Like most pests, fleas are not easy to find and deal with due to their size. These pests have a different behavioural pattern than most pests. Our Brisbane’s flea control team has dealt with these pests at both residential and commercial properties. Fleas are not known for biting humans but they do bite cats and dogs.

Dog fleas live in the fur of dogs and thrive on the diet of dog blood. These fleas are also known to bite humans. They are brown in colour but develop a black shade after a meal. Dog fleas are about 1mm to 4mm in size. We recommend professional help immediately if you see even one of these fleas.

1. Fleas do not usually bite humans but when they do, the bite is known to cause breathing problems, skin infections, swollen mouth, face, lips or hands.
2. Fleas can cause diseases like tapeworms in your pets.
3. Fleas also cause Flea Allergic Dermatitis in pets. This condition causes a lot of discomfort and hair loss for your pets.
4. Anaemia in cats is caused by fleas as well. If it’s not treated in time, it can endanger the life of your pet.

Fleas can infest your pets as soon as your dog or cat comes near them. These pests are in many places like gardens, roads, playgrounds, or in your backyard. Fleas are attracted to healthy pets.
