Flea infestations are a common problem in homes and businesses across Australia. They are a nuisance that no one wants to deal with. Even though they mostly feed on pets, such as cats and dogs, they will happily bite humans too. Their bites can cause allergic reactions and irritation. They hide in carpets, bedding and furniture, waiting for a blood meal. Flea infestations spread rapidly and are extremely difficult to eliminate on your own.

What are fleas?

Fleas are tiny wingless insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. They are parasites that live on the exterior of the host. Due to their ability to jump long distances, fleas are extremely difficult to catch. They have multiple life stages including eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. Their lifecycle allows them to quickly reproduce and infest homes. In fact, females lay up to 50 eggs a day, which can disperse anywhere that your pet moves, so an outbreak doesn’t take long to happen.

Flea bites carry infections. They cause skin irritations, itching and and discomfort, and can trigger allergies in both pets and humans. They thrive in carpets, rugs, furniture and pet bedding.
