If you are a pet owner, you may have come across the nuisance that is fleas.
With many pet owners treating their pets, it can be difficult to understand why many people still have flea infestations problems.
It would appear that the spread of flea infestations across the country is as a result to two factors:
- Weather – recent warm summers, with milder winters, have thought to have contributed to the flea population increasing meaning more people and animals are affected
- Flea treatments- whilst some people suggest that fleas have developed a resilience to treatments, scientists say that this is not the case but rather that we have not been using it correctly.
As well as being distressing, flea infestations in the home can be nuisance and requires a holistic approach to treatment; pets needs treating, soft furnishings needs treating and anything that can be washed will need to be!
Think you have a flea problem? Fleas hop as well as scuttle about, often undetected in soft furnishing and animals, but they do leave traces behind. Small, black 'scrapings' are often signs of fleas as well as humans being bitten, in a random fashion, often around the ankles and legs, but can be anywhere on the body.
