Backyards in Sunnybank come in all sizes, from the big grassy blocks behind older brick and highset homes to small courtyards behind townhouses and duplexes. They do not look like much of a risk, but they are where many flea problems start. Dogs lie in the same shady spots every day, and flea eggs fall off and hatch in the soil, mulch and grass around them.
The crew we book looks at where your pets spend their time outside and focuses the treatment there. That usually means shaded corners, garden beds against the house, side paths, the area under patios, decks and highset homes, and around kennels. Open grass in full sun gets less attention, since the heat dries out flea larvae. Artificial grass is treated in shaded areas, where dust and hair build up in the backing.
- Shaded corners and fence lines
- Garden beds and mulch near the house
- Side paths and bin areas
- Patios, decks and pergolas
- Kennels and artificial grass
Mow a day or two before the visit and clear away toys, hoses and pet bowls. Keep pets inside until the treated areas are dry, which the crew will confirm. Heavy rain soon after can wash some of the treatment away, so it helps to book in a dry spell where you can. Wildlife and stray cats passing through can bring fleas back, and the crew can point out gaps under fences to block.
Backyard flea control is usually booked with a whole house flea spray in Sunnybank. Larger blocks can take longer, and the price reflects the area treated. Please ask your vet about treating your pets at the same time. Call 07 3543 7773 for upfront pricing.
