Our Professional Flea Fumigation Service
Inspection: A licensed pest technician will inspect the entire home, with a focus on areas where pets sleep or spend time, such as bedrooms, lounges, carpets, and rugs.
Preparation: Before treatment, we recommend:
Vacuuming all floors, rugs, and upholstered furniture (dispose of the vacuum bag immediately).
Washing all pet bedding and blankets in a hot cycle.
Ensuring pets are treated with a veterinarian-approved flea treatment (this is crucial for long-term success).
Treatment Process
We apply a professional-grade insecticide throughout the affected areas, including carpets, skirting boards, floorboards, and furnishings.
The product contains both a knockdown agent to kill adult fleas and an insect growth regulator (IGR) to stop eggs and larvae from maturing.
Fleas may remain active for up to 10 days after treatment due to hatching cycles, but this is expected.
Aftercare Advice:
Avoid mopping or vacuuming for at least 7–10 days after treatment to allow the residual spray to remain effective.
Continue monitoring pets and living areas and repeat pet treatments as needed.
Follow-Up:
In cases of heavy infestation, a second treatment may be recommended within 10–14 days.
We offer a warranty period depending on the situation and condition of the premises.
Why Fleas Are a Problem in Melbourne Homes
Fleas are tiny parasites that feed on the blood of pets and humans. Even though they’re small, flea infestations can quickly get out of control. In Melbourne’s south-east, many households have cats or dogs, which makes fleas one of the most common pest problems.
Fleas can:
Cause itchy bites on pets and people.
Lead to allergic reactions and skin irritation.
Spread rapidly through carpets, rugs, and furniture.
Survive for months in your home even without a host.
