Fleas can take over a home quickly, especially in warm, humid weather. In Essendon, they usually come in on dogs and cats, but they also turn up when people move into a house or unit where the last tenants had pets. Fleas can wait in carpets and floorboard gaps for weeks, then jump onto the first person or animal that walks past.
A flea treatment covers every stage of the flea life cycle. The crew we book sprays carpets, rugs, floorboards and the places pets sleep with a treatment made to stop eggs and larvae from growing into adults. Shaded parts of the yard and the subfloor of older homes can be treated too, since that is where fleas often breed.
- Inside spray on carpets, rugs and hard floors
- Treatment of pet sleeping areas and furniture edges
- Yard treatment in shaded, sheltered spots
- Subfloor treatment where it can be reached
- Advice on preparing the home before the visit
When you call, tell us about your pets and which rooms are affected. We give you upfront pricing on the phone and book a nearby independent crew. Before the visit, vacuum all floors well, including gaps between floorboards, wash pet bedding on a hot cycle and pick up toys, shoes and anything else on the floor. Ask your vet about treating your pets at the same time, or the fleas may come straight back.
Keep vacuuming daily for a couple of weeks after the treatment, as the vibration makes the last fleas hatch out and meet the treatment. Empty the vacuum outside each time. For flea treatment anywhere in Essendon, call 03 7053 9854 to book.
