Fleas can build up quickly in Ripley homes, especially in warm, humid weather. You may notice pets scratching more than usual, or tiny dark insects jumping on carpet, rugs or pet bedding. Fleas can also appear when you move into a home where pets lived before, as eggs and larvae can sit in carpets for months before hatching.
Most of the flea life cycle is spent as eggs, larvae and pupae in carpets, rugs, floor cracks, pet bedding and shady parts of the yard. The crew we book treats these areas with a spray that kills adult fleas and an insect growth product that stops young fleas from developing. Your pets also need their own flea treatment from your vet at the same time, or the fleas will keep coming back.
- Treatment of carpets, rugs, hard floors and skirting boards
- Attention to pet bedding areas, lounges and under beds
- Outdoor treatment of shady areas where pets rest
- Advice on vacuuming and washing bedding before and after
- Timing the visit with your pet's own flea treatment
Before the visit, vacuum all floors, wash pet bedding on a hot cycle and clear floors of toys and clutter. After the treatment, keep vacuuming every day or two, because the vibration causes pupae to hatch and come into contact with the product. You may still see a few fleas for a week or two as the last pupae hatch, which is normal.
We give you upfront pricing based on the size of your home and yard. To book flea treatment in Ripley, call 07 3543 7766 and tell us about your pets.
