Understanding the Flea Lifecycle
Fleas progress through egg, larva, pupa, and adult stages—only 5 % are on your pet; the rest develop in carpets, cracks, and garden soil. Breaking this cycle requires more than a quick spray.
Common Signs of Infestation
- Pets scratching excessively or developing “flea dirt” (black specks)
- Bites clustered around ankles or behind knees in humans
- Tiny jumping insects spotted on white socks after walking across carpet
- Pupae lodged in skirting-board gaps awaiting vibration to hatch
Our Multi-Stage Treatment Plan
- Pre-Visit Prep – Vacuum all floors, wash pet bedding at 60 °C, and mow lawns short.
- Comprehensive Application – We apply an adulticide plus an insect growth regulator (IGR) indoors and outdoors, ensuring long residual control.
- Pet Treatment Coordination – We liaise with your vet clinic so pets receive same-day topical or oral flea meds.
- Follow-Up Inspection – Two weeks later, we verify knock-down and re-treat hotspots if required (free under warranty).
Tips to Prevent Re-Infestation
- Maintain monthly vet-approved flea preventatives year-round.
- Vacuum high-traffic zones twice weekly, disposing of bags outdoors.
- Keep chickens and wildlife (bandicoots, possums) from nesting near pet areas.
- Schedule annual flea service each spring before populations explode.
Why Our Clients See Lasting Results
- IGR technology halts eggs and larvae, so future emergences are cut off.
- Pet-safe formulations dry clear and are odourless within an hour.
- Local knowledge of Mandurah’s sandy soils helps target shaded, humid “hot spots” where fleas pupate.
