Top Signs of a Flea Infestation in Your Buckinghamshire Home – Don’t Ignore These Clues
Fleas are more than just a nuisance – they can cause discomfort, allergic reactions, and even spread diseases. If you live in Buckinghamshire, recognising the early signs of a flea problem is essential for quick and effective treatment. At Milton Keynes Pest Controllers, we’ve dealt with countless flea infestations, and we know exactly what to look out for.
1. Persistent Itching in Pets
One of the first indicators of a flea infestation is excessive scratching, biting, or licking in your pets. Fleas feed on blood, causing irritation and itchiness. Check for small red bumps on their skin or signs of hair loss.
2. Flea Dirt on Pet Bedding
Flea dirt (small black specks) is actually flea faeces. You might find it on your pet’s bedding, carpets, or even on your own clothes. When placed on a damp tissue, flea dirt turns red due to the blood it contains.
3. Small Red Bites on Humans
Flea bites on humans typically appear in clusters, often on the legs or ankles. They can be extremely itchy and may swell if scratched.
4. Seeing Fleas Jump
Adult fleas are tiny, brown, and very fast-moving. If you notice small insects jumping on furniture, flooring, or your pet, you likely have an infestation.
5. Unexplained Allergic Reactions
Some people and pets are allergic to flea saliva, leading to severe itching, redness, and inflammation after just a few bites.
