If your dog or cat sleeps on the couch, the bed or a favourite armchair, fleas are probably living there too. Eggs fall into the seams and cushions, and larvae hide in the dark gaps under and between them. In New Farm homes, furniture is often the missing piece when a flea problem does not go away after the floors have been treated.
A furniture flea treatment adds the pieces your pets use to a room treatment. The crew we book looks at where your pets sit and sleep, then treats the undersides, crevices and the floor beneath. When you call, tell us which pieces your pets use and what they are made of, such as fabric, leather or timber. We give you upfront pricing on the phone and book a nearby independent crew at a time that suits you.
The crew usually treats these areas.
- Under and behind couches and armchairs
- Bed bases, bed frames and the floor below
- Pet beds, baskets and cat trees
- Ottomans and footstools pets lie on
- Cushion gaps the crew can reach without damage
Before the visit, vacuum the furniture well, especially seams, cushions and underneath. Take off washable covers and wash them on a hot wash. Wash pet bedding and blankets too. Empty the vacuum into an outside bin.
The crew will tell you when furniture is fine to use again, which is usually once it is dry. Some fabrics or delicate pieces may be left out of the spray, and the crew will say which. Your pets need their own flea plan from your vet. Call 07 3543 7772 to add furniture flea treatment to your New Farm booking.
