Flea Control

Flea infestations in Melbourne’s Southeast often peak during our humid summer months or when moving into a new rental property. Because fleas have a complex lifecycle, a simple “bomb” from the supermarket rarely works. You need a professional approach that targets every stage of development.

Signs You Have a Flea Infestation

A flea infestation can quickly turn your home into an uncomfortable environment for both your family and your pets. These hardy pests are known for their ability to survive in carpets and floorboards for months without a host. At Repel Pest Solutions, we provide comprehensive flea treatments that break the breeding cycle for good.

Pets Scratching or Grooming Excessively

The most common sign is a restless pet. If your dog or cat is constantly scratching, licking, or biting at their fur—particularly around the neck, hindquarters, and base of the tail—fleas are likely the culprit.

Bites Around Your Ankles

Fleas generally stay low to the ground. If humans in the house are experiencing small, red, itchy bumps—usually clustered around the ankles and lower legs—you have an active infestation in your floor coverings.

Visible Jumping Insects

Adult fleas are tiny (1–2mm), reddish-brown, and wingless. They are incredible jumpers. You might spot them leaping off your carpet, rug, or curtains when they sense movement or heat nearby.

Flea Eggs in High-Traffic Areas

Flea eggs are tiny, white, oval-shaped specks. They are often dropped by pets into carpet fibres, rug piles, or the cracks between floorboards. While hard to see with the naked eye, a concentration of these indicates a massive "nursery" under your feet.

Our Comprehensive Flea Treatment

Standard sprays only kill adult fleas. Our treatment is designed to eliminate the entire population.

Species Identification

We confirm the source of the infestation to ensure the correct treatment plan is applied.

Growth Regulators

We use specialized Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) that prevent flea larvae from ever reaching adulthood, effectively breaking the lifecycle.
