Fleas can take over a home quickly in the warm, humid months in Brisbane. Most people notice them when they get bitten around the ankles or see the pet scratching more than usual. Fleas are also common in homes where a pet has lived before, as eggs and larvae can sit in carpet and floor gaps for weeks and hatch when someone walks through.
A flea treatment targets the places where fleas breed and develop, not just the adult fleas you can see. When you call, we ask about the floor types in the home, whether there are pets, and whether the yard needs treating as well. The crew we book then treats carpets, rugs, the gaps in floorboards and the areas where pets sleep, and can treat shaded parts of the yard where fleas live outside.
- Treatment of carpets, rugs and floorboard gaps
- Attention to pet bedding areas, under furniture and along skirting boards
- Treatment of shaded yard areas, under decks and along fence lines
- Clear steps on vacuuming and washing before and after the visit
- Suits homes with pets and homes where a pet has recently left
Getting the home ready makes a big difference. Before the crew arrives, vacuum all floors, including under beds and couches, and throw out the vacuum bag or empty the canister into an outside bin. Wash pet bedding on a hot cycle. Pets should be treated for fleas by a vet around the same time, or the problem can come straight back.
Owners of rental properties in Brisbane often book a flea treatment when a home that had pets is being readied for new occupants. It is normal to see some fleas for a week or two afterwards as new ones hatch and meet the treatment. Call 07 3543 7770 to book and we will give you the price upfront.
