Fleas usually arrive at a Lara home on a pet, but once inside they settle into carpet, rugs, pet bedding and the cracks in timber floors, and a bite or two on the ankles is often the first sign something is wrong. Warm stretches of weather make it easier for flea eggs and larvae to develop, so a small problem can build up quickly once it starts.
Tell us whether the fleas are mostly inside, in the yard, or both, and whether pets are up to date with their own flea treatment, since that changes what the crew we book focuses on. The crew treats carpets, skirting boards, pet bedding and shaded areas of the yard where fleas tend to breed, working through the property in stages.
Lara homes with a shaded yard, a dog run or an older carpet that has not been replaced in a while tend to hold fleas longer than a home with mostly hard flooring. A local team that covers this area regularly checks both the obvious spots and the ones that get missed.
A flea problem can take a few weeks to fully settle down, since eggs and larvae tucked into carpet fibres hatch in stages rather than all at once. Vacuuming daily in the days after a visit helps remove eggs before they hatch, and the crew will explain what to do in the days and weeks afterwards.
