Many homes in Mount Gravatt sit up on stumps, with open or partly enclosed space underneath. Dogs and cats love that cool, dry dirt in summer, and stray animals often shelter there too. The result is a build-up of flea eggs and larvae right under the house, which can send fleas back up the stairs and into the living areas. Lowset houses with a subfloor can have the same problem on a smaller scale.
The crew we book treats the dirt floor, the base of stumps and walls, storage corners and any bedding or mats left down there. If the area is used as a laundry, rumpus or storage room, they treat the floor there as well. Crawl spaces are treated from the access point as far as the crew can reach. Access matters, so please clear boxes, bikes and old furniture from the main areas before the visit.
- Open dirt under highset houses
- Enclosed rumpus, laundry and storage areas
- Spots where pets or stray animals sleep
- Stairs and entry points up into the house
- Old mats, blankets and bedding left underneath
Underfloor work is often the missing piece when an indoor treatment has not held. If pets keep going under the house, the fleas there will keep coming back up. Keep animals out of the area until the crew says it is ready, and ask your vet about flea treatment for the pets themselves. Once dry, the space can be used as normal.
Highset timber houses are common across Mount Gravatt and the nearby hills, so this is one of the jobs we book most often. Call 07 3543 7767 and tell us roughly how big the underfloor area is, and we will give you upfront pricing.
