Fleas in the House? Professional Flea Control in Newcastle
Fleas don't just make pets miserable — they bite humans, infest carpets and can persist for months. A single treatment often isn't enough because eggs, larvae and pupae continue developing after adults are killed.
The Problem
Fleas reproduce rapidly, with eggs falling into carpets, bedding and floorboard gaps. The pupal stage is protected inside a cocoon and can survive for months, hatching when they sense vibration — which is why fleas often 'return' after treatment.
Our Solution
We apply a thorough internal treatment to carpets, floor areas, pet resting spots and skirting perimeters, plus external treatment where pets spend time. We advise on the critical role of pet treatment by your vet and daily vacuuming to stimulate pupae to hatch.

FAQ
Fleas in the House — your questions answered
How much does flea treatment cost?+
Flea treatment is from $195 for units and townhouses and $220 for single and double storey homes standalone. Bundled with a general pest spray: $165. Active infestations almost always require a follow-up to break the lifecycle.
Why do fleas come back after treatment?+
Flea pupae are protected inside cocoons and can survive for months. They hatch when they sense vibration. Daily vacuuming after treatment stimulates pupae to hatch into treated surfaces, breaking the lifecycle.
Do I need to treat my pet too?+
Yes — treating your pet with a vet-recommended flea product is essential. We treat the environment, but without treating the pet, fleas will continue to reproduce and re-infest the home.
