Flea Control Service Melbourne
Fleas in your home? Martin Pest Control eliminates them at every life stage — APVMA-certified, child and pet safe. The adult fleas you see are only 5% of the problem; the remaining 95% are hiding in carpets and bedding. Our licensed technicians use professional-grade treatments and growth regulators to break the cycle completely. Book your free inspection today.

Important: Vacuum your carpets, furniture and skirting boards thoroughly before our technician arrives — this triggers dormant flea pupae to hatch into adults, making the treatment far more effective. Do not vacuum again for at least seven days after treatment. This allows the residual insecticide to keep working across the full flea life cycle.
Melbourne’s Most Trusted Flea Control Specialists
We are a dedicated, APVMA-certified team with years of experience eliminating flea infestations from homes, rental properties and commercial premises across greater Melbourne. Cat fleas, dog fleas, rat fleas — we identify the source, treat the full life cycle and stop the infestation from coming back.
APVMA-Certified Specialist · Targeted life-cycle treatment on every job
Thousands of flea treatments completed across Melbourne homes, rental properties and end-of-lease jobs. We treat every harbourage area — carpets, floorboards, subfloors, pet bedding and furniture — in a single professional visit.
Available every day of the year including weekends and public holidays. We typically dispatch a technician within a few hours of your call, any time of day or night to resolve urgent infestations.
Every treatment uses only government-approved products applied by licensed technicians. We carry full public liability insurance so you are completely protected throughout the process.
We combine residual insecticide with insect growth regulators (IGRs) that prevent eggs and larvae from developing. This separates professional treatment from hardware store sprays that only target adults.
Free on-site inspection and a fully itemised quote before any work begins. No hidden fees, no call-out charges, and no pressure. You decide after seeing the complete scope and cost.
We provide documented treatments that satisfy rental agreement requirements across Melbourne. Fast, compliant and fully certified — providing written confirmation for your property manager or real estate agent.
What Melbourne Residents Are Saying
Found a massive hive under our eaves on a Sunday. Martin had a technician at our door within three hours. Professional, thorough and the hive was completely removed. Outstanding service — would not hesitate to call again.
Reasonable pricing, same-day response and the job was done properly first time. They inspected our full roof cavity, not just the visible nest. The technician explained every step clearly before starting. Very professional.
My daughter is severely allergic to bee stings so I was extremely worried. Martin came the same afternoon, treated the area with great care and gave us a full prevention report. I genuinely cannot recommend them highly enough.
A Single Female Flea Lays Up to 50 Eggs Per Day Directly in Your Carpet
Flea populations explode rapidly in Melbourne’s warm months. A small number of adult fleas on your pet can produce hundreds of eggs within days — eggs that fall directly into carpet fibres, bedding and floor cracks where they develop unseen. By the time you notice bites, thousands of fleas are already in your home.
Complete Pest Control for Melbourne
Complete flea life cycle treatment for carpets, hard floors, skirting boards, subfloors, pet bedding, furniture and outdoor areas. Professional insecticide plus insect growth regulators — one thorough visit, full property coverage, written confirmation provided.
How We Eliminate Fleas — Step by Step
A thorough, life-cycle-complete approach that eliminates the infestation at every stage — not just the adults on the surface — from your first call through to your written service report.
Contact us any time — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Describe what you’ve noticed, whether you have pets, and your address. We will give you preparation steps to carry out before we arrive to maximise treatment effectiveness.
Our certified technician arrives — typically same day. We assess infestation severity, locate all breeding zones — carpets, subfloor, bedding, and furniture — and confirm pet treatment status before proceeding.
We apply APVMA-approved residual insecticide with growth regulators to all floors, skirting boards, under furniture, pet sleeping areas, and subfloor. All occupants, including pets, must vacate for three hours.
We provide a written service report and clear instructions: do not vacuum for seven days, wash pet bedding at high heat, and ensure your vet has treated your pets on the same day. Following these steps is essential to fully break the life cycle.
Fleas Can Infest Your Home Even Without Pets
Fleas enter Melbourne homes on rodents, possums, birds and even on clothing. If you have moved into a property previously occupied by pets, dormant flea pupae can survive in carpets for months — hatching the moment they detect body heat and vibration. You do not need a pet to have a serious flea problem.
How to Prevent Flea Infestations
Treating your pet kills adult fleas on their body but ignores the eggs, larvae, and pupae in your flooring. Professional property treatment is required to break the life cycle and prevent immediate reinfestation.

Speak to your vet about a year-round flea prevention programme for all pets in the home. Flea prevention on your pet is the single most effective way to stop fleas entering your home. Treat all pets simultaneously — fleas will simply transfer to an untreated animal if only one is treated.
Wash all pet bedding, blankets and soft furnishings your pet sleeps on at 60°C or above weekly. This kills eggs and larvae before they develop. Vacuum pet sleeping areas regularly and dispose of the vacuum bag or empty the canister outside immediately after use.
Regular vacuuming of all carpeted areas, furniture and skirting board edges removes eggs and larvae and triggers dormant pupae to hatch — making them vulnerable to any residual treatment in place. Focus on areas where pets sleep and rest, and vacuum along wall edges where eggs accumulate.
If you are moving into a property that previously housed pets, book a flea treatment before you move your belongings in. Dormant flea pupae in the carpet can survive for months without a host and will hatch within hours of detecting your body heat. A preventative treatment costs far less than treating an established infestation.
