Fleas breed quickly in warm, humid weather, and Surfers Paradise has plenty of that. They usually arrive on a dog or cat, but they can also be waiting in a unit when new tenants move in, hatching from eggs left in the carpet by a previous tenant's pet. Dogs that spend time in parks and along beach tracks can bring them home too. Itchy ankles after walking across the carpet are often the first sign.
Only a small share of the fleas in a home are on the pet at any time. Most are eggs, larvae and pupae hiding in carpet, rugs, couch cushions, pet beds and shaded outdoor areas. Flea treatment targets these stages so the problem does not keep coming back. When you call, we ask about pets, floor types and outdoor areas, then book a nearby independent crew and give you upfront pricing.
Before the visit, vacuum all floors and couches, empty the vacuum outside, and wash pet bedding on a hot cycle. Ask your vet about treating your pets at around the same time. On the day, the crew treats carpets, rugs, hard floor edges, pet sleeping spots and, where needed, balconies, courtyards and the shaded parts of the yard. Keep pets off treated areas until the crew says they are dry, and keep vacuuming for a few weeks afterwards to draw out young fleas as they hatch.
