FLEAS

WHAT & WHY?

Fleas are a wingless parasite that feed on the blood of a host. 

​

Flea bodies are narrow which enables them to move quickly through fur. They have strong rear legs for jumping, and piercing and sucking mouth parts.

DID YOU KNOW?

A flea can jump 30,000 times without stopping.

HOW TO MANAGE FLEAS
  • Clean animal bedding regularly

  • Treat your pet/s with a reputable flea treatment in accordance with directions 

  • Vacuum regularly

HOW CAN I TELL IF WE HAVE FLEAS?
  • Pets are scratching and combing fur 

  • Flea dirt in the fur 

  • Itchy bite marks on humans

TREATMENT

Internally, we will complete a wet spray application to all carpeted areas including mats.

​

Externally, we will complete a wet spray application in all areas where the pets lie: naked dirt, bedding and kennels.

​

You will be required to remove everything off the carpeted areas, including shoes from the base of wardrobes and toys and stored items out from under the beds.

​

It is a good idea to wash the pets bedding and flea treat the pets with a reputable branded flea treatment program on the treatment day.
 

In addition we add growth inhibitor to our chemical treatment and the chemical will take approximately 2 - 3 hours to dry.
