Fleas are commonly carried by various mammals and household pets, including birds, cats, and dogs. Both male and female parasites feed on the blood of their hosts, causing skin irritation and localized swelling. Some species of fleas can transmit serious diseases, such as bubonic plague, endemic typhus, and tularemia, posing a health risk to humans. If you're seeking reliable flea control in Melbourne, The Area Specialist Pest Control Team offers expert treatment, thorough inspections, and other effective methods to ensure long-lasting results.
Flea Control
Fleas prefer to hide in cracks, thriving in environments where they can feed and reproduce undisturbed. They can also be found in furniture, upholstery, and other common household items, particularly in warm areas. In short, ticks and fleas are nearly everywhere. Just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean they aren’t present. They can be a nuisance in any season, whether winter or summer.
The dog flea and the cat flea are the most common and troublesome household pests. Both species target dogs and cats and can occasionally bite humans as well.
Female fleas can lay several hundred eggs in their lifetime, with the eggs hatching in about 10 days and maturing in another 10 days. This rapid reproduction can lead to large infestations in a relatively short time.

Preparation
Make sure all pets have been professionally treated for fleas.
Wash and dry your bedding and clothes in hot water, and do the same for your pet's bedding.
Thoroughly vacuum all hard floors, carpets, and rugs. Be sure to discard the vacuum bag immediately after use to prevent fleas from multiplying inside the vacuum.
Mop all tile and vinyl floors.
How to prevent Fleas
Thoroughly clean your home to eliminate and prevent fleas. Wash all clothing, laundry, quilts, blankets, and linens. While shirts, towels, and other fabrics stored in closed drawers may not need washing, it’s advisable to launder any items that could harbor fleas every two to three weeks.
Once you’ve cleared away debris and established a washing routine, it’s time to start vacuuming in preparation for your pest control treatment. Begin by vacuuming all areas to be treated, including carpets, bare floors, furniture, upholstery, and any other spots where fleas might hide, such as cracks and crevices. This will help eliminate flea eggs and larvae and disrupt pupae, making it easier to remove them.
After each vacuuming session, dispose of the vacuum bags or their contents outside. To effectively keep fleas at bay, be sure to vacuum at least once a week.
