Flea Treatment in Cape Town

Fleas Control in Cape Town

Flea activity in Cape Town rises noticeably in the warmer months and in homes with gardens bordering fynbos or open ground, where flea larvae can survive in shaded outdoor areas before moving indoors on pets. Combined home and pet treatment is essential for lasting results.

Signs You Have a Fleas Problem

• Pets scratching, biting, or grooming excessively
• Small dark specks (flea dirt) on pet bedding or carpets
• Tiny fast-moving insects visible on light-coloured floors or socks
• Red, itchy bite marks on ankles and lower legs

Treatment Methods Used in Cape Town

• Residual insecticide spray to carpets, skirting boards, and soft furnishings
• Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) treatment to break the breeding cycle
• Pet environment treatment — bedding, kennels, and resting areas
• Follow-up treatment after 2 weeks to catch hatching larvae
