Even if your home is the cleanest, you may still have to deal with fleas. Fleas can travel into your home on your cat or dog. However, they don’t always come from your pets. They can come in through old furniture, clothes and more.
This month’s blog at Critters Pest Control Services looks at how fleas can infest your home. For more information about how you can prevent infestations, call us in Cambridge on 01954 202 477.

Signs of Flea Bites
Flea bites are often found around the feet and ankles. Therefore, they usually go unnoticed when they occur. However, people may experience irritation later on. Flea bites can become extremely itchy and a red, swollen mark can develop. There are plenty over-the-counter creams that can stop irritation.
In addition to this, these pests can lay eggs in your furniture and bedding and spread.

Why They Need Eliminating Quickly
As well as making your pet uncomfortable and the fact they multiply quickly, fleas can also spread parasites and diseases. This is rare but can include:
- Typhus
- Bubonic Plague
- Cat Scratch Disease
If flea infections go undetected, your pet may develop heartworm or tapeworm.
How You can Prevent Fleas
Keeping your home clean and tidy is one way to prevent fleas from getting in. If you purchase any second-hand furniture, ensure it is thoroughly cleaned as soon as it enters your home. Fleas also thrive in both humid and cool areas, so be sure to check anywhere that doesn’t get much sun.
Another prevention is thoroughly cleaning your vacuum and always throw anything machine washable in the washing machine. Things such as cushions, sheets and throw rugs are especially susceptible to flea infestations.
