Problems With Fleas?

As cuddly and adorable pets can be, sometimes they can cause quite a lot of trouble without even being aware of it. We talk, of course, about fleas. Using your pets as a temporary ride, they will infest your house and reproduce in an astounding rate before you receive your first bite.

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

As parasites, the greatest concern about the presence of fleas in your home 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 every day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris 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 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 is our to-do listing to help you maintain a flea-free home:

Vacuum your surroundings and out-of-reach areas – 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 matters like 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 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.
