Most homes in Sunnybank have carpet somewhere, usually in the bedrooms, hallways and lounge room. That carpet is where the bulk of a flea population lives. Eggs roll off pets into the pile, larvae burrow down to feed on dust and flea dirt, and pupae wrap themselves in sticky cocoons that cling to the fibres. Rugs over tiles are just as likely to hold fleas. Carpet flea control goes after all of it.
The crew we book treats each carpeted room, with extra attention on edges along walls, under beds and couches, behind doors and in wardrobes where pets sleep. These low-traffic areas are where larvae gather because they are dark and seldom vacuumed. Walk-in robes and built-in cupboards with carpet are included. Loose rugs are lifted where possible so both the rug and the floor underneath are treated.
- Bedrooms and lounge rooms
- Hallways and landings
- Carpeted stairs and the edges of each step
- Under beds, couches and in wardrobes
- Both sides of loose rugs
Vacuum every carpeted room just before the crew arrives and empty the vacuum outside. After the treatment, keep vacuuming every day or two for about three weeks once the carpet is dry. This brings pupae out of their cocoons so they meet the treated fibres. Try to keep treated carpet dry for a couple of weeks, apart from vacuuming, so the treatment stays in place.
Carpet flea control can be booked alone for Sunnybank townhouses and units, or together with a whole house spray and backyard treatment for larger homes. We will ask how many rooms are carpeted when you call so the price is right. Your pets need a flea product from your vet as well. Call 07 3543 7773 for upfront pricing.
