Pestserve (http://www.pestserve.co.uk/) is very pleased to share the basic information about fleas and the common signs that they are imposing a problem on your home. The information can be used by homeowners to re-valuate and reassess their houses.

According to Pestserve, flea infestation is rare to humans, however, household pets are very prone to this. In the UK, cat fleas are more common than dog fleas. Usually, fleas are brown in colour and have flat sides. They grow up to 2mm. Although fleas may not vastly affect humans, they can cause great discomfort to pets. The presence of fleas can make a home seem uninhabitable.

There are 3 signs to know if you have a flea problem. The first sign is if your pet is scratching more than normal. Since fleas bite, it can cause severe itchiness to your pet. Second sign is if there are flea droppings or dirt. These flea dirt or dropping usually look like black pepper. It can commonly be found on your pet’s skin or bedding. And lastly, if there are fleas crawling on your pet’s skin and fur. As said earlier, fleas don’t greatly affect humans. But there are some who can have severe allergic reaction to flea bites which can cause their skin to become red and inflamed.

Fleas are persistent pests. If there are old birds’ nests within your house, remove it right away as it can be a source of fleas. They are also quite difficult to exterminate since the eggs need to be eradicated too, not just the adult fleas. However, you don’t need to trouble yourself with lots of suffocating chemicals, different pet shampoos and soaps to eliminate your problem as Pestserve has the best approach to remove these pesky pests.
