Moving house is a whirlwind of packing, cleaning, and logistics. Amidst the chaos, one crucial step often gets overlooked, especially by pet owners: end of lease flea treatment. This isn’t just about leaving a tidy space; it’s a vital part of ensuring a smooth move and, crucially, securing your bond return. At Flick Pest Control, we understand the specific requirements for move-out flea and tick control in Australia, and we’re here to guide tenants through this essential process.
Understanding Your Responsibilities: Fleas, Ticks, and Your Lease
If you’ve had pets in your rental property, it’s highly likely your lease agreement includes specific clauses regarding pest control upon vacating. These clauses typically stipulate that you, as the tenant, are responsible for addressing any flea or tick infestations that may have occurred during your tenancy. These tenant responsibilities often extend to ensuring the property is treated by a qualified professional. Fleas and ticks can easily hide in carpets, cracks, and crevices, and their eggs can lie dormant for months, leading to re-infestation even after you’ve moved out. A professional flea tick spray is necessary to break this life cycle completely.
Why Professional Flea & Tick Control is Essential for Move-Out
While DIY flea control products are readily available, they are often ineffective for comprehensive end of lease flea treatment. Store-bought sprays rarely reach hidden eggs and larvae, leading to quick re-infestation. For a successful bond back pest control outcome, real estate agents and landlords typically require a certificate of professional flea treatment before moving out. A professional flea tick spray ensures thorough coverage, targeting all stages of the flea and tick life cycle, including those hidden in carpet fibres and floorboards. This level of comprehensive pest control is crucial to meet tenancy agreement standards and ensure the property is truly pest-free for the next occupants.
