Fleas: how to protect your home with pet-safe flea control

If you think fleas are just a summer problem, think again. In Melbourne’s mild climate, fleas can survive indoors all year, and once they enter your home, they spread fast.

A pet flea infestation often begins when your dog or cat brushes past fleas outdoors. From there, fleas lay eggs in carpets, bedding, lounges and floorboards. Before you know it, you’re dealing with itching pets, unexplained bites on ankles, and tiny black specks (flea poo) in your home.

The key to effective flea control is treating more than just your pet. While vet-approved pet treatments are essential, professional flea treatment for homes targets hidden eggs and larvae in carpets, cracks and soft furnishings, stopping the lifecycle completely.

At Button Pest Control, we use proven, pet-safe treatments designed to eliminate active fleas while providing residual protection.

For ongoing prevention:

✔ Wash pet bedding weekly in hot water

✔ Vacuum carpets and upholstery regularly

✔ Keep lawns trimmed and outdoor areas tidy

✔ Maintain consistent vet-recommended flea prevention

Don’t let fleas make themselves at home. Early action means faster relief, for you and your pets.
