Fleas can build up quickly in North Lakes homes during the warm, humid months, especially where there are dogs or cats. You might notice pets scratching more than usual, small dark specks in their bedding, or fleas jumping around ankles on carpet and rugs. Fleas can also be a problem in a home that has been empty for a while, as eggs and larvae wait in carpets and cracks until someone walks in.
The crew we book treats the inside of the home where fleas are living, including carpets, rugs, under furniture, along skirting boards and anywhere pets sleep. Outside, they treat shaded areas of the yard, under decks and around kennels or pet beds, where fleas often breed. The treatment usually includes a growth inhibitor that stops young fleas from developing into adults.
For a good result, the pets themselves need treating by your vet or with a flea product at the same time, or the home can pick up fleas again. Vacuum all floors well before the visit and wash pet bedding in hot water. After the visit, keep vacuuming daily for a couple of weeks and empty the vacuum outside, as this helps bring out the last of the hatching fleas so they meet the treatment. Seeing a few fleas for a week or two afterwards is normal.
