How We Eliminate Flea Infestations

Professional, proven, and backed by our warranty

1

Source Identification

We determine whether fleas are from pets, wildlife (possums, rats), or a previous tenant's pets — the source determines the treatment strategy.

2

Internal Carpet & Floor Treatment

Professional insect growth regulator (IGR) combined with knockdown spray applied to all carpets, rugs, and hard floors where flea pupae develop.

3

Furniture & Pet Area Treatment

Targeted treatment of couches, pet bedding areas, and under-furniture zones where flea larvae accumulate.

4

External Yard Treatment

Spray treatment to lawns, garden beds, and shaded areas where outdoor fleas breed, especially under decks and in sandy soil.

5

Pet Treatment Coordination

We coordinate timing with your vet's flea treatment for pets. Both must happen simultaneously for effective elimination.

Signs You Need Flea Treatment

Watch for these warning signs around your property

Pets scratching excessively, biting at their fur, or showing hair loss around the tail base

Small, dark 'flea dirt' (digested blood) visible on pet bedding or when combing fur with a white cloth

Bites on human ankles and lower legs — fleas jump from carpet level

Tiny dark insects jumping on carpet, furniture, or bedding — adult fleas are 1-3mm

DIY vs Professional Treatment

Flea bombs (foggers) are largely ineffective because the aerosol settles on top of carpet fibres — but 95% of fleas are in the pupal stage UNDER the carpet surface where bombs can't reach. Professional treatment uses products that penetrate carpet to the base where larvae and pupae develop.

When Pests Are Most Active

Flea populations in Sydney explode in spring and summer when warm, humid conditions accelerate the life cycle. However, heated homes with carpet can sustain flea infestations year-round. Vacant properties often 'bloom' with fleas when new occupants arrive.

Why You Shouldn't Wait

The longer you delay, the worse it gets

Flea bites cause intense itching and allergic dermatitis — some people develop flea allergy dermatitis (FAD) with severe skin reactions

Cat fleas can transmit murine typhus and cat scratch disease (Bartonella) to humans

Heavy flea infestations in carpeted homes can cause anaemia in young children and pets

Flea Treatment FAQ — Sydney

Common questions from Sydney residents

Why do I have fleas but no pets?
Common causes: previous tenants had pets, possums or rats in your roof space are carrying fleas, or fleas were brought in on clothing or visitors' pets. Flea pupae can lie dormant for months and hatch when they detect vibrations from new occupants.
Can fleas live in my carpet without pets?
Yes. Flea pupae can survive in carpet for up to 12 months without a host. They hatch when they detect warmth, vibration, and CO2 — which is why vacant homes often have flea outbreaks when new people move in.
Why did the flea treatment seem to fail?
Flea pupae are protected by a silk cocoon that no insecticide can penetrate. After treatment, pupae continue hatching for 2-3 weeks. These newly emerged fleas contact the treated surfaces and die. This is normal — not a treatment failure.
Do I need to treat my yard for fleas?
If your pets spend time outdoors, yes. Fleas breed prolifically in shaded, sandy soil under decks, in garden beds, and along fence lines. Treating indoors only means pets get reinfested every time they go outside.
