Summer Flea Invasions

Experts On Flea Control In Sydney

You will be much more likely to suffer an invasion during the summer months (Oct-March), as they thrive in warm and humid weather. However, it is possible to have a flea problem at any time of the year, so keep an eye out and remain vigilant.

If you’re worried that you might have said problem, please do not hesitate to contact us immediately. In the meantime, we would recommend inspecting your pets’ fur closely and keep an eye out for small brown insects approx. 2.5mm in length. If you can’t see any of their present, grab a wet paper towel and gently grab a tuft of fur. Upon inspecting the wet paper towel, if you notice little reddish-brown stains, then that’s a clear sign that fleas are present, as they leave blood residue behind.

Flea Pest Control FAQ’s

Fleas can be a terrible nuisance for both you and your furry friends – and here at Expert Pest Control, we understand the frustration an infestation can cause! Let’s have a quick look at some of the most frequently asked questions…

How can I tell if I have fleas in my home?

There are a few tell-tale signs of the infestation, including:

  • Your pet scratching excessively: If your pet is constantly scratching, biting, or chewing at their fur, it could be a sign.
  • Flea bites on yourself or your pets: Flea bites appear as small, red bumps, often clustered around the ankles, feet, and lower back.
  • Seeing live ones on your pet or in your home: Adult fleas are small (around 2-3mm long), reddish-brown insects that can be difficult to spot. However, you might see them jumping on your pet or furniture.
  • Flea dirt (flea faeces): the dirt looks like tiny black specks, often found on your pet’s fur, bedding, or carpeting. You can try combing your pet’s fur over a white sheet of paper to see if any flea dirt falls off.

While flea bites can be itchy and uncomfortable, they can also pose some health risks:

  • Skin irritation and allergies: The bites can cause intense itching and irritation for both humans and pets. Some pets may develop allergies to flea bites, leading to more severe skin problems.
  • Tapeworms: If your pet ingests just one of them while grooming, they can contract tapeworms.
  • Disease transmission (rare): In rare cases, fleas can transmit diseases like typhus and murine typhus to humans and pets.

Getting rid of fleas requires a multi-pronged approach:

  • Treat your pet: It’s crucial to treat your pet with veterinarian-recommended medication. This could be a topical treatment, pill, or injection.
  • Wash your pet’s bedding: Wash all your pet’s bedding, blankets, and toys in hot water (at least 50°C) to kill fleas and eggs.
  • Vacuum thoroughly: Vacuum your carpets, rugs, and upholstery thoroughly, paying particular attention to areas where your pet spends a lot of time. Dispose of the vacuum cleaner bag immediately after use.
  • Treat your home: Use a pet-safe flea spray or fogger to treat your home environment. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully or for peace of mind, call professionals for assistance.

While DIY methods can be effective for mild infestations, there are several advantages to hiring a professional control service:

  • Expertise and experience: Professional technicians have the knowledge and experience necessary to identify the source of the the infestation and implement the most effective treatment plan.
  • Safe and effective products: Professionals have access to professional-grade flea control products that are not available to the public. These products are more potent and effective at eliminating fleas at all stages of their life cycle.
  • Thorough treatment: Professionals will thoroughly treat your entire home, thus ensuring all fleas and eggs are eradicated.
  • Peace of mind: Hiring a professional gives you peace of mind; knowing the job is done right and your flea problem will be resolved quickly and effectively.
