Signs of fleas
Perth's warm climate keeps flea populations active for most of the year, and homes with pets, sandy soil, or shaded garden beds provide ideal breeding conditions. Rental properties are also required to provide proof of flea treatment when vacating, which Elite Pest Control can supply.
Small, dark insects jumping on carpets, bedding, or pet fur
Itchy, red bite marks, often in clusters around ankles and lower legs
Pets scratching more than usual, or visible flea dirt in their fur
Tiny black specks on carpets or pet bedding, flea droppings that turn reddish when wet
How we get rid of fleas
Treat pets directly
A flea infestation almost always starts with an infected pet, so treating the animal is the first step alongside the property.
Treat carpets and soft furnishings
Internal treatment targets fleas and eggs in carpets, rugs and pet bedding, where most of the life cycle plays out.
Treat garden and paved areas
External treatment covers paving and garden beds, common flea breeding grounds in Perth's climate.
Vacuum before and after treatment
Vacuuming helps disturb eggs and pupae, improving how effective the treatment is.

We have been with these guys for years, and will be for years. The service has always been good!
Suzanne was great when booking in and once I explained what pest issues were happening she told me the solutions. The spray guy was informative as well and tended to our needs. Thanks Elite.
Job done. Pleasant and helpful company to deal with.
Flea control FAQs
Internal, external, and combined internal and external options are available — see the pricing above for current rates. Ask about the combined option when booking, as the right choice depends on property size and infestation level.
It depends on the treatment used and the areas being sprayed. A technician can confirm re-entry timing when the job is booked, so you know exactly what to plan around.
Fleas can return if pets aren't treated at the same time, or if eggs already in the carpet weren't fully addressed. Vacuuming before and after treatment, and treating pets directly, both help prevent reinfestation.
Yes. Documentation can be provided as proof of service for rental vacating requirements, confirming the treatment carried out and the date it was completed. This is commonly requested by property managers as part of the end of lease process, so it's worth booking with enough notice before your final inspection.

Termites
Termites cause millions of dollars in damage to Australian homes every year, most of it not covered by insurance, and much of the damage happens before it's ever detected. Elite Pest Control treats active infestations, protects new builds before the slab is poured, and inspects established homes and properties before settlement.
Millipedes
Portuguese millipedes invade Perth homes in large numbers every autumn, drawn in by the first rains and by lights left on at night. They're not harmful to people or pets, but a swarm of thousands is a genuine nuisance, and they release a smelly secretion if crushed that can stain skin, clothes and flooring. Elite Pest Control's external barrier treatment stops them before they reach the building.
Ants
Ants nest behind walls, under paving, and in wall or roof cavities, and a single nest can produce a new colony fast if it isn't treated at the source. Elite Pest Control treats ant infestations with targeted baiting and spraying, matched to the species and nest location.
