Flea treatment is the main job we book in New Farm. Most calls start the same way: itchy ankles, a scratching dog, or tiny dark specks jumping on the carpet. When you call, we ask which rooms are affected, what flooring you have, whether there are pets and whether the fleas seem to be outside too. You get upfront pricing on the phone, then we book a nearby independent crew for a time that suits you.
The crew we book treats the whole home, not only the room where you noticed bites. Fleas spread quickly from room to room, and most of them are eggs, larvae and pupae sitting in places you cannot see. A typical treatment covers these areas.
- Carpet, rugs and the edges of every room
- Under beds, couches and heavy furniture
- Gaps between timber floorboards
- Pet beds and the floor around them
- Shady yard spots or under-house areas where pets lie
Before the visit, vacuum every floor and along the skirting boards, then empty the vacuum into an outside bin. Wash pet bedding, throw rugs and cushion covers on a hot wash. Pick up clothes, toys and shoes so the crew can reach every corner. Plan to keep people and pets out of treated rooms until the floors are dry.
Expect to see a few fleas for a week or two afterwards, as pupae keep hatching. Daily vacuuming brings them out sooner. Some homes need a second visit, and it is priced upfront too. Your pets need their own flea plan from your vet, and for bites on people, please see a doctor. Call 07 3543 7772 to book flea treatment in New Farm.
