Flea control is the main job we book in Manly. The signs are usually easy to spot: small itchy bites around the ankles, a dog or cat that keeps scratching, or tiny dark specks on the carpet that jump when you walk past. When you call, we ask where you have noticed fleas, what flooring you have, whether pets live indoors and whether they spend time in the yard. You get upfront pricing on the phone, and then we book a nearby independent crew for a time that suits you.
The crew we book looks at the whole home, not just the room where you were bitten. Most fleas are not adults at all but eggs, larvae and pupae hiding in dark places. A typical flea control visit covers:
- Carpet, rugs and the edges of every room
- Couches, pet beds and the floor around them
- Gaps between timber floorboards
- Balconies and courtyards pets use
- Shady yard spots and the space under the house
Before the visit, vacuum every floor slowly, including under furniture and along skirting boards, and empty the vacuum into an outside bin. Wash pet bedding, throw rugs and cushion covers on a hot cycle, and pick up anything left on the floor. Everyone, pets included, should stay out of treated rooms until the floors are dry.
It is normal to see a few fleas for a week or two afterwards while the last pupae hatch. Keep vacuuming daily to speed that up. If a second visit is needed, it is priced upfront too. Your pets need their own flea plan from your vet, and for bites on people, please see a doctor. Call 07 3543 7770 to book flea control in Manly.
