Flea Control Canberra – How to get rid of Fleas

There are over 70-80 species of fleas in Australia, the cat flea & the dog flea being the most common. They are black or sometimes brown in colour and about 1-6mm in length. Cat fleas are much more common, which are found upon dogs and cats.

Grass Fleas and Sand Fleas

Fact or fiction – one of the little known facts is that there are “sand fleas” and “grass fleas”. All fleas live off hosts, and could not survive just living in grass or sand without a host. The real fact is that culprits are cat fleas lying in these places after their pet has shaken off onto the ground.

One of the best ways to get rid of fleas is to regularly wash your pets in a safe, residual flea shampoo. Regular house cleaning that includes vacuuming flea-infested areas helps, but in most cases of heavy infestations, you will need to call on the services of a professional pest controller.
