How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog seems to be in a couple of pains and is continually scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin disease or if it be fleas feeding? But what do fleas appear like? Before you are taking your pet to the vet, there are a couple of approaches to test if you have fleas inside the home:

• Can you spot fleas crawling to your pet’s coat? They are commonly reddish-brown and approximately 2mm long.
• Check 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 take a look at your pet’s skin for fine black droppings which resembles ground black pepper – utilise a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to seem small, black specks.
• If there is a flea dirt on pet bedding carpets or rugs, there is a risk that your pet is experiencing flea feeding.

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 make 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 identify exactly what to do when it comes to eliminating fleas. They understand various flea species and can provide the best suitable and powerful solution on your certain flea problem.

Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are cute, they can bring quite trouble most especially when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures kindly within their homes. After this pest gets inside, they begin to nestle and strain, infesting more than one area of your house and impose health risk to household members and pets.

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 creatures like rats, rabbits, mice and livestock such as pigs.

As parasites, the biggest issue with regard to the existence of fleas in your home or business comes from their bites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an embarrassing itch or reactive rash. Your pets may also create hypersensitive reactions 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 every 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 difficult 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’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 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 like carpets and rugs. Eliminating 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 talk to your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to take care of your pet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my pets at home affected by the treatments you use?

Your pet’s safety is very important to us. You can rest assured that any active component they come in contact with, whether it’s still wet or by inhaling or ingesting it, is a tiny amount.

Can the spray cause any problems to humans?

The spray we employ is typically used in public places like schools and hospitals and does not cause any harm to humans.

What do I do if I happen to touch one of the areas that have been sprayed?

This is only an issue if the sprayed areas remain wet. If this occurs, clean with soap and plenty of water as quickly as you are able to. After a relatively short period of time, the water carrier tap water has gone out of the water and will not cause any harm to you when you come in contact with the surface.
