How To Protect Your Pet From Fleas?

Fleas can carry a series of different diseases. Flea brings parasites that can be harmful to animals, and they are often linked to severe skin allergies in some people. Below are some tips you can follow to protect your pet from fleas.

Suck up the suckers.

Vacuum at least once per day until you know the fleas are gone. Their small bodies make them vulnerable to the sucking power of the vacuum and regular vacuuming is the best thing you can do to keep their numbers down.

Consult A Vet

Take your pets into a veterinarian and have them treated for fleas. Once your vet diagnoses your pet with fleas, they will provide you with an overview of your treatment options. Whilst they're being treated, vacuum the car and clean any material in the car the pet had contact with.

Treating Pets and the Home

A pest control service can handle the house, including carpets, furniture, and in cracks and crevices. Wash or replace any pet bedding or mats, and clean out kennels to eliminate any flea eggs or lava.

If you are concerned about fleas in your home or business, contact the pest control team at Flick Anticimex. For more information visit https://www.flick.com.au/blog/help-my-pets-got-fleas-what-do-i-do-now/
