Fleas are a common problem in Endeavour Hills homes with dogs and cats, particularly after a warm, humid spell in late spring and summer. You might notice itchy ankles, pets scratching more than usual or tiny dark specks in carpet and pet bedding. Most of the flea population lives off the pet as eggs, larvae and pupae in carpets, rugs, floorboard gaps and shaded parts of the yard, which is why treating the pet alone often does not solve the problem.
The crew we book treats the areas where fleas are breeding. Inside, that usually covers carpets, rugs, under furniture and along floorboard edges. Outside, it can include shaded garden beds, under decks and the spots pets like to lie. The result is much better when your pets get their own flea treatment at around the same time, so the fleas are dealt with on both fronts.
- Carpets, rugs and floor edges treated through the home
- Pet beds and favourite resting spots covered
- Shaded yard areas and under decks treated where needed
- Advice on vacuuming and washing before and after
- Tips on when pets and people can go back into treated rooms
Before the visit, vacuum all floors well, empty the vacuum into an outside bin, wash pet bedding in hot water and pick up toys, clothes and shoes from the floor. After the treatment, keep vacuuming every day or two for a few weeks. This brings eggs and pupae out of hiding and into contact with the treatment, and it is normal to see a few fleas for a short time afterwards.
