How does flea treatment for house carpets and floors work?
Flea treatment for a house works by treating the places fleas develop, not just the adults biting you. Most of a flea problem lives in the carpet, rugs, cracks in the floorboards and the pet bedding, as eggs, larvae and pupae waiting to hatch.
We treat every floor surface and the areas pets rest, inside and outside, with a residual treatment for adult fleas and an insect growth regulator that stops eggs and larvae developing. Pupae in their cocoons are harder to reach, so a few fleas can still hatch for a week or two; vacuuming daily brings them out to the treated surface.

Signs of fleas in house carpets and bedding
Fleas are tiny and fast, so the clues usually come from your ankles and your pets before you see one.
Bites on ankles
Small itchy red bites around the ankles and lower legs, often in groups.
Pets scratching
Dogs and cats scratching, biting at their skin or losing fur at the base of the tail.
Flea dirt
Black specks in pet fur or bedding that turn red on a wet paper towel.
Jumping specks
Tiny dark specks jumping on white socks, carpet or the couch.
After moving in
Bites starting soon after moving into a home where pets lived before.
After a holiday
Fleas appearing when you return to a house that has been empty.
In the yard
Bites after sitting on the lawn or near the pet kennel.
Worse with vibration
More fleas after vacuuming or walking through a room, as pupae hatch.
How to prepare for flea pest control
Good preparation is half of flea pest control. We send you a short list when you book, and the key steps are simple.
Vacuum every floor thoroughly the day of treatment, including under furniture, and empty the vacuum outside. Wash pet bedding on a hot cycle. Pick up toys, clothes and items from the floor, and book your pets in for a vet flea treatment on the same day so they come home clean.
- Vacuum all floors first
- Wash pet bedding hot
- Clear the floors
- Treat pets the same day
- Keep pets out until dry
- Vacuum daily for two weeks
Fleas back after a flea spray from the shop? Treat the pets and the house together.
Supermarket flea spray and bombs miss the eggs and pupae deep in the carpet, and untreated pets carry new fleas straight back in. The house and the pets need treating at the same time.

What sets your final flea treatment price
- Size of the home. Price is mainly set by the number of rooms and floor area to treat.
- Carpet or hard floor. Carpeted homes take longer to treat thoroughly than hard floors.
- House and yard. Treating the yard, kennels and runs adds to the job.
- How heavy it is. Heavy infestations may need a follow up visit.
- Furniture and clutter. Clear floors are faster; heavily furnished rooms take longer.
- Rental and receipts. End of lease jobs include a receipt for your agent.
Is flea treatment safe for pets and kids?
The two questions people ask most before booking a flea exterminator.
Pets and children
Licensed technicians apply every product exactly as the label directs. Keep children and pets off treated floors until they are dry, usually a few hours.
Your pets should get a vet recommended flea product on the same day, so they are not bringing fleas back in.
If you still see fleas
Seeing a few fleas for up to two weeks is normal as pupae hatch and land on the treated surface. Keep vacuuming daily.
If activity is still heavy after that, call us. The treatment is covered by written warranty terms on your job record.

Flea treatment questions, answered
Cost, pets, preparation and how long it takes. Ask us anything else directly.
How much does flea treatment cost in Melbourne?
A full home flea treatment starts from $199, an end of lease flea treatment from $159, and large homes or heavy infestations from $279. The final price depends on the size of the home and whether the yard is included, and you get it in writing before we start.
How long does flea treatment take to work?
Adult fleas die soon after contact with the treated surface. Pupae can keep hatching for up to two weeks, so daily vacuuming during that time is important.
Do I need to treat my pets as well?
Yes. Pets carry fleas, so they need a vet recommended flea product on the same day as the house treatment. Treating only one of them lets the fleas come straight back.
Can I get rid of fleas with a flea spray or bomb?
Shop flea spray and bombs rarely reach the eggs and pupae deep in carpet and floor gaps, and they do nothing for the pets. A professional treatment with a growth regulator works on every stage.
Why do I have fleas in an empty house?
Flea pupae can wait in the carpet for weeks and hatch when someone walks in, which is why fleas often appear after a holiday or when moving into a rental where pets lived.
Do you do flea treatment for rentals?
Yes. For a vacated rental, see our end of lease pest control service, which includes a receipt for your agent.
How long before I can walk on the carpet?
Usually a few hours, once the treated floors are dry. We confirm the timing on the day.
Is there flea control near me?
We cover all of metropolitan Melbourne, 7 days a week. Put your suburb in the form or use the suburb checker on this page and we confirm when we call.
