Wanneer ons aan vlooie en bosluise dink, dink ons dikwels aan warm somerdae wanneer hierdie lastige parasiete o\u00ebnskynlik in hul element is. Maar die werklikheid is dat hierdie klein, bytende peste ook gedurende die koue maande aktief kan wees \u2013 veral in ons streek se unieke winterre\u00ebnklimaat.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In ‘n gebied soos die Weskus en Swartland, waar re\u00ebnval in die winter voorkom en temperature selde tot uiterstes daal, oorleef vlooie en bosluise maklik op en rondom ons troeteldiere \u2013 \u00e9n binne ons huise. Dit beteken dat troeteldier-eienaars hul waaksaamheid nie net vir die somer hoef te bewaar nie, maar reg deur die jaar aandag aan voorkomende behandeling en skoonmaak moet gee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vlooie en bosluise se lewensiklus Vlooie het verskillende fases \u2013 eier, larwe en volwasse vlooi. Volwasse vlooie l\u00ea honderde eiers wat in matte, kombersies, krake in vloere en selfs motorsitplekke beland. In warm, vogtige toestande broei hulle vinnig uit, maar selfs in koeler weer kan hulle aanhou ontwikkel \u2013 veral in huise met verwarmers.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bosluise, aan die ander kant, heg hulself aan ‘n gasheer (soos jou hond of kat) en voed op bloed. Hulle verkies warm, beskutte plekke soos die ore, nek, tussen tone en onder die stert. Hoewel sommige bosluisspesies in die winter minder aktief raak, is ander die hele jaar aanwesig \u2013 veral in gebiede met gematigde winters. Broeiplek in huis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In die koue maande bring troeteldiere meer tyd binnenshuis deur \u2013 en saam met hulle bring hulle ook hul ongewenste metgeselle. Sodra ‘n volwasse vlooi op jou hond of kat spring, begin sy eiers l\u00ea wat in jou huis val. Matte, stoffering en selfs jou bed raak maklik besmet en omdat vlooilarwes maande lank dormant kan bly, kan ‘n enkele besmetting later tot ‘n hele plaag lei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dis veral in huise wat dikwels warm gehou word met vuurmaak, toe vensters en minder gereelde skoonmaak waar vlooie en bosluise vinnig kan versprei. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sonder gereelde toegang tot veeartsenydienste of doeltreffende plaagdoders, raak hierdie huishoudelike peste soms onbeheer.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gevolge vir troeteldiere \u00e9n mense<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Vlooibyte veroorsaak nie net jeuk en ongemak nie \u2013 dit kan tot ernstige velprobleme, allergiese reaksies en selfs bloedarmoede by jong of klein diere lei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bosluise dra siektes oor soos babesiose (rooiwater) en ehrlichiose, wat lewensgevaarlik kan wees as dit nie behandel word nie. Hierdie siektes word deur bloedparasiete veroorsaak en kan simptome soos koors, lusteloosheid en verlies aan eetlus meebring. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vir mense hou vlooibyte nie net fisieke ongemak in nie, maar ook die gevaar van infeksie as dit gekrap word. In gevalle van ernstige besmetting kan selfs kinders se gesondheid be\u00efnvloed word \u2013 veral di\u00e9 met asma of allergie\u00eb.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Voorkoming<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hier volg praktiese wenke \u2013 selfs vir huishoudings met beperkte hulpbronne:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Gebruik vlooi- en bosluisbehandelings soos druppels, halsbande of mondelikse medikasie. Baie diereklinieke en organisasies soos die plaaslike dierebeskermingsvereniging bied bekostigbare opsies of gratis behandeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. As jy nie toegang het tot kommersi\u00eble produkte nie, kan gereelde bad met louwater en sagte dierevriendelike seep help om volwasse vlooie te verwyder. Droog die dier deeglik af en kam daarna met ‘n fynkam.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Was jou troeteldier se komberse, beddegoed en speelgoed gereeld. Stryk dit indien moontlik met ‘n warm yster om eiers en larwes te vernietig. Stofsuig matte, rusbanke en vloerkrake deeglik \u2013 en maak die stofsuigsak buite die huis leeg.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. ‘n Oplossing van water en wit asyn kan gebruik word om vloere en troeteldiergebiede af te vee. Dit verdryf vlooie en help om eiers te vernietig.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Krap jou troeteldier baie? Is daar swart “gruis” op hul vel (vlooimis)? Of is daar klein bobbeltjies in hul ore of tussen hul tone (bosluise)? Moenie wag nie \u2013 begin onmiddellik behandeling en raadpleeg ‘n dierewelsynsorganisasie indien jy onseker is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wees waaksaam en deurlopend verantwoordelik.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Troeteldiere wat aanhoudend weens ‘n vlooi- of bosluisbesmetting jeuk of siek word, ly in stilte. Met eenvoudige maar voortdurende versorging, skoonmaak en voorkoming kan ons hierdie lastige peste baasraak \u2013 en ons geliefde diere gesond en gelukkig hou.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Troeteldiere wat aanhoudend weens ‘n vlooi- of bosluisbesmetting jeuk of siek word, ly in
