Flea Treatment on the Gold Coast
Getting rid of the fleas
Fleas survive by feeding on the blood of their hosts. Hosts include humans, cats, rats, birds, wildlife, and so on.These pests are tiny wingless insects that pass through four life stages. From egg to larva, then pupa to adult.
Once they reach adulthood, fleas favor larger animals to smaller ones in order to get sufficient bloody supply to feed on. Therefore, it’s no surprise that as they age, fleas tend to to leave their four-legged hosts (dogs and cats) for two-legged ones (humans).
Apart from the obvious irritation caused by their bites and the horror of them crawling everywhere, fleas are known to carry diseases that affect humans. Such include the plague, typhus, flea-borne fever, and tapeworms that are particularly harmful to infants and babies.
How Fleas Enter the Home
Having pets is a beautiful thing, but unfortunately, these pets serve as potential hosts for fleas.Although fleas are typically most likely to be found in houses with pets, the possibility of a home without pets being infested by fleas cannot be ruled out. Ways that pet-free homes can still get fleas include:
How We Solve Flea Problems
Fleas are very tiny insects, which makes finding, identifying and eliminating them a challenge.At Proper Pest Control Gold Coast, our technicians are trained in identifying signs of flea activity, and treating infestations and outbreaks as they occur – to keep your home free of fleas.
We don’t only focus on the inside of your home – outside areas are equally important as candidates for treatment, because the outdoors serve as the major portal of entry for these pests.
The various processes by which we aim to get your houses and apartments devoid of fleas include:
Use of chemicals: We use chemicals designed to interrupt the life cycle and to get rid of fleas at whatever stage they may be.
Use of high heat and soap: In areas where chemical treatment may not be suitable, we can use a combination of extreme heat and soap-like substances to control adult populations.
Spotting areas where fleas might be breeding - like bedding and cupboards – then paying particular attention to treat these.
It is recommend that pet owners bring their pets to the vet's office to get checked thoroughly and treated for fleas – and to ensure they regularly bathe and groom their pets to prevent the opportunity for future infestation.
Our flea busting technicians are usually available within a few days notice – so we invite you to call now to book your service.
