Fleas are tiny and can be difficult to notice in the fur of dogs and cats, or the carpet of your home, but did you know that these little parasites are also a major health risk. Fleas are carriers of disease agents – transmitting diseases such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Ehrlichia. Keep your family safe, contact Safeguard Pest Control today for expert flea treatment.

What are fleas?

Fleas are arachnids, more closely related to spiders and scorpions than insects. If you identify these creepy little creatures in your home, be sure to contact a professional to assist you in eradicating the problem quickly.

Where do fleas live?

There are about 850 flea species and most of them are capable of transmitting harmful diseases. They make people’s skin crawl at the mere mention of them, and unfortunately, they love warmer climates, meaning the Sunshine Coast is an ideal climate for their survival and reproduction.

Fleas can survive tough situations as they love extreme heat and moisture. Fleas tend to live and lay eggs under the carpet and in the corners of rooms. Flea pupae in their cocooned state often survive in the kitchen, basement, and the lawn. Surprisingly, a flea can survive beyond 100 days without feeding if left undisturbed, so it is not wonder they can be so difficult to eradicate. Be sure to call a professional to deal with these blood-suckers, and ensure the safety of your family and pets.

How do they spread?

The reproduction rate of the fleas is quite high. In just 3 weeks, a single flea can pass through its entire life cycle and lays around 1000 eggs. In the next weeks, these eggs hatch and each flea lays 1000 eggs. So basically, the population will explode to reach around 1 million new fleas within 6 weeks.

Flea control and treatment

In such a situation flea control becomes necessary as increasing flea population means an open invitation to diseases. Presence of fleas at your home means a potential risk to the health of your pets, a severe flea infestation has even lead to the death of pets before.  Fleas will feed so extensively on your pets that their red blood cell count decreases leading to anemia, weakness, and ultimately to death if not treated.

If you find your pets scratching their fur, understand that it is the right time for a flea treatment during the summer months of Sunshine Coast.

Safeguard Pest Control provides excellent services and uses professional flea treatment techniques that also fit right into your budget.
