Fleas thrive in the warm, humid months in Caboolture, and homes with dogs, cats or wildlife passing through the yard see them most. Signs include pets scratching constantly, tiny black specks in their bedding and fleas jumping onto ankles when you walk across carpet or rugs. A house that has been closed up for a few weeks can also have fleas waiting in the floors, ready to hatch when someone comes back in.
The crew we book treats the inside of the home, focusing on carpets, rugs, cracks in timber floors, under furniture, along skirting boards and anywhere pets sleep. Outside, they treat shaded parts of the yard, under decks and highset homes, and around kennels and pet beds, since that is where flea larvae develop. The treatment usually includes an insect growth inhibitor that stops young fleas from becoming biting adults.
The pets themselves need to be treated at the same time with a product from your vet, or they will bring fleas straight back in. Vacuum the floors well before the visit and wash pet bedding on a hot cycle. After the visit, vacuum every day for a couple of weeks, since the vibration brings the last pupae out to meet the treatment. A few fleas hanging around for a week or two is normal.
