As the temperatures rise in Beirut, fleas become more active and not just for outdoor cats. In fact, indoor cats are far from safe. Fleas are expert hitchhikers: they can cling to human clothing or shoes and be carried into your home, quickly making their way onto your feline friend.
How Fleas Outwit Us Indoors
-
Hitching a ride: Fleas jump onto people or pets and sneak inside.
-
Multiplying fast: A single female flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day, contaminating your carpets and furniture.
-
Hiding in plain sight: Eggs and pupae can linger in fabrics, waiting weeks or months to mature.
🧹 Detection & Prevention: Comb, Groom, Clean
1. Grooming Comb Inspection
Regular use of your Grooming Comb isn’t just for looks. it’s a critical tool for detecting fleas. Comb gently through your cat’s fur especially around the neck, belly, and tail base to spot adult fleas or flea dirt (tiny black specks). Dip the comb in soapy water to kill any fleas on contact.
2. Deep Clean the Home
-
Vacuum thoroughly carpets, upholstery, pet bedding.
-
Wash soft fabrics in hot water to kill fleas at all stages.
-
Repeat weekly. flea pupae can survive hidden for weeks.
