Time on Site

Most initial treatments take 1–3 hours on site depending on property size and infestation severity with a typical follow‑up visit of 30–90 minutes carried out 7–14 days later

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• how many years' experience do you have treating household flea infestations

• do you use pet‑ and child‑safe products and can you provide safety data sheets

• will you need access to lofts, underbeds or upholstery and what prep do you expect from us

• do you include follow‑up visits in the price and what guarantee do you offer if fleas return

• are you insured and a member of a recognised pest‑control body

• how long before people and pets can re‑enter treated rooms and are there ventilation requirements

How to Avoid Surprises

• secure pets and keep them out of treatment areas on the day

• launder or bag bedding and soft toys beforehand as advised by the tradie

• ensure clear access to affected rooms, lofts and garden entrances if outdoor treatments are needed

• arrange parking close to the property for the technician's vehicle

• tell the tradie about infants, elderly or immunocompromised household members before treatment

• check whether extra cleaning or upholstery/carpet services are needed and budget for them
