How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Fleas are small wingless jumping insect which feeds on the blood of dogs or cats. It sometimes transmits disease through its bite, including plague and myxomatosis. When a flea jumps on your pet, it will start feeding in 5 minutes and might suck blood for up to 2 and 1/2 hours. There are tips and monitoring we should do on how to identify signs if your pet undergoing discomfort from fleas and how to eliminate these. Here are a couple of ways to check if you have fleas in home or your pets have one:

• Can you see fleas crawling on your pet’s coat? They are normally reddish-brown and about 2mm long.
• Assess the hindquarters of your puppy or the head and neck of your cat. These are the regions that are targeted and where you might see signs of flea activity.
• Also, in a cautious manner, look in your pet’s skin for nice black shedding. This resembles ground black pepper. Moreover, 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 just what to do when it comes to getting rid of fleas and they have a maintenance solution to generate the fleas unable to come back again.

When the fleas keep returning back, or you need to make sure there is complete elimination, just get in touch with our experts. Our certified technicians recognise exactly what to do in terms of eliminating fleas. They know various flea species and can provide the best suitable and strong solution on your specific flea issue.

Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are adorable, they can bring very trouble most notably when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures unknowingly inside their houses. After this pest gets inside, they start to nestle and breed, infesting more than 1 area of your house and impose health risk to household members and pets.

Fleas are a common problem in Australian homes, particularly those with pets. You may detect a problem with fleas even if you don’t have pets, if previous owners of your property kept cats or dogs. Fleas can also be carried on other (especially hairy) creatures like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as cows.

Their presence does not only trigger goosebumps but also the fear of getting bitten by these pestering parasites. 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 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 premises. 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 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’s 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 eliminate 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 very carefully away from the house because the fleas will still be living .

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 take care of your pet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my household pets be affected by the treatments you use?

The safety of your pets is very important to us. We can assure you that any active component they come in contact with, whether it’s still wet or through inhalation or ingesting it, is a tiny amount.

Can the spray cause any human health issues?

The spray we apply is usually used in public places such as schools and hospitals and causes no ill effects to humans.

What do I do if I happen to touch one of the areas treated with a spray?

This is only an issue if the sprayed areas are still wet. If this occurs, clean with soap and lots of water as quickly as you are able to. After a brief period of time, the water carrier tap water has been dissolved and will not harm you in any way when you come in contact with the surface.
