Fleas

Anyone with cats or dogs will know the nuisance fleas can pose and the difficulty involved in exterminating them. That’s why here at Walkers Pest Control we offer a flea specific service for ridding your furry little friends of their parasitic hitchhikers and ultimately, your home.

Fleas can be found pretty much anywhere and have the annoying knack of being extremely difficult to kill let alone see. Soon after emerging from their cocoons fleas will look for a blood meal and once they find this they will feed, mate and lay eggs which will usually consist of 4-8 eggs. This may not sound like much but when you put it in the perspective of they do this every time they feed it results in one flea laying around 400-500 eggs in a lifetime on your poor, unsuspecting pet…that’s a lot of fleas!

Some common rodents found in New Zealand properties are

N

Wash pet bedding regularly and at a temperature above 50°C to guarantee the fleas are killed

N

Place pet beds in areas without carpets or material as this is how the fleas will attempt to spread

N

Vigorously shake or beat pet beds or rugs outdoors so that fleas and eggs will fall off

N

Vacuum carpets and pet bedding (especially) regularly as to remove fleas and their eggs

N

Apply DIY insect products to pets and areas of infestation (be extremely careful as a pest control product used incorrectly can be harmful to your health and even fatal to your pet)
