When it comes to flea extermination and control, Jim’s Pest Control techs are the experts!
We have a vast network of experienced and qualified local flea treatment experts strategically located throughout Brisbane, Gold Coast and Ipswich. Our pest control techs are ready to assist both residential and commercial customers with the prevention, control and eradication of fleas.
Our homes contain ideal conditions for fleas to thrive. Our pets, particularly cats and dogs, are most often affected, making flea infestation a common problem within Australian homes and business. Adult fleas are parasites, with blood being their food source. In warmer weather they can multiply at an astonishing rate and therefore it is important to put in place an effective flea control program to break the cycle.
Signs you need of flea extermination treatment:
- Fleas are visually tiny. They don’t have wings but can jump long distances with extremely powerful legs attaching themselves to humans, pets and other furry animals including rats, mice and livestock.
- Fine flea dirt or eggs.
- Incessant scratching resulting in itchy red swollen bites.
- Your dog or cat scratching frantically attempting to bite the fleas in their fur.
Fleas can:
- Bite and cause skin irritation and localised swelling, which is raised and red with a single bite mark in the centre.
- Spread disease, sickness and in rare cases can cause death.
