Flea Treatment in Rhodes & Sydney
If you're getting bitten around the ankles, the fleas you can see are only about 5% of the problem, the rest are eggs and larvae in carpet, bedding and floorboards.
Effective flea treatment targets the whole life cycle. We treat carpets, rugs, skirtings, subfloor areas and pet resting zones with products including growth regulators, and give you a simple prep and aftercare plan so one visit does the job.
The short answer
Flea Treatment in Sydney, explained
Flea treatment must target the whole life cycle, because adults are only about five percent of the population. We treat carpets, rugs, skirtings, subfloors and pet resting areas with an adulticide plus growth regulator, and fleas keep hatching for up to two weeks afterwards.

Local knowledge
What we see around Rhodes and Sydney
A very common Sydney scenario: you move into a rental or terrace where the previous tenant had a dog, and fleas hatch out of dormant pupae days after you arrive. We handle a lot of these across the Inner West, Concord and Ryde, and treat for the end-of-lease standard landlords expect.
Before we arrive
Your prep checklist
Five minutes of prep makes a real difference to the result. Tick these off before your booking, and ask us anything you are unsure about when you call.

Common questions
Why do I still see fleas after treatment?
Pupae already in the carpet keep hatching for up to two weeks. They're killed as they emerge onto treated surfaces, activity fades to zero as the cycle completes.
Do you treat the pets too?
We treat the property; your vet treats the pet. Doing both on the same day is the fastest route to a flea-free home.
