One of the most common flea calls we get in New Farm comes from people who have just moved in. The home looked clean at the inspection, but a few days after moving in, everyone is getting bitten. The reason is usually a previous tenant or owner's pet. Flea pupae can wait in an empty home for weeks or months, then hatch all at once when people start walking around.
A move-in flea treatment deals with this before it gets worse. If you can, book it before the furniture arrives, when the crew can reach every part of the floor. If you have already moved in, the crew can still treat around your things. When you call, tell us the size of the home, the flooring and when you plan to move in. We give you upfront pricing on the phone and book a nearby independent crew at a time that suits you.
A move-in treatment usually covers these areas.
- All carpet and rugs left in the home
- Gaps between timber floorboards
- Built-in robes, cupboards and hallways
- Laundry, entry and garage areas
- The yard or under-house space if it is part of the home
Before the visit, vacuum all floors and empty the vacuum into an outside bin. If the home is empty, the crew only needs access. If you have moved in, lift boxes and clothes off the floor.
If you rent, keep a note of when the fleas appeared and tell your property manager, as they may want to talk to the owner about the cost. Your pets need their own flea plan from your vet. Call 07 3543 7772 to book a move-in flea treatment in New Farm.
