Flea treatment is the job we book most often in Caboolture. Most calls start with the same signs: itchy ankles after sitting on the couch, a dog scratching through the night, or tiny dark specks jumping off the carpet. When you ring, we ask which rooms are affected, what flooring you have, whether your pets sleep inside and whether you have noticed fleas 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 treats the whole home rather than one room. Adult fleas are only a small part of the problem. Most of the population is eggs, larvae and pupae tucked into places you cannot see, so a typical visit covers:
- Carpet, rugs and the edges of every room
- Under beds, couches and heavy furniture
- Gaps between timber floorboards
- Pet beds, kennels and the floor around them
- Shady yard spots and the ground under a highset home
To get ready, vacuum every floor and along the skirting boards, then empty the vacuum into an outside bin. Wash pet bedding, throw rugs and cushion covers on a hot cycle. Pick up toys, shoes and washing so the crew can reach every corner. People and pets should stay out of treated rooms until the floors are dry.
You may still see a few fleas for a week or two while the last pupae hatch, and daily vacuuming helps bring them out. 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 7771 to book flea treatment in Caboolture.
