How to Identify a Flea Infestation
Early signs of a flea infestation will allow you to counteract the problem before it escalates. Common indications of fleas in the household include the following:
- Flea Bites: Small red itchy spots, usually around ankles, feet, and lower legs.
- Pet Scratching: If pets are biting and scratching excessively, this might be an indication of fleas.
- Visible Fleas: Check to see if your pet has any fleas jumping around in its fur or small black specks (flea droppings) in its bedding.
- Warm Lamp Trick: Fleas are attracted to heat. So, by putting a warm lamp inside your room, you may actually find jumping fleas in the light.

Why Fleas Are Bad for Your Home and Your Health
While fleas have not yet been reported to be vectors of diseases that may affect human beings, their bites inflict a lot of suffering and health risks not only on human beings but also on pets:
- Skin Irritation & Allergies: Flea bites will cause the skin to irritate with the potential of causing hypersensitivity dermatitis.
- Tapeworms: The pet picks up the fleas, which can cause tapeworm infection.
- Anaemia: In extreme cases, especially in young animals, the blood loss sustained from flea bites can lead to anaemia.
