Melbourne's Fleas & Ticks Pest ControlSpecialists

Fleas and ticks are more than just a nuisance—they pose real health risks to both humans and pets. At My Pest Control Pty Ltd, we offer safe, targeted, and highly effective flea and tick control solutions for homes, businesses, and pet-friendly properties throughout Melbourne and Regional Victoria.

Flea Control Services

Fleas are small, wingless insects that thrive in warm environments and feed on the blood of mammals and birds. Known for their itchy bites, fleas can also transmit parasites like tapeworms and bacteria such as Bartonella. Our flea control program is designed to break the flea life cycle and reduce the risk of infestation inside and outside your property.

Our Flea Treatment Includes:

● Thorough inspection of indoor and outdoor areas
● Residual insecticide treatments on carpets, skirting boards, and pet bedding
● Yard treatments where pets rest or play
● Advice on pet flea control products
● Follow-up recommendations to avoid reinfestation

Common Flea Indicators:

● Excessive scratching by pets
● Tiny black specks (flea dirt) on pet fur or bedding
● Bite marks on lower legs or ankles
● Sightings of small jumping insects

Health Risks:

● Allergic reactions and dermatitis
● Transmission of tapeworms and Bartonella (cat scratch disease)

Tick Control Services

Ticks are parasitic arachnids that feed on the blood of animals and humans. In Melbourne and across Victoria, several tick species can pose serious health risks, especially for pets. While the Paralysis Tick (Ixodes holocyclus) is more common along the east coast, Brown Dog Ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) and Bush Ticks (Haemaphysalis longicornis) are occasionally found in Victoria and may attach to pets and wildlife.

Tick Threats Include:

● Paralysis in pets
● Transmission of tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme-like disease and tick typhus
● Localised irritation, inflammation, and allergic reactions in humans

Our Tick Control Service Features:

● Site inspection to identify high-risk tick areas
● Yard and perimeter spraying using approved acaricides
● Targeted treatment of garden beds, lawns, kennels, and shaded areas
● Pet-safe strategies and tick prevention advice

Tick Prevention Tips:

● Regularly check pets for ticks, especially after walks
● Mow lawns and remove tall grasses and leaf litter
● Use veterinarian-recommended tick prevention products
● Avoid wildlife-attracting elements like open compost and standing water

Signs of Tick Infestation:

● Lethargy or unsteadiness in pets
● Visible ticks on pets or human skin
● Swelling or irritation at bite sites

Tick Life Cycle

Ticks go through four developmental stages: egg, larva, nymph, and adult. Unlike fleas, ticks feed only once during each stage of life and may take weeks or months to progress.

1. Egg Stage: Female ticks lay thousands of eggs in sheltered outdoor environments such as leaf litter or cracks in soil.

2. Larval Stage (Seed Ticks): Six-legged larvae hatch and seek a host. After feeding, they drop off to molt into nymphs.

3. Nymph Stage: Nymphs have eight legs and must feed again. They are very small and often go unnoticed, making them high-risk for disease transmission.

4. Adult Stage: After one more molt, ticks reach adulthood. Adults seek larger hosts like pets or humans. Female adults feed, mate, and then lay eggs to restart the cycle.

Ticks can survive for extended periods without feeding and are highly resilient in shaded, humid
environments. This makes professional control and long-term prevention essential.
