The following is general educational information. Pest species, site conditions and suitable treatment methods vary, so property-specific recommendations should follow an inspection.
Fleas can live for a long period without food. This means they can continue to live in areas of pet activities for months after you have left. This makes it so much more important to get your house treated before moving.
We know that it’s very uncomfortable to see your pets suffering with fleas. Since they are known to multiply fast and can jump from pet to another, eliminating them as soon as possible is a must.
As homeowners, you should be on the lookout for signs of an infestation. Here are a few of the most common ones:
Dirt from fleas look like coarse pepper
Your pet’s scratching themself continually

Cat fleas are a much more common species and can be found on dogs as well. It’s best to get flea control in Melbourne done if you have noticed the presence of fleas in your home.
Most people often refer to these pests as sand or grass fleas. However, this is incorrect as all fleas don't live in grass or sand. They are mostly cat fleas that have been deposited on the ground. These insects are blood-sucking parasites that need a living host to survive.
Fleas are incredibly small, which makes it difficult to spot them. As a result of the brownish colour, they generally go unnoticed. Their size enables them to move through your pets’ hair effortlessly.
There are a number of ways you may notice you have fleas, one being your pet scratching or chewing themselves. Additionally, you’ll often find small, red, itchy bite marks on your body, particularly around your ankles and lower legs.
The most common places to find flea eggs indoors include carpeted rugs, floorboard cracks, pet bedding, cushions and upholstery, beneath beds and furniture, and dirt floor basements.
