Problems With Fleas?

In as much that pets are cute, they can bring very trouble most especially when they get fleas. They bring these creepy creatures unknowingly inside their homes. Once this pest gets inside, they start to nestle and breed, infesting more than 1 area of your home and impose health risk to family members and pets.

Fleas are a common hassle in Australian Homes, particularly those with pets. You may additionally discover a hassle with fleas, even if you do not have pets if previous owners of your house had cats or dogs. Fleas can also be performed on different (particularly dairy) animals like rats, rabbits, mice and livestock such as cows.

As parasites, the presence of fleas is not the only concern but also as their snacks. Although these are not painful, its effects on your skin will result in skin allergies and swelling. Fleas bite may also transmit a surprising number of diseases due to the bacterial component they take. These diseases might affect both your pet’s health as well as yourself.

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 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 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 for 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 maintain 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 collect in matters like carpets and rugs. Eliminating this source of food is an important 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 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 treat your pet.
