The symptoms of flea bites turned out to be like this

Fleas are insects that are more likely to grow on small animals. Not only will they make our pets feel uncomfortable, they can also be transmitted to us and endanger our health. Therefore, understanding the symptoms of flea bites is something that people who love to raise small animals must know.

1. Symptoms of flea bites

Dark red spots of varying sizes, raised above the skin, will appear at the site of the bite. People with skin allergies will have a larger area, with obvious red spots and mouthparts marks of flea bites in the center, and the itching is unbearable and lasts for several days.

2. Methods of killing fleas:

1. The main measure to eliminate fleas is to continuously use some high-efficiency and low-toxic insecticides while cleaning the pet's body surface.

2. After spraying the pesticide, leave the scene immediately. After 2 hours, open the doors and windows to ventilate the room thoroughly before entering.

3. Chlorhexidine and cypermethrin can be used to kill fleas because they have extremely strong contact and stomach poison effects. They can be directly diluted with water and sprayed. They are fast-acting and long-lasting, and can quickly reduce the number of free fleas on the ground. Cypermethrin also has a certain ovicidal effect.

3. Thoroughly clean and tidy up the living environment

1. Clean up the indoor environment, remove debris, and use lime or putty to seal the gaps in the bed boards where fleas are likely to breed. Pay attention to personal hygiene, wash clothes, mosquito nets, and bed sheets frequently to control flea breeding.

2. Bed frames, bed boards and other items where fleas are breeding can be moved outdoors and exposed to the sun together with quilts, pillows, clothes, etc. And turn it over frequently so that fleas can escape due to the high temperature.

3. Clothes, mosquito nets, bed sheets, and pillowcases that are infested with fleas can be soaked in boiling water. For clothes that cannot be soaked in boiling water, you can soak them in disinfectant powder or laundry detergent for half an hour. After the operation, they must be washed clean before use.

4. Livestock should be kept separate from humans and must be cleaned, disinfected, and pest-free regularly.

Because fleas not only carry a large number of pathogens, but for people with allergies, flea bites may cause some skin diseases. Especially in summer, if you have pets such as cats and dogs at home, if the pets are not clean, they will breed fleas and other parasites, which can easily cause seasonal eczema after biting the human body. Therefore, if you find fleas, you must eliminate them completely.
