FAQs
What is a flea infestation's initial indication?
Fleas jumping on your drapes, carpet, or furniture are signs of a flea infestation. There are several dot-like insects in your pet’s fur. In addition, your dog’s excessively scratch, lick, or bite their fur. A flea infestation can also be indicated by a lot of brown and black detritus throughout the fur coat. (This is the flea faeces left behind from a blood feast.)
Infested areas can cause scabs and hair loss in your dogs. In addition, they may acquire pale gums due to blood loss. Flea-infested animals are also more vulnerable to tapeworms, as certain tapeworm species employ fleas as hosts. Therefore, if you find tapeworms in your pet’s faeces, they are infested with fleas.
Fighting a flea infestation might feel overwhelming, but several solutions are at your disposal. An essential thing to remember is to treat your house, yard, and pet all at once, or contact us for an expert flea pest control service provider.
Do flea bites harm you?
Flea bites are an uncomfortable, irritating condition for you and your pets. But they are usually harmless in the end. However, it would be best if you did not scratch your flea bites. Many over the counter or home cures can help you get rid of your itch.
If your bite symptoms linger for more than a few days, or if you develop an allergic response or other symptoms, contact your healthcare professional. You and your pets both suffer from the itching, irritating condition of flea bites.
Through their bites, fleas can transmit illness. Fleas are vectors, living creatures that spread illness from animals to people. Blood is a common way that vectors spread diseases. Bloodsuckers make up a substantial portion of the species categorised as vectors.
How did I get infested with fleas?
On humans, fleas do not survive. Instead, they often leap from an infected pet or other animals, from an infected pet bed, and bite down at the feet, ankles, and legs. Fleas may survive on rodents, animals, and other mammals and birds. Fleas come in 2,500 distinct varieties worldwide.
Some animals’ hair or feathers are what attract fleas to them. They may bury themselves inside their fluffy bodies to both hide and feed. After that, they deposit eggs that hatch after the larval and pupal stages. Your pet may have a flea infection due to this cycle, which may require treatment.
The flea seldom spreads from one body to another. However, an animal or person is more prone to fleas from places where animals congregate and sleep. For example, bringing a pet bed with fleas into a new house might transmit the infestation to other areas.
How long does a flea treatment take?
There are several types of dog flea control solutions, including topicals, flea collars, pills, and sprays. Unfortunately, those all function differently due to the diverse, active substances they each utilise to fight fleas. In addition, depending on the treatment used, assorted products require different amounts of time to kill fleas.
Within 12 to 48 hours, topical flea preventions have been demonstrated to eliminate dogs’ existing flea loads. Oral flea preventions frequently start working within the first two to four hours. Regular skin examinations of your pet to check for ticks are advised, especially in regions where parasite populations are prevalent.
Do not become worried if you see fleas on your pet. These common pests may be effectively eliminated with the correct treatment, frequently in hours. Thankfully, both topical and oral flea preventions work quickly to eradicate infestations.
What is the cost of flea pest control?
For the initial appointment, a flea pest control exterminator typically charges you between $100 and $200. Expect your costs to be greater if you have several locations that need to be treated, a large property, or you reside in a region with an inflated cost of living.
You might choose to have the exterminator return for a second follow-up visit because one visit might not be sufficient. A professional exterminator can help you get rid of fleas for a lot longer than you could with good DIY treatment.
They can be incredibly helpful in maintaining a healthy and flea-free environment for you and your family for a while. For more details, you can contact Tom’s Pest Control Melbourne experts.
What keeps the fleas away?
You may make a flea trap using dish soap and water at home. Fill a plate or basin with a mixture of warm water and dish soap and set it in the rooms of your home where fleas are most active.
Additionally, it is advised to use an herbal flea spray to eradicate fleas from your house. This all-natural flea treatment is safe to use around dogs, kids, and other household items because it is manufactured from non-toxic ingredients.
You should contact our local flea control professional team if you believe you have a flea problem on your land or in your house and want to learn how to get rid of fleas.
