A flea problem usually starts with a pet, a stray cat under the house or moving into a home where animals lived before. In Caboolture, the hot, humid months suit fleas, and numbers can build up in carpets and yards before anyone notices. The first signs are often pets scratching or itchy bites around the ankles. We give you upfront pricing and book a local crew to treat the home and yard.
Only a small share of fleas live on the animal. The rest are eggs, larvae and cocoons tucked into carpet, rugs, floor gaps, couches and pet bedding, and in shady spots outside such as under decks, beneath high-set homes and along fence lines. The crew treats all of these areas, inside and out, using a product that targets adult fleas and interrupts the young ones developing. Rugs can be lifted so the crew can treat the floor underneath.
- Carpets, rugs and floor gaps
- Pet beds, couches and favourite sleeping spots
- Under decks and high-set homes
- Shady yard areas, kennels and pet runs
- Clear before and after steps
Before the visit, vacuum all floors and couches, wash pet bedding and clear items off the floor. Ask your vet about the pets themselves around the same time, because fleas will hop straight back on. Keep people and pets off treated floors until they are dry. After the visit, keep vacuuming daily for two weeks and empty the vacuum outside, which brings out fleas still in cocoons so the treatment reaches them.
