How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog seems to be in some discomfort and may see them scratching their fur. This occurs when your pets are experiencing fleas infestation. They have these insect buried in their furs. However, what do fleas look like? It’s better to check your furry friend to the vet; hence, there are some of the findings you might check if you have fleas in the home:

• Can you see fleas crawling to your pet’s coat? They’re commonly reddish-brown and approximately 2mm long.
• Next, check the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat since mostly that part is the flea’s favourite feeding and these are the areas that are targeted in which you might see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully examine your pet’s skin for fine black droppings which resembles ground black pepper – use a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to see small, black specks.
• If there is a flea dirt on pet bedding carpets or rugs, there’s a possibility that your pet is undergoing flea feeding.

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

They understand the customs 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 talk, of course, about fleas. Using your pets as a temporary ride, they will infest your home and reproduce in an astounding rate before you receive your first bite.

Fleas are actually a common pest issue in Australian homes. Even those without pets, homeowners can still experience the aggravation of these pests. It is not only our dogs and cats that can harbor fleas but also other hairy creatures like rats, rabbits, mice and livestock such as pigs.

As parasites, the presence of fleas is not the only concern but also as their snacks. Although these are not painful, its effects on your skin is going to result in skin allergies and swelling. Fleas bite may also transmit a surprising number of ailments 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 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 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 is our to-do list to help you keep 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 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 really carefully away from the house because the fleas will still be alive.

Groom your pets regularly with a flea comb and wash their beds weekly (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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my pets at home affected by the treatment you apply?

The safety of your pets is very important to us. You may rest assured that any active component they might come into contact with, whether it’s still wet or through inhalation or ingesting it, is a tiny amount.

Will the spray cause problems to humans?

The spray we apply is usually used in public places such as schools and hospitals and does not cause any harm to humans.

What should I do if I happen to touch one of the areas that have been sprayed?

This is only an issue if the sprayed areas remain wet. If this happens, wash with soap and lots of water as soon as you are able to. After a relatively short period duration, your water carrier tap water has gone out of the water and will not harm you in any way when you come in contact with the area.
