What flea activity looks like

You may notice fleas jumping quickly from carpets when furniture is moved, or you might find tiny dark specks that look like ground pepper in pet beds. Pets may scratch more often, especially around ankles and bedding areas.

What happens during service

Inspection, targeted treatment, and aftercare

24 Hour Pest Control Sydney starts by assessing where fleas are active, then treats the indoor areas most likely to harbour eggs and developing fleas. You are given clear preparation instructions before the visit and aftercare guidance once treatment is complete.

Inspect the problem areas

We check where fleas are being seen or suspected, including pet sleeping areas and indoor harbourage like carpets, rugs, and floor edges.

Treat the key harbourage zones

The plan focuses on the places fleas can develop indoors, so the treatment addresses more than the visible insects.

You get guidance on cleaning, pet safety, and actions that reduce the chance of fleas restarting the cycle indoors.

Flea Control FAQs

How do I know if it is fleas and not another biting insect?

Fleas often show up as jumping insects when you walk across carpet, and you may notice dark “flea dirt” in pet bedding or rugs. Increased scratching in pets, especially around sleeping areas, is also a common sign. An inspection can confirm where the activity is coming from.

Do I need to treat my pets as well as the house?

Yes, flea problems typically involve the pets being a source and the home being a harbourage. If pets are not addressed alongside the indoor areas, the cycle can keep restarting indoors.

What should I do before a flea treatment visit?

We provide specific preparation instructions before the visit. These usually cover how to manage pets, how to prepare indoor areas, and what to avoid so the treatment can reach the places fleas harbour.

Why do fleas seem to continue for a while after treatment?

If there are eggs, larvae, or pupae in indoor areas, new adult fleas can emerge after the initial treatment. Aftercare and cleaning steps help reduce what is left in the environment, and we can advise what to adjust if you still see activity.

Where should I look first in my home?

Start with the pet’s sleeping areas and the floor areas they spend time on. Carpet and rug edges, along with cracks near skirting and furniture, are common places where fleas can persist indoors.
