Fleas do not just live in carpet. If your dog or cat sleeps on the couch, curls up in an armchair or jumps onto the bed, flea eggs will fall into the cushions, seams and gaps, and larvae will settle into the dust beneath. In Manly homes where pets are allowed on the furniture, this is often why bites happen in the evening while you sit and relax. When you call, we ask which pieces of furniture your pets use and give you upfront pricing.
The crew we book treats the furniture and the areas around it, as fleas move easily between the two. A furniture flea control visit usually covers:
- Couches, armchairs and ottomans, including under the cushions
- The floor beneath and behind each piece
- Bed bases, and the carpet or boards under the bed
- Pet beds and blankets kept near furniture
- Rugs in lounge and family rooms
Before the visit, take off removable cushion covers and throws and wash them on a hot cycle. Vacuum the couch, including the seams and the gaps between cushions, and vacuum the floor under and around each piece. Clear anything stored under the couch or bed. Empty the vacuum outside. Keep people and pets off treated furniture until it is dry.
Furniture flea control is usually booked alongside a carpet or indoor treatment, since fleas rarely stay in one place. For leather or delicate fabrics, mention it when you call so the crew can plan around it. If fleas have spread into the yard as well, ask about adding yard flea control. Your pets need their own flea plan from your vet. Call 07 3543 7770 to book furniture flea control in Manly.
