Fleas around Maroochydore usually arrive with a pet, but the warm, humid weather means they spread through carpets, rugs and yards quickly once they take hold, and they seldom get a cold snap to slow them down. Bites around the ankles, a pet scratching more than usual, or small dark specks in bedding are the common signs households mention when they call.
When you call 07 3543 7773, tell us whether the fleas are mainly indoors, outdoors or both, and whether pets are involved. The crew we book will check carpets, rugs, pet bedding and skirting boards indoors, along with shaded, sandy areas of the yard around Maroochydore properties where fleas tend to build up outside, particularly under decks and around kennels.
Fleas can keep breeding in carpets and soft furnishings for weeks after the last sighting, since eggs and larvae sit out of the way until conditions suit them, and around here the conditions suit them most of the year. That is why a visit usually covers more than just the room a pet sleeps in, working through hallways, lounge rooms and any other carpeted or soft area a pet has access to.
- Carpets, rugs and pet bedding checked and treated indoors
- Shaded, sandy yard areas and under decks looked at where pets spend time
- Skirting boards and under-furniture spots checked for activity
- Advice on vacuuming and washing bedding alongside the visit
- Visits suited to units with courtyards through to larger yards
Vacuuming before and after the visit helps bring numbers down sooner, and the crew will mention timing for this on the day, along with any other steps worth doing around the house in the days after. Call 07 3543 7773 to book a local team for Maroochydore and get pricing before anyone arrives.
