Fleas and ticks often turn up in the same Brisbane homes, especially where there are dogs and cats or where wildlife moves through the garden. Flea control treats the fleas living in the house and yard, not on the animal itself. The crew we book treats carpets, rugs, floorboard gaps and pet sleeping spots indoors, plus shaded ground outside where flea larvae grow. Older Queenslanders with timber floors and gaps between boards are a common spot for fleas to hide.
Only a small share of fleas are on your pet at any time. The rest are eggs, larvae and pupae hiding in carpet, bedding, furniture and damp soil under the house or deck. Treating the house and yard together gives a far better result than treating just one, and it cuts down the chance of fleas coming back quickly.
- Treatment of carpets, rugs and floorboard gaps
- Attention to pet beds, couches and favourite sleeping spots
- Spraying of shaded yard areas and the ground under the house
- Plain instructions for vacuuming before and after the visit
- The option to add a tick treatment for the yard
Before the crew arrives, vacuum all floors, wash pet bedding on a hot cycle and clear items off the floor so the edges can be reached. Keep vacuuming for the next couple of weeks, as that helps bring out any fleas still developing. Flea treatment for the pets themselves is a matter for your vet, so try to line that up at the same time.
