Fleas usually turn up in a Whittlesea home after a pet or working dog brings them inside, or when a property has been empty for a while and eggs already in the carpet hatch once someone moves back in. The crew we book will ask about pets, recent moves and where you are noticing bites, since that helps work out whether the activity is mostly in the yard, indoors, or both.
The visit covers carpets, rugs, pet bedding and skirting boards indoors, along with shaded parts of the yard, under decking, kennels and any spots pets rest outside, since flea eggs and larvae can sit in these areas for weeks. The crew will explain what needs doing with pets and bedding around the visit, since fleas on an untreated pet can undo an otherwise thorough treatment.
- Carpets, rugs and pet bedding checked and treated indoors
- Shaded yard areas, kennels and under decking checked outside
- Advice on pet treatment timing to match the visit
- A price given before the crew starts work at your Whittlesea address
- Notes on which rooms and yard areas need a repeat vacuum afterwards
Properties with larger yards and kennels on the edges of Whittlesea tend to need more outdoor attention, while township houses closer to the centre usually see fleas contained to carpeted areas and pet bedding indoors. A property that has been rented out or left empty for a stretch can also show a sudden burst of flea activity once someone starts walking around again, since the vibration and warmth prompt eggs already in the carpet to hatch. Either way, vacuuming thoroughly before the crew arrives and mentioning any pets when you book helps the visit go smoothly.
