Fleas can become a big problem quickly in Ipswich, where warm weather and shady yards give them ideal breeding conditions. They usually come in on dogs and cats, but they can also be left behind in a rental or picked up from a yard where animals rest. By the time you notice them, most of the flea population is eggs, larvae and pupae sitting in carpets, floor gaps, pet beds and dusty spots under the house.
A flea control treatment targets both the adults and the young stages. The crew we book treats carpets, rugs, floorboards and pet areas inside, then moves outside to shady places pets like to lie, such as under the house, decks, verandahs and garden beds. The treatment usually includes a growth inhibitor that stops young fleas developing into adults, which breaks the cycle over the next few weeks.
- Treatment of carpets, rugs, floors and skirting board gaps
- Attention to pet beds, favourite sleeping spots and furniture
- Outdoor treatment of shaded areas, under decks and under the house
- A clear preparation list before the visit
- A reminder to treat pets through your vet at the same time
Before the visit, vacuum all floors, including under furniture, and empty the vacuum outside. Wash pet bedding in hot water and clear items off the floor. Keep people and pets off treated floors until they are dry. Keep vacuuming every day for a couple of weeks afterwards, as this brings hatching fleas into contact with the treatment. For bites or any health worry, ask a doctor.
