Fleas can take over a home quickly, especially in the warm, humid months in South Brisbane. They usually arrive on pets, but they can also be waiting in a rental you have just moved into, left behind by a previous tenant's dog or cat. Adult fleas are only a small part of the problem. Most of the population is eggs, larvae and pupae sitting in carpets, floor gaps, pet bedding and shady parts of the yard.
A flea treatment targets all those stages. The crew we book treats floors, carpets and rugs inside, and the shaded areas outside where pets rest, such as under the house, decks and garden beds. The treatment usually includes a product that stops young fleas from growing into adults, which breaks the breeding cycle.
- Treatment of carpets, rugs, floorboards and gaps along skirting boards
- Attention to pet sleeping areas and furniture pets use
- Treatment of shaded yard areas, under decks and under the house
- A short list of what to do before and after the visit
- A reminder to line up pet flea treatment with your vet
Before the crew arrives, vacuum every floor well, including under beds and couches, and empty the vacuum outside. Wash pet bedding in hot water and pick up items from the floor. Pets should be treated by your vet and kept out of treated areas until floors are dry. For about two weeks after the visit, keep vacuuming each day, because the vibration brings pupae out of their cases so they meet the treatment. For bites or any health worry, ask a doctor.
