Flea problems in Mill Park often start with a family pet, but the real problem is in the house. Adult fleas lay eggs on the animal, the eggs drop off into carpets, rugs, pet beds and couches, and new fleas hatch there over the next few weeks. People often notice bites on their ankles after moving into a rental where the previous tenants had a cat or dog, or after the pet has been away.
The crew we book treats the whole area where fleas breed. Inside, that covers carpets, rugs, under furniture, along skirting boards and the spots where pets sleep. Outside, it covers shady areas under decks, along fences and in garden beds where pets rest. A growth inhibitor stops eggs and larvae from growing into biting adults.

- Advice on timing pet flea treatment with your vet
Before the visit, vacuum every floor and couch, then empty the vacuum into a sealed bag in the outside bin. Wash pet bedding on a hot cycle. After the treatment, keep vacuuming every day or two for about two weeks. The vibration helps remaining pupae hatch so the new fleas meet the treated surfaces.
Your pets need to be treated by your vet at the same time, or fleas tend to come back quickly. Ask the crew how long to keep pets off treated floors and outdoor areas. Call 03 7053 9824 to book flea treatment in Mill Park with upfront pricing.
