Fleas do not only live indoors. In New Farm, shady, sheltered parts of the yard can hold plenty of flea larvae, especially where dogs or cats like to lie. If your pet keeps picking up fleas even after the inside of the house has been treated, the yard is often the reason.
Flea larvae need shade, a little moisture and some organic debris to feed on. Open, sunny grass is too hot and dry for them. That means the problem spots are usually under decks, beside the house, along shady side paths and under trees where the ground stays cool. The crew we book looks for those spots first, then treats them.
When you call, tell us how big the yard is, where your pets spend time outside and whether there is a deck or raised verandah. We give you upfront pricing on the phone and book a nearby independent crew at a time that suits you. A yard flea treatment usually covers these areas.
- Shady side paths and the strip beside the house
- Under decks, stairs and verandahs
- Pet resting spots, kennels and runs
- Garden beds and mulch near the house
- Dusty patches under trees and hedges
Before the visit, mow the grass, rake up leaves and clear any piles of timber, pots or junk from shady corners. Put pets inside or with a friend while the crew works, and keep everyone off treated areas until the crew says they have dried.
A yard treatment pairs well with an indoor treatment, since fleas move between the two. Your pets need their own flea plan from your vet. Call 07 3543 7772 to book a yard flea treatment in New Farm.
