Flea Treatment
Wollongong, NSW
Cat and dog fleas rapidly colonise carpets, pet bedding, and upholstery in Wollongong homes. Professional treatment targets the full lifecycle — eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults — for lasting clearance.
Fleas Spread Through the Whole Home — Not Just Pets
Most people assume fleas live only on their pets. In reality, over 95% of a flea infestation exists in the environment — in carpet fibres, pet bedding, upholstered furniture, and floor cracks. A single female flea lays up to 50 eggs per day. Without treating the environment and breaking the lifecycle with an insect growth regulator (IGR), fleas will return within weeks of any surface treatment.

How We Handle Flea Treatment in Wollongong
Property Inspection
We assess the extent of flea activity — carpeted areas, pet bedding, upholstered furniture, and any subfloor areas if pets have access. We identify the severity and source before treatment begins.
Full Interior Chemical Treatment
A residual insecticide is applied to all carpeted areas, skirting boards, and pet resting zones. This provides immediate knockdown of adults. An IGR is included to prevent eggs and larvae from developing.
Pet Treatment Advice & Follow-Up
We provide guidance on treating your pets at the same time (essential for full clearance). If flea activity persists after the first treatment — common with heavy infestations — we offer a free return visit.
