However, what do fleas look like? It’s better to check your furry friend to the vet; hence, there are some of the findings you might check if you have fleas in the home:

• It is a flea when you see a reddish-brown and about 2mm long crawling on your pet’s coat.
• 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 examine your pet’s skin for fine black droppings which looks like ground black pepper – use a flea comb over a sheet of white paper, to see small, black specks.
• There is flea dirt on pet bedding, carpets or rugs.

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 home and reproduce in an astounding rate before you even receive your first bite.

Fleas are among the most common pest problems that Australian homes encounter. Even those without pets can still experience pest infestation especially if previous owners of your property kept dogs or cats. Fleas may also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rabbits, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs. With or without pets, everyone is vulnerable to the disturbance caused by fleas.

Their presence does not only trigger goosebumps but as well the fear of getting 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.

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 entire property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and flooring. Larvae often lurk deep within 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’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 eliminate adult fleas, but also their eggs and larvae. The larvae feed on adult flea feces and other organic matter, which collect in matters such as 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 house because the fleas will still be alive.

Groom your pets often with a flea comb and wash their beds each week (preferably 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.
