Professional Flea Extermination in Melbourne

Are you or your pets itching from flea bites? These tiny pests are more than a nuisance; they can cause allergic reactions and spread quickly throughout your Melbourne home. At TIM, we specialise in effective flea pest control that eliminates infestations at the source, ensuring a comfortable environment for your family and pets.

Signs of a Flea Infestation:

  • Pets Scratching Excessively: Constant itching or grooming in your pets is a primary warning sign.
  • Itchy Bites on Humans: Flea bites often appear as small, red, itchy bumps on ankles and legs.
  • Seeing Fleas: Spotting small, dark, fast-moving insects jumping from carpets or pet bedding.

Why Choose TIM Flea Control Services?

Fleas are resilient. Their life cycle allows eggs and larvae to survive in carpets and furniture for months, emerging with vibrations. Our professional flea treatment breaks this cycle.

  • Rapid Response: We offer fast service to tackle your infestation before it worsens.
  • Pet & Family Safe Solutions: Our treatments are carefully selected to be effective against fleas yet safe for your loved ones.
  • Thorough Inspection: We identify flea hotspots throughout your property.
  • Long-Lasting Results: We don’t just kill adult fleas; we target eggs and larvae to prevent re-infestation.

Don't let fleas take over your home.

Termite Inspection Melbourne provides the reliable solution you need.

Your Preparation Guide for Effective Flea Control

To ensure the success of our flea control treatment, we recommend these steps:

Before Treatment:

  1. Consult Your Veterinarian: Arrange for your pets to be treated for fleas on the same day as our service.
  2. Vacuum Thoroughly: Vacuum all carpets, rugs, upholstery, and floor cracks just before we arrive. This brings larvae to the surface for easier elimination.

After Treatment:

  • Avoid Vacuuming: Please do not vacuum for 7 days after treatment to allow the product to work effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to get rid of fleas in the house?

Eliminating a flea infestation requires a multi-step approach to break their life cycle. Here is a proven strategy:

  1. Treat Your Pets:This is the first and most critical step. Consult your veterinarian for an effective flea treatment for your cats and dogs. Without this, pets will continue to bring fleas inside.
  2. Thorough Cleaning:
  • Vacuum Aggressively: Vacuum all carpets, rugs, furniture, and pet bedding daily. Pay special attention to baseboards, corners, and under furniture. Immediately seal and dispose of the vacuum bag outside.
  • Wash Fabrics: Wash all pet bedding, sofa covers, and small rugs in hot, soapy water.
  1. Professional Pest Control (The Most Effective Step):
    While the steps above manage the problem, they often fail to eliminate hidden eggs and larvae deep in carpets and floorboards. Professional flea treatmentis the only way to guarantee complete eradication.

Our service includes:

  • Inspection: Identifying flea hotspots throughout your home.
  • Targeted Treatment: Applying safe, residual insecticides that kill adult fleas, eggs, and larvae.
  • Prevention Advice: Guidance on how to keep fleas from returning.

Surprisingly, adult fleas can only live for a few days to two weeks without a blood meal from a host like a pet. However, the real danger lies in the flea life cycle.

While adults starve quickly, flea eggs, larvae, and pupae can survive in your carpets, furniture, and floorboards for several months to over a year without a pet. They lie dormant, waiting for vibrations, warmth, or the carbon dioxide from a passing host (like a human) to emerge as biting adults.

This is why a home can remain infested long after a pet is gone. The hidden eggs and pupae will continue to develop, causing recurring problems.

Without professional treatment, a flea infestation can last for months or even over a year. This is because of the flea life cycle.

  • Adult Fleas (the biting stage) live for a few weeks on a host.
  • However, their eggs, larvae, and pupae can lie dormant in your carpets and furniture for months, resistant to many DIY methods. New adults continuously emerge, restarting the cycle.

The infestation will only truly be over once every egg, larva, and pupae has been eliminated.

