Plenty of homes in New Farm end up with fleas and ticks at the same time, especially homes with a dog that spends time in the garden and on the couch. A combined flea and tick treatment covers both in one visit, with one crew and one price given upfront, rather than two bookings.
The two pests hide in different places, so the crew we book plans the visit to cover both. Fleas breed mostly indoors, in carpet, rugs, pet beds and floor gaps, and outdoors in shady, dusty spots like the space under the house. Ticks wait in leaf litter, long grass and garden beds, and brown dog ticks can breed around kennels and skirting boards.
When you call, tell us where you have seen fleas, where you have seen ticks, the flooring inside and the size of the yard. We give you upfront pricing on the phone and book a nearby independent crew at a time that suits you. A combined visit usually covers these areas.
- Carpet, rugs and room edges inside
- Pet beds, couches and resting spots
- Skirting boards, door frames and floor gaps
- Garden beds, ground cover and fence lines
- Under decks, verandahs and the house
Before the visit, vacuum every floor and empty the vacuum into an outside bin. Wash pet bedding and throw rugs on a hot wash. Mow the grass and rake leaf litter a day or two before. Keep pets away while the crew works and until everything has dried.
This service covers the home and yard only. Your pets need their own flea and tick plan from your vet, and for bites or a tick on a person, see a doctor. Call 07 3543 7772 to book a flea and tick treatment in New Farm.
