Fleas usually arrive in a home in Albany Creek on a pet, but once they take hold they spread quickly into carpets, rugs, pet bedding and shaded parts of the yard where a cat or dog spends time. A flea problem can carry on well after the original pet issue is sorted, since eggs and larvae sit in carpet fibres and soft furnishings and continue to hatch for weeks after the adult fleas are gone. Bites usually show up around the ankles first, since fleas jump rather than fly and tend to reach only as high as they need to find a meal.
When you call 07 3543 7771, we take down which rooms and outdoor areas are affected and book a local crew to treat the property. The crew usually covers carpets, rugs, pet bedding areas and skirting boards indoors, along with shaded, sandy or grassed patches outdoors where a pet regularly rests, since fleas need both areas treated to break the cycle. Treatment timing matters with fleas, since eggs already in the carpet can keep hatching for a couple of weeks after the first visit, which is why a second visit is sometimes worth booking depending on how far the problem had spread.
- Carpets, rugs and pet bedding
- Skirting boards and under furniture
- Shaded and grassed areas in the yard
- Kennels, verandas and outdoor pet areas
- Cars if a pet regularly travels in them
Homes across Albany Creek with pets that spend time both indoors and in the yard tend to need both areas treated together to get on top of a flea problem. Call 07 3543 7771 to book a local crew and speak with your vet about treating the pet itself.
