Fleas can take over a home on the Sunshine Coast quickly, especially in warm, humid weather. Adult fleas on your pet are only a small part of the problem. One flea can lay dozens of eggs a day. Eggs, larvae and pupae sit in carpets, rugs, pet beds, cracks in floorboards and shady parts of the yard, and they keep hatching for weeks.
When you call, tell us about the pets, the flooring and where you are seeing fleas. We give you upfront pricing and book an independent crew that works near you. The crew we book treats the floors and the outdoor spots where pets rest, using products that target both adult fleas and the young stages.
- Carpets, rugs and floorboard gaps
- Under beds, couches and other furniture
- Pet sleeping areas inside and out
- Garages and laundries where pets sleep
- Shady yard spots, under decks and under the house
Before the visit, vacuum every floor well, empty the vacuum outside and wash pet bedding in hot water. Make sure your pets are treated by your vet at around the same time, or the fleas will come straight back in on them. Keep everyone off the floors until they are dry. Keep vacuuming daily for two weeks afterwards, because the vibration makes pupae hatch and meet the treated surface.
Flea numbers across the Sunshine Coast tend to climb in late spring and summer. If you have moved into a rental that had pets before you, fleas may be waiting in the carpet. Tenants and landlords can both book through us. Call 07 3543 7771 to get a price and book a visit.
