Fleas usually arrive with a pet or hitch a ride from long grass in the yard, then settle into carpets, rugs, pet bedding and the gaps in floorboards where eggs and larvae can sit for weeks. In Goodna, a flea problem often gets noticed once itching starts turning up inside the house, usually after a holiday or a new pet in the home.
The crew we book treats carpets, rugs, skirting boards and pet resting areas inside the house, along with shaded parts of the yard where a pet spends time outside. Because flea eggs and larvae can survive a 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, along the edge of rugs and inside pet baskets are checked closely, since these are the spots eggs tend to collect after falling off a pet's coat.
Vacuuming carpets and washing pet bedding before the visit helps the 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. Pets may need to be kept off treated carpet and out of treated yard areas for a short time after the visit, and the crew will confirm timing before they leave.
