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 on your pet’s coat? They are normally reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Assess the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat. These are the regions that are targeted and where you might see signs of flea activity.
• Carefully have a look at your pet’s skin for fine black droppings which resembles ground black pepper – use a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to look small, black specks.
• If there is a flea dirt on pet bedding carpets or rugs, there is a risk that your pet is undergoing flea feeding.

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

If the fleas return, or you want to ensure complete elimination, just contact our experts. Our certified technicians know exactly what to do when it comes to getting rid of fleas. They understand the habits of different flea species and may provide the most appropriate and efficient solution for your particular flea issue.

Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are cute, they can bring quite trouble most notably when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures unknowingly inside their homes. Once this pest gets inside, they begin to nestle and breed, infesting more than one area of your home and impose health risk to family members and pets.

Fleas are one of the most common pest problems that Australian houses encounter. Even people without pets can still experience pest infestation especially when previous owners of your house kept cats or dogs. Fleas can also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as cows. With or without pets, everyone is vulnerable to the disturbance caused by fleas.

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 consume 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 see in your premises. 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 inconvenient hardwood floor crevices. It’s difficult to dismiss fleas. Mostly, we see the tiny bloodsuckers as a nuisance to pets and for us not a serious threat to anyone’s health.

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, 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 carpeting. Removing this source of food is a significant step in breaking the flea life cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner really carefully away from the home because the fleas will still be alive.

Groom your pets frequently with a flea comb and wash their beds every week (ideally at 50°c or above).

If your pet is scratching or biting its fur you should speak with your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to treat your pet.
