Fleas often arrive with pets and quickly spread through carpets, rugs and soft furnishings in Sunshine Coast homes, particularly during warmer, humid stretches when eggs and larvae develop faster. Bites around ankles are usually the first sign something needs attention. Homes with carpet throughout tend to see fleas spread further and faster than those with mostly hard flooring, since eggs settle deep into carpet fibres.
A crew will treat carpets, rugs, pet bedding areas and skirting boards inside the home, along with shaded parts of the yard where pets spend time, since flea eggs can drop off outdoors as well as indoors. Vacuuming before the visit helps lift eggs and larvae so the treatment can work through the carpet more evenly. Rugs, cat and dog bedding, and soft furniture such as couches are treated in the same visit where fleas are likely to be hiding between uses.
- Treatment of carpets, rugs and soft furnishings
- Treatment of shaded yard areas where pets rest
- Attention to pet bedding areas and skirting boards
- Advice on vacuuming before and after the visit
- Note that pets need separate treatment through a vet
Pets should be treated separately through a vet, since this visit covers the home and yard rather than the animal itself. A second visit is sometimes worth booking a couple of weeks later if eggs remaining in the carpet hatch after the first treatment. Book through Sunshine Coast on 07 3543 7765 and the crew will confirm what areas of your home and yard need attention before the visit starts.
