Treatment Process
Discussing and Inspecting Your Flea Problem
Our Surekill Technician will discuss your specific flea issue and conduct an Environmental Inspection Report to ensure it's safe to proceed with the treatment, as required by the EPA.
Payment Options
We accept various payment methods, including cash, credit, or eftpos. Payment is required at the start of the treatment unless specific written arrangements have been made.
Complete Treatment Coverage
Our technician will spray all surfaces inside and outside your property, ensuring thorough coverage:
-
Inside: Hard floors, surfaces, carpets, rugs, and under furniture.
-
Outside: Grass, gardens, yard, patio, verandas, and decks.
We utilise the safest pesticides available, including Insect Growth Regulators (IGR) to disrupt the flea life cycle.
05
After Treatment: Your Pest Management Plan
Our technical will provide a Pest Management Plan during your visit, detailing how long until your next treatment. Let our technician know about any other pest issues you may have during the visit. They can discuss additional treatments or monitoring options with you to include in your Pest Management Plan. We'll also send you a reminder text or email for your next treatment.
Note: Avoid contact with treated surfaces until the chemical agent has dried.
Encouraging Flea Egg Hatching: After treatment, walking around your property helps wake up dormant flea eggs. Flea eggs cannot be killed by any chemical; they will hatch upon sensing movement, allowing them to contact the treatment.
Note: Flea eggs can lay dormant for over a year.
