of fleas and they have a maintenance solution to make the fleas not able to come back again.

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

Problems With Fleas?

Having pets at home is surely fun most especially those with fluffy furs, but sometimes they can bring quite a bit of trouble. How? Well, we are talking about them getting fleas. Sometimes, it cannot be prevented that our fur pets can acquire pests that they unknowingly bring inside our home. Once this creepy crawler gets inside, they infest and reproduce at a faster speed and eventually invade our humble abode.

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

Their existence does not only trigger goosebumps but also the fear of being bitten by these pestering parasites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an embarrassing itching or reactive rash. Your pets may 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 some other organic debris 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 entire property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and flooring. Larvae often lurk deep within the carpet fabric or in convenient hardwood flooring crevices.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here is our to-do listing to help you keep a flea-free home:

Before you do anything else, vacuum – carpets, furniture, cracks in the floorboards and upholstered furnishings. This won’t only eliminate adult fleas but also their eggs and larvae, as well. The larvae feed on adult flea feces and different organic matter, which collects in things like carpets and rugs. Removing this source of food is a vital step in breaking the flea lifestyle cycle.

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

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.
