Fleas thrive in the warm, humid months in Mitchelton, and homes with dogs and cats are the usual target. People often notice them jumping onto their ankles, see pets scratching more than usual, or find tiny dark specks in pet bedding. Fleas can also appear in a home where pets used to live, because eggs and young fleas can wait in carpets and floor cracks for weeks before they hatch.
The crew we book treats floors, carpets, rugs and room edges where flea eggs and larvae gather, paying close attention to the places pets rest and sleep. That often includes the laundry, the garage, under beds and beside couches. In the yard, they can treat shaded lawn, garden beds, the area under the house and the ground around kennels. Fleas come back quickly if pets are not treated, so ask your vet about treating your pets around the same time.

Before the visit, vacuum every floor, including under furniture and along the edges, then empty the vacuum into an outside bin. Wash pet bedding on a hot cycle and pick up toys and clothes. After the visit, keep vacuuming every day or two for a few weeks, as this helps bring out fleas still in their cocoons so they cross the treated surfaces.
