Our Comprehensive Flea Treatment and Fumigation Process
Step 1: Thorough Inspection
A licensed pest technician will perform a thorough inspection of your entire home, with a critical focus on high-risk areas. We meticulously check carpets, rugs, upholstered furniture, and all spots where your pets sleep or spend time to accurately map the infestation.
Step 2: Essential Preparation
Successful flea control requires your help! Before our treatment, we recommend these essential steps:
Crucial Pet Treatment: Ensure all pets receive a Vet-Approved Flea Treatment before our arrival. This is the single most important step for long-term success.
Deep Cleaning: Vacuum all floors, rugs, and furniture. Immediately seal and dispose of the vacuum bag outdoors to prevent re-release of fleas.
Wash all pet bedding and blankets in a hot cycle.
Step 3: Targeted Treatment Application
We deploy a professional-grade Flea Fumigation treatment using Targeted Sprays throughout all affected areas, including carpets, skirting boards, and floorboards. Our powerful formula contains two key components: a Knockdown Agent to instantly eliminate adult fleas, and an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) to sterilise eggs and larvae, decisively breaking the flea life cycle.
Post-Treatment Aftercare
To ensure the residual treatment remains effective, do not mop or vacuum for a minimum of 7-10 days. Continue to monitor your living areas and ensure pets receive regular, ongoing pet treatments as recommended by your vet. You may still see fleas for up to 10 days as eggs hatch, but the treatment continues to work.
Our Warranty and Follow-Up Guarantee
In the case of a severe or heavy infestation, a second professional flea treatment may be recommended within 10–14 days. We stand by our service and offer a warranty period based on the specific condition of your premises.

Fleas
Understanding Flea Infestations in Melbourne
Fleas are tiny, blood-feeding parasites that multiply rapidly, quickly turning a minor nuisance into a major infestation. Due to the high number of pet owners in areas like Melbourne's south-east, they are one of the region's most common pest issues. Fleas are problematic because they:
Cause itchy bites and allergic reactions on people and pets.
Spread rapidly through fabrics, including carpets and furniture.
Can survive dormant for months in your home even without a host.

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.
Transparent Flea Treatment Costs
Our Comprehensive Flea Treatment for Homes starts with a thorough inspection to determine the extent of the infestation. Standard treatments begin from $220 for small homes. Please note that properties with a severe infestation or multiple pets may require a higher investment, but we always provide tailored solutions and transparent quotes.
Flea Pest Control Melbourne – FAQ
Q: How much does flea pest control cost in Melbourne?
A: Prices start from $220 for a standard treatment. The final cost depends on the size of your home, number of pets, and level of infestation.
Q: Do I need to treat my pets as well?
A: Yes — treating pets with vet-approved flea medication is essential. Otherwise, fleas can survive and reinfest your home.
Q: How long does flea treatment take to work?
A: You may see fleas for up to 2 weeks as eggs hatch, but the treatment continues working and breaks the life cycle.
Q: Can fleas come back after treatment?
A: Yes, if pets or untreated areas still have flea eggs. Regular cleaning and pet treatments help prevent re-infestation.
