Flea Control in North Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast

​

At Provecta Pest Management, we understand that flea infestations can be a significant issue, especially in the warm and humid climate of North Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. Our expert team is here to help you identify, manage, and prevent flea problems effectively.

​

Common Flea Species

• Cat Flea: The most common flea species, cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) are small (about 1.5–3 mm) and can infest both cats and dogs, as well as humans.

• Dog Flea: Similar in appearance to cat fleas, dog fleas (Ctenocephalides canis) primarily infest dogs but can also bite humans.

• Human Flea: Less common but still a concern, human fleas (Pulex irritans) are often found in areas with poor sanitation.

​

​

Signs of Infestation

• Bites: Look for small, itchy red spots on your skin, often appearing in clusters.

• Flea Dirt: Tiny black specks (flea droppings) can be found in pet bedding, carpets, or on your pets themselves.

• Visible Fleas: You may spot fleas jumping on your pets or in areas they frequent.

• Pet Behavior: If your pet is scratching excessively or biting at their skin, it may indicate a flea infestation.
