How to spot signs and get rid of fleas

Your cat or dog appears to be in some distress and is continually scratching or biting their fur. Is it a skin disease or could it be fleas feeding? But what do fleas look like? Before you take your pet to the vet, there are a couple of ways to check if you have fleas in the house:

• Can you spot fleas crawling to your pet’s coat? They are commonly reddish-brown and approximately 2mm long.
• Next, check the hindquarters of your dog or the head and neck of your cat because largely that part is the flea favourite feeding and these are the regions which are targeted where you might see signs of flea activity.
• 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.

The soonest you spot the infestation, the better you can eliminate 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.

They understand the customs of different flea species and can provide the most appropriate and effective solution for your particular flea issue.

Problems With Fleas?

As cuddly and adorable pets can be, sometimes they can cause quite a bit 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 at an astounding rate before you even receive your first bite.

Fleas are actually 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 animals like rats, rabbits, mice and livestock such as pigs.

Their existence does not only trigger goosebumps but as well the fear of being bitten by these pestering parasites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an embarrassing itching or reactive rash. Your pets may also develop allergies to the flea saliva.

Adult fleas feed on mammal blood and can drink 15 times their own weight daily. Their larvae feed from human or pet dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris they can find in your property. You may often find fleas comfortably snuggled in your pet’s fur. Their eggs may also spread throughout your entire property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and floors. Larvae often lurk deep inside the carpet fabric or in convenient hardwood floor crevices.

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 – rugs, furniture, cracks in the floorboards and upholstered furnishings. This will not only eliminate adult fleas but also their eggs and larvae, also. The larvae feed on adult flea feces and different organic thing, which collects in things like carpets and rugs. Removing this source of food is a vital step in breaking the flea lifestyle cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner really carefully away from the house because the fleas will still be living .

Groom your pets regularly 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 treat your pet.
