Fleas around Point Cook usually arrive with a pet, a visiting animal or wildlife moving through the yard, and once they are inside they settle into carpets, rugs, pet bedding and soft furniture where eggs and larvae can sit for weeks. Bites around the ankles, and a pet scratching more than usual, are often the first signs a household notices.
A booked flea visit covers both the yard and the inside of the home, since treating only one usually means fleas move back in from the other. The crew we book treats carpets, rugs, skirting boards and pet resting spots indoors, along with shaded, sheltered areas outside such as under decks and along fence lines where fleas tend to gather.
Around Point Cook, a flea problem often shows up after a change in weather, since warm, humid stretches let eggs and larvae develop faster. Vacuuming carpets and washing pet bedding before the visit helps, and treating your pet is worth doing alongside the home visit, though that side of things is worth checking with your vet rather than the pest crew. Homes with more than one pet, or a yard shared with visiting dogs, tend to build up flea numbers faster than a single-pet household, so tell the crew how many animals use the yard and how often when you book, since it helps them judge how much ground the visit needs to cover.
