The Problem with a Flea Infestation
Fleas are known disease transmitters. They can transmit other parasites like tapeworm larvae, as well as the notorious bubonic plague from wild rodents to humans in certain parts of the world, thankfully not Australia. You will know when you have been bitten by a flea as the bite area will be extremely itchy, with a red swollen lump developing within half an hour to an hour of the bite. That’s why ensuring you have the right flea control measures is vital in the prevention of bites.

The clearest sign is small, itchy red bumps on your ankles and lower legs, along with your pets scratching more than usual. You may also spot tiny dark specks (flea dirt) on pet bedding or carpets.
Yes, fleas can be brought in on clothing, secondhand furniture, or by wildlife visiting your yard, and they’ll happily bite humans if there’s no pet host readily available.
A red, swollen, itchy bump usually appears within half an hour to an hour of a bite and can take several days to fully settle, though scratching can prolong irritation or lead to infection.
Fleas are known disease vectors overseas, carrying things like tapeworm larvae, but serious diseases like plague are not a concern in Australia, though the itching and irritation from bites is still a real problem.
Treating your pet is essential but usually not enough on its own, since flea eggs and larvae can live in carpets, bedding and cracks in flooring for weeks, meaning the home also needs treating to break the cycle.
Fleas thrive in warm, humid conditions, so numbers typically peak over the warmer months, though established indoor infestations can persist year-round in a heated home.
Regular vacuuming and washing pet bedding helps reduce numbers and is recommended alongside treatment, but a professional flea treatment is usually needed to fully break an established infestation.
Very quickly. A single flea can lay dozens of eggs within days, so a small problem can multiply into a full infestation within just a couple of weeks if left untreated.
Treat pets with a vet-recommended product, wash bedding on a hot cycle and vacuum carpets, rugs and furniture regularly. Eggs and pupae can keep hatching, so a professional home treatment is usually needed to break the cycle. Pestline treats all life stages. Call 1300 361 646.

Usually because eggs and larvae in carpets, bedding and cracks in flooring weren’t treated, or because a pet wasn’t treated at the same time. Treating both the pet and the home breaks the cycle.
Fleas and their eggs and larvae collect in carpets, pet bedding, sofas, rugs and cracks in flooring, especially where pets sleep. Dark specks (flea dirt) on bedding can show where to look.
Pestline’s flea treatments are pet-safe and designed to be safe around your family. Ask your technician about re-entry and how to prepare your home and pets before treatment.
Cost depends on the size of your home, the severity of the infestation and whether the yard needs treatment. Pestline offers a free, no-obligation quote. Call 1300 361 646 or use the online form.
