Fleas can spread through a home once they arrive, often on a pet or after moving into a place where animals lived before. In Redlands, people usually notice them first as itchy bites around the ankles or pets scratching more than usual. Homes with carpet and a dog or cat that goes in and out are the usual cases. We give you upfront pricing and book a local crew to treat the home and yard.
Most of a flea problem lives off the pet, as eggs and larvae in carpets, rugs, cracks in floorboards and pet bedding areas. The crew treats these areas inside, then moves outside to shady spots where pets rest, such as under decks, along fences and beneath the house. The treatment targets adult fleas and keeps young fleas from growing into biting adults.
- Inside treatment of carpets, rugs and floor gaps
- Pet bedding areas and favourite resting spots
- Outside treatment under decks and houses
- Shady yard areas along fences and garden beds
- Clear steps for vacuuming after the visit
Before the visit, vacuum every floor, wash pet bedding and pick items up off the floor so the crew can reach the carpet. Talk to your vet about the pets themselves at the same time, since fleas travel back in on them. After the visit, keep vacuuming each day for a couple of weeks, since this brings out fleas still in their cocoons so the treatment can reach them.
Warm, humid weather in Redlands suits fleas, so numbers often climb from spring through summer. To book flea treatment, call 07 3543 7768. We will give you upfront pricing and line up a local team, same-day or next-day where the run allows.
