Fleas

Fleas are more than just a nuisance—they’re a major cause of skin irritation and allergic reactions in both people and pets. Even a single bite can cause severe itching, especially in animals or individuals with heightened sensitivity. Adult fleas can survive for up to four months without feeding, while their eggs can lie dormant in carpets, bedding, or soil for up to ten months—making infestations difficult to fully eliminate without professional intervention.

Fleas can also transmit tapeworms and other harmful diseases, further emphasizing the need for effective control measures.

At Brisbane Pest Management, we use a targeted chemical treatment designed to break the flea breeding cycle, not just kill adult fleas. While the full eradication process can take up to six weeks, this ensures that all fleas—at every stage of their lifecycle—are eliminated. During this period, some flea activity may still be observed as remaining fleas come into contact with the treatment.

Due to the complexity of flea lifecycles and breeding behavior, DIY treatments are rarely effective. That’s why our team conducts a detailed assessment of your infestation level and applies a comprehensive chemical treatment program, tailored to your home.

We also provide clear prevention protocols to help safeguard your family and pets against future flea problems—ensuring peace of mind and long-term protection.
