Flea Control in all Melbourne Suburbs
Fleas are frequently linked with pets, and while fleas are known to create their homes on the bodies of animals, they have also been known to make their way into houses and feed on humans, making flea pest control in Melbourne essential.
They frequently enter a home with a pet because they feed on the animal’s blood. Fleas, more than anything, induce itchiness in the person or pet they bite, which causes irritation in many people. They can be mysterious and difficult to notice because of their small size (typically 2mm to 10mm) and ability to jump great distances.

Signs of Flea Infestation
Signs of a flea infestation include seeing:
- many dot-like insects in your pet's fur
- your pets scratch, lick, or bite their fur excessively
- fleas hopping on your draperies, carpet, or furniture
A flea infestation can also be indicated by a lot of brown and black dirt throughout the fur coat of your pets, requiring professional flea pest control in Melbourne.
Infested areas might cause your pets to develop scabs or lose their fur. Due to blood loss, they may have white gums.
Flea-infested animals are also more susceptible to tapeworms because some tapeworm species feed on fleas. If you notice tapeworms in your pet’s stool, they are most likely infested with fleas.
Why Is Hiring Professional Flea Control in Melbourne Essential?
Managing a flea infestation independently often comes with various challenges, and the outcomes are frequently incomplete. Orbit Pest Control possesses the expertise and state-of-the-art tools necessary to swiftly and thoroughly address the issue, bringing an end to the infestation.
Effective Flea Treatment, Home or Business
Our professionals are well-versed in how to deal with an infestation and effective flea treatment for your home or business. They’ll be able to detect it and get rid of it for good, without the fleas reappearing a month later. Professionals also use the right materials, which are far safer for your family and pets than DIY ones used incorrectly.
Healthy Indoor and Outdoor Environments
Even if your entire house and animals have been treated, there is still a potential that the pests will return if your outdoor area has not been treated. Because there is no DIY treatment for your home’s outdoor space. Professionals will treat the inside and outside of your home.
The threat posed by fleas extends to both you and your pets, given their potential to transmit various diseases. Engaging the services of a professional for the cleaning of your home and lawn ensures that these illnesses won’t proliferate among you, your children, or your pets.

Our Procedure For Flea Control Treatment
After we’ve identified the source of your problem, we’ll send a skilled technician to do a full pest inspection of your home or office. Only after this complete investigation, we will be able to provide an effective service that meets your needs and prevents a future invasion.
Orbit Pest Control in Melbourne provides a comprehensive flea control service that includes a four-step process. We understand how important your family’s and pet’s health and well-being are to you, and we share those thoughts through our services.
Inspection
We will begin our flea treatment for your home or business as soon as you contact us with a flea control request to make your atmosphere healthy and clean. Our professional flea control professionals will come to your home at a convenient time for you.
Our professionals will identify the flea species, check for bites on your dogs, document the fleas’ characteristics and invasion patterns, and more during the inspection.
Flea Infestation Treatment Plan
We will build a unique flea infestation treatment plan for reducing the pests in your surroundings based on the examination results. The treatment technique, instructions to the residents, completion timeline, predicted results, and other details will all be included in the plan.
Before beginning the procedure, we will provide you with all pertinent information and answer any questions you may have.
The Procedure
Our selection of professional treatment services is tailored to eliminate the specific type of flea and the extent of the infestation. Safe treatment practices, including home vacuuming, deployment of flea bombs and foggers, and the application of heat treatment methods, are all incorporated.
Our chemical treatments involve the use of vet-recommended insecticides that are safe for both you and your pets. The comprehensive treatment process targets adult fleas, eggs, larvae, and pupae for thorough removal.
Ongoing Prevention
If you don’t apply ongoing preventative techniques, the treatment won’t give you guaranteed outcomes for long. While frequent cleaning and mopping of your space might help keep fleas at bay, we’ll personalise your advice and measures to your individual surroundings after the flea infestation treatment.

Indoor pets are exposed to a variety of potentially dangerous insects, including fleas. While fleas may appear to be a nuisance, they can potentially transmit diseases to your pet and you! Fleas can be identified by the following symptoms:
- Scratching
- Hair loss
- Welts and red skin
- Ankle bites
- White sock test
- Flea dirt
- Flea eggs hiding in the carpet
- Restless pets
Clean your pet's things with hot water and vet-approved medicine on a daily basis, and use carpet spray to prevent a flea infestation in your home.
Fleas prefer non-human animals to feed on, although they can bite and infect humans. They are tough to remove from the home and can survive without a host for more than 100 days. Flea bites can cause allergic reactions, but they rarely have a major effect on a person's health.
Fleas reproduce in a similar way as butterflies. Females lay eggs that develop into larvae that look like worms. The larvae spin cocoons and pupate into adult fleas, which emerge from the cocoon. About half of the population of fleas are eggs, while only 5% are adults.
Take a look at some of the most effective methods for removing them from your home:
- Fleas can be killed using a topical treatment.
- Fleas can be killed with an oral prescription.
- Fleas can be killed with a pet-safe spray.
- Every couple of days, wash your pet's bedding in hot water.
- Flea shampoo should be used on your pet.
- Make use of a flea comb.
- Veterinary examinations on a regular basis.
Fleas are transmitted from one afflicted animal to another. They quickly transmit between different animals and then into your home when your pets come into sleep with a visitor. Fleas are usually located outside in shaded places, among long grass or bushes, waiting for a host to pass by.
Sam was fantastic. I had my pest control appointment booked and carried out in under 24hrs. Sam is courteous, knowledgeable and arrived in a timely manner. He explaind the whole process before he started and did an amazing efficient job. Well worth getting pest control done annually to protect your family and home. Thank you.
We had a small mice infestation in our apartment. I called Sam at 10am in the morning and he promptly arrived at 12pm to assist with our queries. He helped put mice trap everywhere as well as completely seal any holes in our walls that would enable the rodents to enter our apartment. He caught one live and also answered all our queries related to the infestation. He was also able to pick out carpet ticks as well. We are definitely booking him in the future for more regular checks.
