Having four pets under one roof is crazy, fun and worrisome in many ways. While the kids enjoy fur company to the fullest, we always have to be careful that the pets are not getting in contact with services that could be having fleas on them. This is particularly stressful when we are out and the pets are playing in the wild. And I must say that we take our pets to the vet and a pet parlour for grooming regularly and things have been good until one day when the vet told us something that had shivers run down our spine. Our pets had a flea problem.
We initially didn't think much of it because we thought that natural flea treatment could help. So we were using pet shampoos on them regularly, brushing their fur coats in the hope that we could take control of the situation as early as possible.
It did work out for a few weeks
But the fleas were back again
We had absolutely no idea what to do and kept going with the natural flea treatment Shepparton sources had said we should be trying.
It would work out for a week and then our pets would exhibit the same flea related symptoms. It was frustrating and we weren't sure what to do.
That's when we consulted our vet.
An Eye-opening Vet Appointment
When we went to the vet, our pets were very distressed and were in immense trouble due to the flea situation. They would scratch, show aggression (even the calmest pet did that) and we didn't know what was happening. Their appetites had changed and no matter what we would do, nothing seemed to help.
When we were at the vet's office, our pets got examined and we were shocked to learn that their fur was deeply infested with fleas. There were larvae, eggs and giant fleas roaming through the fur and feeding on the pet’s blood. It was a nightmare.
The vet decided to trim the fur coat and gave us anti-flea shampoo that would help our pets get rid f the flea infestation. The other natural flea treatment our Shepparton doctor advised us was to get our home thoroughly cleaned. Adn by cleaning, he had met pest control.
Calling Total Pest Control, yet again!
We recently had termite protection done for our Shepparton home from Total Pest Control and during our consultation with them, they also had suggested that we should get flea removal processes done. We back then didn’t know how serious the pest problem can be. Thankfully, we had someone to bank on to.
We got in touch with Total Pest Control and they were quick to respond.
Here’s how they took control of the flea situation:
A thorough inspection of our living space to eradicate eggs that might be latching onto furniture fabrics
They used eco-friendly child and pet safe products that didn’t leave any residue behind
Deep cleaning of the garden to determine possible flea infestation and termite infestation
It has been months since Total Pest Control experts eradicate flea infestation from our living space. It is noteworthy that Total Pest Control also offers a leading provider of pest control Bendigo, Raywood and Nagambie.
