Fleas often show up in Wallan homes after a warm, humid stretch or when a new pet arrives. You might notice itchy ankles, pets scratching more than normal or tiny dark specks on the carpet and pet bedding. Flea eggs and larvae live in carpets, rugs, cracks in floorboards and shaded parts of the yard, so treating the pet on its own is often not enough.
The crew we book treats the areas where fleas are breeding. Inside, that usually means carpets, rugs, under furniture and along floorboard edges. Outside, it can include shaded garden beds, under decks and the places pets like to lie. It goes much better when your pets get their own flea treatment at around the same time, so the fleas are hit from both sides. Fleas can also come into the house from a yard that a visiting dog or a neighbour's cat has been using, so a home without pets can still end up with fleas after a warm spell. Tell us if that sounds like your place when you call.
- Carpets, rugs and floor edges treated inside the home
- Pet sleeping areas and favourite spots covered
- Shaded yard areas and under decks treated where needed
- Advice on vacuuming and washing bedding before and after
- Tips on how long to keep pets and people out of treated rooms
Before the visit, vacuum the floors well and empty the vacuum outside, wash pet bedding in hot water and pick up toys and clothes from the floor. After the treatment, keep vacuuming every day or two for a few weeks, as this brings eggs and larvae out and into contact with the treatment.
