Problems With Fleas?

Having pets in home is surely fun most especially those with fluffy furs, but occasionally they can bring quite a bit of trouble. How? Well, we’re talking about them getting fleas. Sometimes, it cannot be prevented that our fur pets can get pests they unknowingly bring inside our home. After this creepy crawler gets inside, they infest and reproduce at a faster rate and eventually invade our humble abode.

Fleas are a common problem in Australian homes, especially those with pets. You will 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.

As parasites, the greatest concern about the presence of fleas in your house or business comes from their snacks. 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 every day. Their larvae feed on a pet or human dandruff, discarded skin, hair, and any other organic debris that they can see in your property. You will often find fleas comfortably snuggled in your pet’s fur. Their eggs can also spread throughout your entire 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 severe threat to anyone’s health.

Keeping You Home Flea Free

Here’s our to-do list to help you maintain a flea-free home:

Before you do anything else, vacuum – carpets, furniture, cracks in the floorboards and upholstered furnishings. This won’t only eliminate adult fleas but additionally their eggs and larvae, as well. The larvae feed on adult flea feces and different organic matter, which collects in things like carpets and rugs. Removing this source of food is a crucial step in breaking the flea lifestyle cycle.

Empty your vacuum cleaner very 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 speak with your vet. They can recommend the best flea sprays or powders to use to take care of your pet.
