Fleas are tiny pests that are usually found on the fur coat of dogs and cats. Since fleas are very small, they are not so visible to the naked eye, which makes them difficult to detect. Compared to their body size, these pests have long legs that allow them to jump quite high.
Fleas are bloodsuckers that feed on the blood of animals, especially household pets. They usually reach your property riding on the back on the pets. If you suspect a flea infestation in your home or office, don’t ignore the problem at all.
Here are some measures you should follow to deal with these stubborn pests:
- Bathe your pet with a flea exterminating shampoo or lotion. Spray a pest repellent on their fur coat to keep all sort of pests away. Consult your vet to know about the best flea control products.
- Keep the clutter away and ensure cleanliness all around. Since fleas can jump around anywhere, it’s advised to clean everything, right from the carpets, to furniture, and wood floor. Try using a vacuum cleaner with a beater brush that can help in killing the fleas. This will not only help in getting rid of living fleas but also removes their eggs.
- These are many trees and shrubs that are known to have pest repelling properties. Try planting them at your home if you have any open space. If not, keep flea repellent substances, such as tea tree oil and eucalyptus leaves in the interiors to deter their population.
- Always inspect the foreign objects or second-hand items before bringing them into your home. You never know where a flea may be resting, that’s why always stay on a safe side and inspect each and every item before getting inside.
