Fleas usually arrive on a cat or dog, but they can also be waiting in a home you have just moved into, hatching once they sense movement and warmth. Most people in South Brisbane first notice small, itchy bites around the ankles or see their pet scratching more than usual. Humid Brisbane summers help flea eggs and larvae develop quickly in carpets, rugs and pet bedding.
A flea treatment works well when the home and the pets are dealt with together. Before the visit, ask your vet about treating your animals, as the crew we book deals with the home itself. The crew will treat the floors and the areas your pets rest in, both inside and out. A flea visit usually covers:
- Carpets, rugs and floorboards with gaps
- Under beds, couches and other furniture
- Pet bedding areas and favourite resting spots
- Laundries and garages where pets sleep
- Shaded garden areas and under decks
To prepare, vacuum every floor, including under furniture and along the edges, and empty the vacuum bag or canister into an outside bin straight away. Wash pet bedding in hot water, pick up toys and clothes from the floor, and keep pets away from the home until treated areas are dry. After the visit, keep vacuuming daily for a couple of weeks, as the vibration encourages remaining eggs to hatch and meet the treatment.
You hear the price before the crew starts, based on the size of your South Brisbane home and the outdoor areas involved. To book a flea treatment, call 07 3543 7772 and we will line up a nearby crew.
