Got Fleas? Here Is What to Do Before We Arrive

In Sydney, flea problems peak in the humid months and when people move into a home where pets lived before. Get the home ready before we arrive so the treatment reaches the hidden eggs.

Talk to your vet about the pets

We treat the home and yard. Your dog or cat needs its own flea product from your vet at the same time, or fleas will keep coming back on them.

1
Vacuum everything
Carpets, rugs, couches, skirting edges and under furniture. Empty the vacuum into a sealed bag in the outside bin.
2
Wash pet bedding hot
Wash bedding, throws and cushions where pets sleep, and dry them on hot.
3
Clear the floors
Pick up toys, shoes and loose items so every part of the floor can be treated.
4
Book the vet treatment
Treat the pets on or before the day of our visit.
5
Call 07 3544 9883
Tell us the size of the home and whether the yard needs doing too.

Sound Familiar? Why People Call About Fleas

Fleas are easy to bring in and hard to get rid of without treating the home. These are the calls we take most.

"We keep getting bitten around the ankles"

Fleas jump from the carpet to legs and ankles. Small, itchy red bites low on the legs are a common sign.

"We just moved in and the house is full of fleas"

Flea pupae can wait months in an empty house, then hatch all at once when they sense people moving in.

"The dog was treated but the fleas are still here"

Most of the flea population is eggs, larvae and pupae in the carpet and yard, not on the pet.

"The kids get bitten playing in the yard"

Shaded lawns, sandpits and under-house areas where pets lie can hold a lot of fleas.

"The lease says we need a flea treatment"

Many leases ask for a flea treatment when pets have lived in the home. We leave a written record.

"Fleas came back a few weeks after a bomb"

Bug bombs do not reach under furniture or kill pupae, so a new batch hatches a few weeks later.

Is It Fleas? Signs and What They Mean

Several insects bite, so it helps to know what you are looking at before treatment.

Why Sydney Homes Get Fleas

Sydney's humidity, big yards and busy rental market all help fleas.

Humid summers

Fleas develop fastest in warm, humid weather, and Sydney summers give them exactly that from November to March.

Big shaded yards

Homes in the west, south west and the Hills often have large yards where pets rest in shade, ideal for flea larvae.

Rentals changing hands

Fleas left by a previous tenant's pets often hatch when new people move in, from inner-west terraces to apartments.

Why Fleas Should Not Be Left Untreated

One female flea can lay dozens of eggs a day, and most of the problem is hidden in the carpet and yard.

Itchy bites for the family

Flea bites are itchy and can become inflamed when scratched, especially on children.

Unhappy pets

Pets can scratch themselves raw, and fleas can carry tapeworm. Speak to your vet about your pet's health.

Pupae that wait

Flea pupae can survive for months and hatch when they sense movement, so the problem returns.

DIY that misses the eggs

Sprays and bombs kill some adults but do not reach eggs and larvae deep in the carpet.

How a Freshify Flea Treatment Works

The goal is to break the flea life cycle, so the treatment reaches the eggs and larvae as well as the adults.

Areas we treat

Carpets, rugs, floorboards and edges, under furniture, pet resting areas, the yard, garden beds, verandas and the subfloor or under-house area where pets go.

1
Inspection
We confirm it is fleas and find where pets rest and where fleas are breeding.
2
Preparation
You vacuum, wash pet bedding and treat the pets with your vet's product.
3
Inside treatment
Floors and furniture edges are treated with an adult flea product and a growth inhibitor.
4
Outside treatment
The yard, verandas and under-house areas are treated where needed.
5
Follow-up
Keep vacuuming daily for two weeks. Heavy cases get a second visit.

How Much Does Flea Treatment Cost?

The cost depends on these things:

Size of the home. A unit is quicker than a large family home.

Floor types. Carpet needs more product and time than hard floors.

The yard. Inside only, or inside plus the yard and under-house areas.

Follow-up. Heavy infestations may need a second visit.

You get the price before any work starts, with no hidden costs. Call 07 3544 9883 or send us the details online for a faster estimate.

Flea Treatment FAQs

Do you treat yards for fleas in Sydney?

Yes. We treat lawns, garden beds, verandas and under-house areas where pets rest, as well as inside the home.

How fast can you treat fleas in Sydney?

Same day visits are often available across Sydney, and urgent jobs can often be reached in 60 minutes*. Our phones are answered 24/7.

How long does a flea treatment take to work?

Adult fleas start dying within hours, but you may see some for up to two weeks as pupae hatch and contact the treated floor. Keep vacuuming daily during that time.

Do I need to leave the house during flea treatment?

Yes. People and pets stay out until treated floors are dry, usually two to four hours. Your technician will tell you when it is fine to go back in.

Why are there fleas in my house if I do not have pets?

Flea pupae can survive in an empty home for months after the last pet left, and possums or cats under the house can also bring fleas in.

Will one flea treatment be enough?

For most homes, one treatment plus regular vacuuming and treated pets is enough. Heavy infestations can need a second visit.

Should I vacuum after flea treatment?

Yes, from the next day. Vacuuming makes pupae hatch and come into contact with the treatment. Empty the vacuum outside each time.

Do you treat the pets?

No. We treat the home and yard. Your vet can recommend the right flea product for your dog or cat, and pets should be treated at the same time.

Do you do flea treatments for end of lease?

Yes. We treat the home after you move out and leave a written record of the treatment for your agent or landlord.