Don’t endure months of itching. A single professional treatment breaks the cycle fast. Contact us today for a guaranteed solution!

While fleas can and will bite humans, they cannot infest us in the same way they do pets.

Human skin and hair do not provide the ideal environment for fleas to live and reproduce. They prefer the dense fur of animals like cats and dogs, which offers protection and a stable environment.

However, in a severe infestation with no animal hosts present, fleas will readily bite humans for a blood meal, causing itchy, red bumps, typically around the ankles and legs.

No, fleas cannot fly. They do not have wings.

Instead, they use their powerful back legs to jump extraordinary distances—up to 200 times their body length. This jumping ability is why they seem to appear out of nowhere and can easily move from carpets onto pets or people.

Seeing jumping pests in your home? You likely have a flea infestation. Contact us today for a professional identification and guaranteed treatment.

Yes, but not in the way you might think. Fleas do not live on humans like they do on pets, so a few adult fleas might hitch a ride on your clothing, shoes, or bags. This is a common way for an infestation to be accidentally brought into a new home.

However, the most significant risk is transporting flea eggs or larvae, which can be shaken from your clothes or belongings onto carpets and furniture, starting a new infestation.

Moving into a new home or worried you’ve brought fleas with you? Schedule a professional inspection to ensure your space is flea-free from the start.

Look for these key signs of a flea infestation:

  • Pets Scratching: The most common sign is your cat or dog scratching, licking, or biting their fur excessively.
  • Flea Bites on You: Check for small, red, itchy bumps, often clustered on your ankles, legs, or feet.
  • Seeing Fleas: Spot tiny, fast-moving, dark brown insects jumping from carpets or pet bedding.
  • “Flea Dirt”: Look for black pepper-like specks on pet bedding, carpets, or furniture. To confirm it’s flea dirt (flea droppings), place the specks on a wet paper towel; if they turn reddish-brown, it’s digested blood.

Noticed any of these warning signs? You likely have an active infestation. Contact us today for a professional inspection and a guaranteed treatment plan.

You can be confident the infestation is over after you’ve passed these key tests:

  • The Sock Test: Walk around in white socks. If no tiny dark insects jump onto them after 30 minutes, it’s a good sign.
  • No New Bites: You and your family stop getting new, itchy flea bites.
  • Pets Are Calm: Your pets stop scratching and grooming excessively.
  • No Signs of Life: You see no live fleas or new “flea dirt” (black specks that turn red when wet) for at least 2-3 weeks.

Why wait and wonder? Our professional treatments come with a guarantee for your peace of mind.

Conducting a simple flea check can confirm an infestation early. Here’s a quick, effective method:

  1. The White Sock Test:
  • Put on a pair of knee-high white socks.
  • Walk slowly and shuffle your feet across carpets, rugs, and pet bedding for about 10-15 minutes.
  • If fleas are present, you will see tiny, dark brown insects (about 2mm long) jump onto the white fabric.
  1. Inspect Your Pet:
  • Use a fine-toothed flea comb on your pet, especially over the back, neck, and belly. Look for live fleas or black “flea dirt” (their droppings) that turn red when wet.
  1. Look for “Flea Dirt”:
  • Check pet bedding, carpets, and upholstery for black, pepper-like specks. Place some on a damp paper towel; if it leaves a reddish-brown stain, it’s digested blood, confirming fleas.

You will typically see a significant reduction in adult flea activity within 24 to 48 hours after our treatment. However, the insecticide continues to work for weeks.

Here’s a timeline of what to expect:

  • First 24-48 Hours: Most adult fleas will be killed on contact.
  • Following 2 Weeks: The residual treatment continues to eliminate newly hatched fleas as they emerge from protected pupae, breaking the life cycle.

It’s normal to see a few fleas during this period, as the treatment needs time to work on the entire population. Avoid vacuuming for the first 5-7 days to allow the product to work effectively.

Our treatments are designed for complete, long-lasting results. For a guaranteed solution, trust our professional service!
