What is flea treatment?
Flea treatment is a professional spray of the floors, pet resting areas and yard that kills adult fleas and stops their eggs and larvae from growing into new fleas.
Our flea treatment Melbourne service treats every floor inside the home, under furniture and along edges, plus the shaded parts of the yard where pets lie. We use a product that kills adult fleas together with an insect growth regulator that stops the next generation. Pets are treated by your vet at the same time, and daily vacuuming for the next two weeks finishes the job.

How to tell if your house has fleas
Fleas are tiny, dark brown, wingless insects about 2 mm long that jump a long way. These are the signs Melbourne households tell us about most.
Bites around the ankles
Small, very itchy red bites on ankles and lower legs, often in groups of two or three.
Pets scratching
Dogs and cats scratching, biting at their fur or losing hair near the tail and neck.
Specks in carpet
Black specks on pet bedding or carpet that turn red on a damp paper towel. This is flea dirt.
Fleas in an empty house
Fleas jumping onto your legs when you move into a house that has been empty for weeks.
Fleas on white socks
Walk through the room in white socks. Fleas show up as small dark dots that jump off.
Bites after pets leave
Bites carrying on after a pet has gone, because fleas waiting in the carpet turn to people.
Why flea control for house floors needs more than one spray
Only a small share of the fleas in a home are adults on the pet. Most are eggs, larvae and cocoons in the carpet, which is why a flea spray for house floors has to target every stage, and why the follow up vacuuming matters so much.
| Stage | Where it lives | How long | What the treatment does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Egg | Falls off the pet into carpet, rugs and bedding | Hatches in a few days | Growth regulator stops it developing |
| Larva | Deep in carpet, floor gaps and under furniture, away from light | One to three weeks | Killed by the treatment, growth regulator stops it maturing |
| Pupa (cocoon) | Sticky cocoon at the base of carpet fibres | Days to months, waiting for movement and warmth | Protected, so vacuuming makes it hatch onto the treated floor |
| Adult | On the pet, people and the floor | Several weeks | Killed on contact with treated surfaces |
Flea treatment preparation checklist
Preparation decides how well a flea treatment for home floors works. We send this list when you book.
Call 0401 042 325- Vacuum every floor, under beds and couches and along edges, then empty the vacuum outside
- Pick up toys, shoes, clothes and anything else on the floor
- Wash pet bedding, throw rugs and cushion covers in hot water
- Book your pets in with your vet so they are treated at the same time
- Mow the lawn a day or two before if the yard is part of the job
What a flea treatment for house and yard covers
A flea exterminator treats where the larvae and cocoons are, not just where you saw a flea jump.
Carpets and rugs
Every carpeted room, with extra attention along edges and under furniture where larvae hide.
Hard floors
Floorboards, tiles and laminate, with the gaps between boards where eggs collect.
Pet resting areas
Where pets sleep and lie: dog beds, the laundry, the couch area and the sunny spot by the window.
Growth regulator
An insect growth regulator stops eggs and larvae becoming biting adults for weeks after the visit.
Shaded yard areas
Under decks, along fences and in shaded garden beds where pets rest and fleas breed outside.
Receipt for your agent
End of lease jobs get a receipt that names the property and the treatment, ready for the bond.
Which flea pest control option do you need?
Choose the option that matches your home. If you are not sure, tell us what you are seeing and we will recommend one.
| Option | Suits | What is included | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| End of lease flea treatment | A vacated unit or standard rental where pets lived | Every floor inside and a receipt for your agent | $159 |
| Full home treatment | A lived in home with fleas in the carpets and pet areas | Every floor, pet resting areas and growth regulator | $199 |
| Large or heavy infestation | Large homes, heavy infestations or house and yard together | Inside floors plus shaded yard areas and under decks | $279 |
Keeping children and pets safe during flea treatment
Fleas live where children play and pets sleep, so we plan the safety steps with you before we start.
Out until dry
Children, pets and anyone pregnant stay out of treated rooms until the floors are dry. Your technician gives you the time.
Pets treated by your vet
Your vet treats your pets on the same day or the day before. A clean pet on treated floors breaks the cycle.
Tanks and bowls
Fish tanks are covered with the pump off, and food and water bowls are picked up before we start.
Licensed technician
Every flea treatment is done by a licensed technician using products registered for the job, applied to label rates.
Why vacuuming after a flea treatment matters
This is the part most people miss. Cocoons are protected from any treatment, so the follow up vacuuming is what brings them out.
Vacuum every day
Vacuum every floor daily for about two weeks. The vibration makes adults hatch from their cocoons onto treated floors.
Some fleas are normal
You may see fleas for one to two weeks as new adults hatch. They die after contact with the treated surfaces.
No steam cleaning yet
Do not steam clean or mop the treated floors for about two weeks, so the treatment keeps working.
Call us if it continues
If you are still being bitten after three weeks, call us. We check what was missed and treat again where needed.
Flea treatment questions, answered
What Melbourne home owners, tenants and agents ask us before booking flea pest control.
How much does flea treatment cost in Melbourne?
Flea treatment in Melbourne starts from $159 inc GST for an end of lease treatment, from $199 for a full home with pet areas and growth regulator, and from $279 for large homes, heavy infestations or house and yard together. You get the price in writing before we start.
Why do I still see fleas after the treatment?
Flea cocoons are protected from any spray and keep hatching for one to two weeks. Each new flea dies after it lands on the treated floor. Vacuum every day to make them hatch faster, and do not steam clean or mop for about two weeks.
Do you provide a receipt for end of lease flea treatment?
Yes. After an end of lease flea treatment you get a receipt with the property address, the date and the treatment done. Most agents and landlords ask for this when pets lived in the property. Book it after the carpets are cleaned, not before.
Is flea fumigation the same as a flea spray?
What most people call flea fumigation is a professional spray of the floors and pet areas, not a gas fumigation of the whole house. It works better, because it puts a growth regulator where larvae and eggs actually live.
Do I need to treat my pets as well?
Yes. Ask your vet to treat every dog and cat in the home on the same day or the day before. If the pets still carry fleas, they keep laying eggs in the home and the treatment cannot keep up.
Why are there fleas in a house with no pets?
Flea cocoons can wait for months in carpet after the previous owner or tenant moved out with their pets. When people move in, the movement and warmth make them hatch all at once. Possums or rats in the roof can also bring fleas inside.
Can you do a flea spray for home and yard together?
Yes. We treat the inside floors and the shaded parts of the yard where pets rest: under decks, along fences and in garden beds. Mow the lawn a day or two before.
Do you offer same day flea treatment?
Yes, where we can. If you need a flea exterminator Melbourne wide, call before midday and a technician can often come the same day, including end of lease jobs with a tight handover.
