Fleas usually arrive with a pet, or hitch a ride in from long grass in the yard, then settle into carpets, rugs, pet bedding and the gaps between floorboards where eggs and larvae can sit for weeks. Around Booval, a flea problem often gets noticed once itching starts inside the house, usually not long after a holiday or a new pet in the home.
The crew we book treats carpets, rugs, skirting boards and pet resting areas inside, along with shaded parts of the yard where a pet spends time outdoors. Because flea eggs and larvae can survive the first treatment, a second visit a couple of weeks later is often part of the plan to catch the next generation as it hatches. Under beds and inside pet baskets get a close look too, since eggs tend to collect in these spots.
Vacuuming carpets and washing pet bedding before the visit helps treatment reach as much of the problem as possible, and the crew will talk you through what to do around the house in the days after treatment while it works through the area, including any time pets should be kept off treated carpet or yard sections.
