Many homes in Caboolture are highset or sit on stumps, and the space underneath is a favourite spot for dogs and cats on hot days. The ground there is shady, dry and dusty, which suits flea larvae well. When pets rest there every afternoon, fleas can build up in large numbers and then travel up into the home on paws and fur. Older highset Queenslanders and newer raised homes on sloping blocks can both have this problem.
When you call, we ask how high the gap under the house is, whether the area is open or closed in, and what is stored there. You get upfront pricing, and then we book a nearby independent crew who can treat:
- Open dirt and sand under highset homes
- Low crawl spaces under raised floors
- Areas under decks, stairs and verandahs
- Laundry and storage areas under the house
- Dog beds and mats kept downstairs
Before the visit, clear as much as you can from under the house so the crew can reach the ground. Move boxes, bikes and tools to one side, and take pet beds out to wash them on a hot cycle. If the space is closed off with lattice or doors, make sure the crew can get in. Keep pets away from the area until it is dry.
Under-house treatment pairs well with an indoor treatment, as fleas from below often end up in the carpet above. If you are not sure where the fleas are coming from, a flea inspection can help. Your pets need their own flea plan from your vet. Call 07 3543 7771 to book under-house flea treatment in Caboolture.
