Fleas and ticks often turn up together in Manly, especially in homes with dogs that spend time outdoors. Fleas settle inside and in shady yard spots, while ticks wait in long grass, leaf litter and garden edges. It suits homes near the foreshore reserves and creeks, where both pests are common. A combined flea and tick control visit deals with both at once, so you only need to book one job and clear your day once.
When you call, we ask where you have seen fleas, whether you have found ticks on your pets, and what the yard and any nearby bush or creek look like. You get upfront pricing on the phone, then we book a nearby independent crew. A combined visit usually covers:
- Carpets, rugs, couches and pet beds inside
- Floorboard gaps and the space under a raised home
- Shady yard spots where pets lie
- Lawn edges, fence lines and leaf litter for ticks
- Decks, courtyards and dog runs
To prepare, vacuum every floor and the couch, empty the vacuum outside and wash pet bedding on a hot cycle. Outside, mow the lawn and rake up leaf litter a day or two before the visit, and move toys and bowls out of the way. Tell us about gates, side access and dogs that need to be kept away while the crew works. Keep people and pets away from treated areas until they are dry.
Both pests are most active from spring to autumn, so early in the warm season is a good time to book. Your pets need their own flea and tick plan from your vet, and if you have health worries, please see a doctor. Call 07 3543 7770 to book flea and tick control in Manly.
