Flea Control

If you have pets, then you will know when you have a flea infestation.

Those itchy bites that appear on your ankles are due to the fleas jumping on to the nearest warm surface to feed.

Finding you have a flea infestation can be very upsetting, as it is associated in some people's minds with having an unclean pet or home.

This is not the case at all, as animals can easily pick up fleas when they are out and about and transport them into your home without anybody realising.

Rest assured, a flea infestation does not reflect on your home or your pet.

Flea Facts

Fleas, as we all know, feed on blood. Their preferred hosts are pets – cats and dogs are unable to rid themselves of the parasite unaided.

They also enjoy human blood, as anybody who has a pet will testify. It may surprise you to know that a flea can jump up to 25 cm and therefore finds it easy to jump up on to your legs as you pass by.

A flea can live up to 100 days. But during their lifetime, if they have a partner, they will have produced as many as 500 young. It is clearly wise to rid yourself of these parasites as soon as you can to prevent a chronic infestation.

Do It Yourself Flea Control

Many people start by trying to control a flea problem by themselves, using off-the-shelf products. By all means try these measures, but in our experience they are of limited value.

It is hard to spray in all the areas a flea might be hiding and short of drenching your home in cans of expensive spray, you stand little chance of solving the problem. It is better to tackle the problem by professional means, since flea infestations can be very stubborn to shift. It makes sense to vacuum around your pet's bedding and wash everything in the area thoroughly.

Vacuum along skirting boards and give your pet a flea treatment during the time you are trying to eradicate the problem. This should prevent any surviving fleas from returning to your pets during treatment.
