Ticks and fleas often turn up in the same homes, so the crews we book for tick control in Brisbane also handle fleas. Fleas are a different kind of problem. They spend most of their life off the pet, as eggs, larvae and pupae tucked away in carpet, rugs, pet bedding and shady soil. Treating only where you see adult fleas tends to miss most of them.
When you call, tell us which rooms are affected, what flooring you have, and whether the fleas also seem to be outside. We give you upfront pricing on the phone and book a nearby independent crew at a time that suits you. The crew treats the house and, where needed, the yard.
A flea treatment usually covers these areas.
- Carpets, rugs and the edges of rooms
- Under beds, couches and other furniture
- Pet beds and the floor around them
- Gaps between timber floorboards
- Shady yard spots and under-house areas where pets lie
Getting ready makes a big difference. Vacuum every floor, including under furniture and along skirting boards, then empty the vacuum into an outside bin. Wash pet bedding, throw rugs and cushion covers on a hot wash. Pick up clothes, toys and shoes from the floor. Keep pets and people out of treated rooms until the crew says they are dry.
Flea pupae can sit in carpet for weeks and hatch later, so it is normal to see a few fleas after a treatment. Keep vacuuming daily to bring them out. Some homes need a second visit, and it is priced upfront. Your pets need their own flea plan from your vet. Call 07 3543 7773 to book flea treatment in Brisbane.
