Fleas do not just live indoors. In Mount Gravatt, shaded parts of the yard can hold large numbers of flea larvae, most of all under trees, along fence lines and in the spots where dogs like to lie. Wildlife and stray cats passing through at night can also drop flea eggs as they go. If the yard is left untreated, fleas can find their way back inside within weeks, even after a good indoor treatment.
The crew we book looks at how the yard is used before they start. They focus on shade, moist soil, garden beds near the house, dog kennels, pet runs and the area under decks and steps. Sunny open grass that dries out quickly usually holds fewer fleas, so it gets less attention. That keeps the treatment where it matters, and it also means fewer chemicals go where they are not needed.
- Shaded areas under trees and along fences
- Dog kennels, pet runs and resting spots
- Garden beds close to the house
- Under decks, steps and verandas
- Paths where stray animals come and go
Before the visit, mow the grass a day or two ahead and pick up toys, hoses and pet bowls. Keep pets inside or away from the yard until the treated areas are dry, which the crew will confirm on the day. Heavy rain soon after a yard treatment can wash some of it away, so it helps to book around a dry spell where you can.
Yards in Mount Gravatt range from small courtyards to big blocks that back onto bush, and the price reflects the size and layout. Your pets need their own flea plan from your vet. Call 07 3543 7767 to book yard flea treatment with upfront pricing.
