Problems With Fleas?

Having pets in home is definitely 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 our fur pets can get pests they unknowingly bring inside our home. Once this creepy crawler gets inside, they infest and reproduce at a faster rate and eventually invade our humble abode.

Fleas are in fact a common pest problem in Australian homes. Even those with pets, homeowners can still experience the nuisance of these pests. It is not only our cats and dogs that can harbor fleas but also other hairy animals like rats, rabbits, mice and livestock such as pigs.

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 may 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 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 not easy 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:

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 collect in things such as carpets and rugs. Removing this source of food is an important step in breaking the flea life 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 every week (preferably 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.
