Fleas showing up on a pet, around ankles after walking through the lounge room or across a yard where a dog spends time are a common call for New Farm homes, especially in the warmer months. Carpets, rugs and pet bedding tend to hold flea eggs and larvae long after adult fleas are noticed, so the crew we book treats the areas pets use most rather than just the room where bites were first noticed.
Around New Farm, flea activity usually centres on lounge rooms and bedrooms with carpet, shaded parts of the yard where pets rest, and garden beds along a fence line a dog patrols. The crew asks where pets spend most of their time indoors and out, treats carpets, rugs, pet bedding and shaded yard areas, and talks you through how long to keep pets and children off treated carpet or lawn before it is fine to go back.
Outdoor flea treatment usually needs a dry spell to work properly, so the crew will talk you through timing if rain is forecast around your booking in New Farm. Vacuuming carpets and pet bedding thoroughly in the days before the visit also helps bring flea eggs and larvae up where the treatment can reach them properly.
