Fleas can take over a home quickly, especially in the warm, humid months in Fortitude Valley. They usually arrive on a pet, but can also be left behind in a rental property after a previous renter's cat or dog has gone. Most of the flea population lives in the carpet, rugs, pet bedding and cracks in floorboards as eggs and larvae, which is why treating the pet alone often does not solve the problem.
The crew treats the floors of the home, paying close attention to carpets, rugs, under furniture and along skirting boards. They use a product that kills adult fleas and a growth inhibitor that stops eggs and larvae from developing. Outside, they treat shady areas of the yard, under decks and anywhere pets like to rest. Your pet needs its own flea treatment from a vet or pet store at the same time, or the problem can come back.

- Advice on vacuuming and washing bedding after the visit
Before the visit, vacuum every floor, wash pet bedding on a hot cycle and pick up items from the floor. Keep pets out of the home until the treated floors are dry. After the treatment, vacuum daily for a couple of weeks, as this brings dormant fleas out so the treatment can reach them. If anyone has a strong reaction to bites, speak to a doctor.
