❓ Frequently Asked Questions
QHow much does flea treatment cost for a house in Melbourne?
Professional flea treatment for a Melbourne home costs between $199 and $350 depending on the property size and number of rooms with carpet. The treatment includes IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) spray that breaks the flea lifecycle. All treatments come with a 3-month warranty.
QWhy do I still have fleas after pest control?
Flea pupae (cocoons) in carpet can survive dormant for weeks after treatment. These pupae are resistant to insecticides. As they hatch over the following 2-3 weeks, they contact the treated surfaces and die. This is normal and expected. Vacuuming daily after treatment helps stimulate pupae to hatch faster, speeding up elimination.
QDo I need to vacuum before flea treatment?
Yes. Vacuuming before treatment is very important. It removes flea eggs and debris from carpet, and the vibration stimulates dormant pupae to hatch so they are exposed to the treatment. Vacuum all carpeted areas, under furniture, and along skirting boards. Dispose of the vacuum bag or empty the canister outside.
QCan I get fleas without having pets?
Yes. Fleas can infest homes without pets, commonly when moving into a property where previous tenants had pets. Flea pupae can survive dormant in carpet for up to 12 months in an empty house. When new occupants move in, vibrations and body heat trigger hatching, causing a sudden severe infestation.
Professional Flea Treatment in Melbourne
Fleas are a persistent problem in Melbourne homes, particularly those with cats or dogs. The cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis) is actually the most common species found on both cats and dogs in Australia. Professional flea treatment targets not just the adult fleas you can see, but the eggs, larvae, and pupae hidden deep in your carpet fibres — which make up 95% of the flea population in your home.
Understanding the Flea Lifecycle
Effective flea control requires understanding why they're so hard to eliminate:
- Eggs (50%): A single female flea lays up to 50 eggs per day, which fall off your pet into carpet, bedding, and furniture
- Larvae (35%): Tiny worm-like larvae live deep in carpet fibres, feeding on flea dirt (dried blood) and organic debris
- Pupae (10%): Flea cocoons are the most resistant stage. They can survive dormant for up to 12 months, are resistant to insecticides, and only hatch when triggered by vibration, warmth, or CO2 from a nearby host
- Adults (5%): The biting adults you see are only 5% of the total population. Killing adults alone does nothing — you must break the lifecycle
How Our Treatment Works
Our flea treatment uses an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) combined with a fast-acting adulticide. The IGR prevents flea eggs and larvae from developing into adults, breaking the reproductive cycle. The adulticide kills existing adult fleas on contact. This dual approach ensures the entire population is eliminated over 2-3 weeks as dormant pupae hatch and contact the treated surfaces.
Preparing for Flea Treatment
- Vacuum thoroughly: Vacuum all carpeted areas, under furniture, and along skirting boards. This removes eggs and stimulates pupae to hatch
- Wash pet bedding: Hot wash all pet bedding, throws, and cushion covers
- Clear floors: Pick up toys, shoes, and items from carpet
- Treat pets: Have your pets treated by your vet on the same day as the house treatment
- Vacate during treatment: People and pets should leave the property during treatment and for 2 hours after
