Fleas usually arrive on a dog or cat, then settle into carpets, rugs, pet beds, couches and shady spots in the yard. Adult fleas are only part of the problem. Most of the population is eggs, larvae and pupae tucked away in the carpet pile and floor gaps. We book nearby independent crews for flea treatment in homes across Mornington Peninsula, with upfront pricing given on the phone.
For a treatment to work, your pets need to be treated by your vet at around the same time. Otherwise they bring new fleas straight back in. The crew we book treats the inside of the home and, if needed, the outdoor areas where pets rest, such as under decks, beside the back door and in shaded garden beds.
- Treatment of carpets, rugs and floor gaps through the home
- Attention to pet beds, favourite resting spots and under furniture
- Outdoor treatment under decks and in shaded areas where pets lie
- A clear list of what to vacuum and wash before the visit
- Advice on what to expect in the weeks after treatment
Before the visit, vacuum every floor, including under beds and couches, and empty the vacuum outside. Wash pet bedding on a hot cycle. Pick up toys, shoes and clutter from the floor. Keep pets out of the house until the treated areas are dry, and the crew will tell you how long that is.
You may still see a few fleas for a couple of weeks as the last pupae hatch and meet the treated surfaces. Keep vacuuming daily during that time. Empty short stay homes and newly rented houses in Mornington Peninsula often have a flea surprise waiting when people move in. Call 03 9022 1297 to book a flea treatment and we will find a crew near you.
