Fleas (cat and dog fleas)
Fleas are wingless insects that have mouth parts which are adapted for piercing skin and sucking blood.
- They have long legs with their hind pair well adapted for jumping.
- Fleas will feed off a number of warm-blooded mammals such as humans, dogs and cats.
- The bite of a flea can be extremely itchy and form small red bumps typically around your feet and lower legs.
With fleas feeding on a range of hosts, diseases are able to be transferred from one host to another. Fleas are well known for transmitting a variety of viral and bacterial diseases to humans and animals.

Tick Identification
Check your pets! Wet weather preceding warmer temperatures is the ideal time for ticks to be out in force.
Australian Tick Identification Chart
Ticks can harm both humans and pets.
They’re only a couple millimetres in size, making them hard to see. Even if they’re biting you, they’re difficult to detect, as they secrete an aesthetic into their host before latching on. If this happens, the tick may cause a skin irritation or allergic reaction, possibly alerting you to their presence a few days after you’ve been bitten.
Ticks also transmit a wide variety of pathogens, most notably Lyme Disease, Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis, or Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness. Fortunately, Lyme Disease is extremely rare in Australia.
