Fleas can take over a home quickly, especially in warm, humid weather. In the Yarra Valley, they often come in on dogs and cats, but they also turn up in homes where the last tenants had pets, or where rabbits, foxes or other animals shelter under the house. You may notice small dark specks jumping onto your legs in carpeted rooms.
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, verandahs and the subfloor 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, wash pet bedding on a hot cycle and clear items off the floor. Pick up toys and shoes so the crew can reach the whole 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. For flea treatment anywhere in the Yarra Valley, call 03 7053 9852 to book.
