Fleas are among the most common pest problems that Australian houses encounter. Even people without pets can still experience pest infestation particularly if previous owners of your house kept cats or dogs.

You will often find fleas comfortably snuggled in your pet’s fur. Their eggs can also spread throughout your entire property, infesting your bedding, furniture, and flooring. Larvae often lurk deep inside the carpet fabric or in convenient hardwood flooring crevices.
