Inspection and source check
We look for where fleas are active and where they are likely breeding, including carpet edges, skirting boards, pet routes, and relevant outdoor areas.
If you are finding jumping insects on pets or noticing itchy bites indoors, 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney can help reduce flea activity. We inspect where fleas hide and breed, then treat the areas that support their lifecycle.
A common reason DIY flea treatments fail is treating only where you spot adult fleas, instead of the places where eggs and larvae develop.
What to expect with flea control
Fleas can spread through rugs, soft furnishings, skirting boards, and shaded outdoor areas. Our approach is designed to disrupt their lifecycle by treating the hiding and breeding sites we identify during inspection. For details on the full process, see the service page.
In many homes, fleas show up as small dark insects that jump when disturbed, especially near bedding, carpets, and pet resting areas. You may also notice flea dirt, which looks like tiny dark specks that can bleed reddish-brown when dampened.
Our flea control method in brief
Flea control is more than spraying a surface. We inspect first, identify indoor and outdoor harborage, then treat the areas that support the lifecycle. We also give clear prep and post-visit instructions so treatment can work where fleas live.
