Flea Pest Control Grafton
Flea Pest Control Grafton Solutions
Flea pest control Grafton is something every pet owner may need at some point. Whether it’s your dog scratching constantly or finding bites around your ankles, fleas can quickly turn into a full-blown infestation that’s difficult to manage without help.
At Detecta Pest, we offer safe and effective flea treatments for homes and businesses across Grafton. Our treatments don’t just kill adult fleas — they target the eggs and larvae too, which is the only way to truly break the flea lifecycle and prevent reinfestation.
Why Fleas Are a Serious Problem
Fleas are more than just a nuisance. They:
- Cause intense itching for pets and people
- Can lead to rashes, allergic reactions, and weeping sores
- Are a leading cause of skin disease in pets
- Can infest carpets, bedding, couches, and even cracks in floors
- Multiply rapidly — a single female can lay up to 50 eggs per day
If you’re experiencing flea bites or seeing small black specks in pet fur or on floors (known as “flea dirt”), it’s time to take action.
How Did I Get Fleas?
The most common way fleas enter the home is through your pets. Dogs and cats pick up fleas outdoors or from other animals, and bring them indoors where the warmth, food supply, and soft furnishings create ideal breeding conditions.
Once inside, fleas lay eggs in:
- Carpet fibres
- Pet bedding and furniture
- Floorboard cracks
- Soft furnishings and rugs
Even if you kill adult fleas, eggs and larvae will remain hidden — which is why infestations often come back weeks later without professional treatment.

Our Flea Treatment Process
At Detecta Pest, we take a comprehensive approach to flea control that eliminates all stages of the flea lifecycle:
- Inspection and Identification
We confirm the presence of fleas and assess key hotspots in your home — including pet sleeping areas, carpeted zones, and soft furnishings. - Professional Flea Treatment
We apply a residual insecticide treatment that targets:- Adult fleas
- Eggs
- Larvae
- Adult fleas
- We treat carpeted areas, skirting boards, pet bedding zones, and entry points. Our treatments are safe for pets and people once dry.
- Pet and Vet Coordination
We recommend your pets be treated on the same day with vet-approved flea control products. This is essential to prevent reinfestation. - Aftercare Instructions
We provide advice on vacuuming, laundry, and environmental care to maximise the effectiveness of the treatment and prevent fleas from returning.
Most customers see a dramatic reduction in fleas within 24–72 hours after treatment, with full control achieved once the residual product continues to affect newly hatched fleas.
