Flea Control in Bondi
Flea infestations aren't as uncommon as people think them to be. In fact, people with pets know exactly how wary they are about this issue. It's why they regularly check their pet's fur for fleas. There are times when even homes that don't have any pets will have flea infestations. If you move into a house that previously had pets, that space might have fleas too. These creatures may also be carried on a number of other hairy animals such as mice, rats, rabbits and foxes.
Fleas are parasites and the primary reason for the concern about finding them on your property, comes from the fact that they bite. The bites aren't really painful, but they do tend to leave behind a rash or an itch. At times, pets tend to develop an allergy to flea saliva. Since fleas are very tiny, most people aren't aware that their home has fleas in the first place.
Signs of a Flea Infestation
That is also how the infestation tends to get out of control before you actually notice it. Like any other pest control, the best way to control an infestation is to tackle it in time, before it becomes very severe. Here are some signs that will help you recognise that a flea problem exists on your property:
- Fleas crawling on your dog/cat's coat
- These creatures are around 2mm in length and reddish brown in colour
- Fleas tend to live around the neck and hind quarter areas of pets. If you feel they may have fleas, these are the places you should be looking at.
- Your pet's skin might have fine black droppings on it. This is flea faeces which looks a lot like black pepper powder.
- You might notice flea dirt on rugs, carpets and beddings too
