Fleas can build up quickly in Brisbane during the warm, humid months. Bites around the ankles and a pet that will not stop scratching are the usual first signs. Fleas are also common in homes where a pet has lived in the past, as eggs and pupae can wait in carpet and floor gaps for weeks before hatching when people walk through.
Flea control goes after every stage of the flea life cycle, not just the adults. When you call, we ask about the flooring, whether there are pets, and whether the yard needs treating too. The crew we book then treats carpets, rugs, floorboard gaps and the areas where pets sleep, and can treat shaded outdoor spots where fleas breed.
- Carpets, rugs and gaps between floorboards
- Pet sleeping areas, under beds and along skirting boards
- Shaded yard areas, under decks and along fence lines
- A treatment that targets eggs and larvae as well as adult fleas
- Plain steps on vacuuming and washing before and after
Getting ready matters. Vacuum every floor before the crew arrives, including under furniture and along edges, and empty the vacuum into an outside bin. Wash pet bedding on a hot cycle. Have your pets treated for fleas by a vet around the same time, or they can bring fleas straight back into the home.
Owners of rental homes in Brisbane often book flea control when a home that had pets is empty and ready for new occupants. After treatment, keep vacuuming every day or two for a couple of weeks, as the vibration brings out newly hatched fleas that then meet the treatment.
