• It’s a flea when you see a reddish-brown and about 2mm long crawling on your pet’s coat.
• Check the hindquarters of your puppy or the head and neck of your cat. These are the regions which might be concentrated and where you might see symptoms of flea hobby.
• 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 is a possibility that your pet is experiencing flea feeding.

Problems With Fleas?

As cuddly and adorable pets may be, occasionally they can cause quite a tad bit trouble without you even knowing it. We certainly refer to fleas. Using your pets as a temporary ride they will infest your own house and reproduce in an astounding amount before you get your first bite.

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

As parasites, the presence of fleas is not the sole concern but as well 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 carry. These diseases might affect both your pet’s health as well as yourself.

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 find in your property. You will often find fleas comfortably snuggled in your pet’s fur. Their eggs can also spread throughout your whole property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and flooring. Larvae often lurk deep inside the carpet fabric or inconvenient hardwood floor crevices. It’s not easy 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’s our to-do listing 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 eliminate adult fleas but also their eggs and larvae. The larvae feed on adult flea feces and other organic matter, which collect in things like carpets and rugs. Eliminating this source of food is an important step in breaking the flea life cycle.

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

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.
