It is not uncommon for pet owners to notice fleas all around their home – no matter how well you take care of your little furry friend, they are bound to catch fleas at some point and move them into your home.
Fleas are unwelcome guests because they are known to cause allergies in some people and even transmit certain diseases. Furthermore, they tend to bite and leave itchy marks if they get to the skin. The biggest issue is that they can be quite difficult to get rid of as your home, most of your items, and pets who transmit the fleas must be treated.
Ulysses Pest Control has over 40 years of industry experience, and during this time, we have helped numerous Aussie owners clear their homes from fleas. We are at your service to advise you on the most adequate measures of prevention to minimise the chances of these nasty pests appearing in your home.
However, keeping them at bay is challenging, especially if you allow your pets to enter the house and sleep indoors. This is where our professional flea treatment services come into play – using the best insecticides on the market. Our professionals target the most critical spots in your home to repel the pests for as long as possible.
Our flea treatment services are designed to help you eliminate fleas effectively and for as long as possible. Over the years, we came up with a bullet-proof process:
We will take the time to educate you on the best prevention measures and products you can use around your home and for pet grooming. It is recommended when we treat the fleas at your property, that you perform a separate flea treatment of your pet at the same time to assist in total flea eradication.
We will also point out the most critical corners of your home where you are likely to discover fleas again in the future. Give us a call right away so that we can perform flea treatment while they are still somewhat contained.
If your dog or cat scratches more often than normal, inspect their skin for bites and red spots. Next, take a closer look at your furniture, pets’ bedding, cracks in the floor, and carpets—chances are, fleas have laid their eggs somewhere around your home.
When you are a pet owner and vacating a property, RTA Queensland requires a Tick and Flea Treatment of your home. We specialise in this treatment and can arrange it at short notice. After completing the Tick and Flea Treatment, we will supply you with a Pest Management Treatment Advice Notice for your real estate records.

Common signs include pets scratching excessively, spotting fleas on your pet or in their bedding, flea dirt (tiny black specks) in pet fur or around the house, and flea bites on humans, which appear as small, red, itchy bumps.
Fleas usually enter homes on pets but can also hitch a ride on clothing, shoes, and other items. Once inside, they thrive in warm, humid environments and can multiply quickly.
We offer a range of flea treatments Cairns-and surrounding areas, including: Professional-grade insecticides applied to carpets, rugs, and upholstery. Flea foggers and sprays for comprehensive indoor treatment. Recommendations for effective pet treatments. Follow-up visits to ensure complete eradication.
Yes, our flea pest control treatments are designed to be safe when used as directed. We use products that are effective yet safe for households with pets and children. We also provide detailed instructions on how to ensure safety during and after treatment.
Generally, we recommend staying out of the house for 2 to 4 hours after treatment. This allows the products to settle and ensures the safety of your family and pets. We will provide specific instructions based on the treatment used.
To prevent re-infestation: Regularly treat pets with veterinarian-recommended flea preventatives. Vacuum frequently and wash pet bedding in hot water. Keep your yard well-maintained and use outdoor flea control products. Follow our tailored prevention plan provided after treatment.
It typically takes several weeks to fully eliminate a flea infestation after a flea pest control treatment. This is due to the flea life cycle, which includes eggs and larvae that may hatch after initial treatments. Consistent cleaning and follow-up treatments are key.
Before our technician arrives, we recommend: Vacuuming your home thoroughly. Washing pet bedding and any fabrics that pets frequently contact. Removing pets and family members from the treatment area. Following any specific instructions provided during your booking. For external flea treatment, we recommend mowing your lawn with grass catcher attached & whipper-snipping edges to facilitate chemical contact with ground and soil.
Terry the owner has been involved with pest control his whole life. Great service and happy to come back if any problems. Terry looks after his customers.
Terry was extremely thorough and knowledgeable while also being extremely compassionate towards the critters and creepy crawlys he was here to expunge. While his son Adam was not only easy on the eyes, what he may lack in experience he made up for ten fold in eagerness and professionalism. I highly recommend this friendly yet intrepid Family run business.
Terry was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Not only did he fit my job in same day, he sent me a text to confirm the job was complete (which was very convenient) AND fixed my gate on the way out! I will definitely be using him in the future.
In the 15 years I lived in Cairns, Ulysses is by far the best service I have had. 1. Honest – I had them look at some termite damage in a fence after another pest control had quoted me a crazy amount of money to ‘treat’ the fence, to discover there was absolutely no activity by Ulysses and no need for a treatment. 😀 2. Professional – always on time and great customer service. 3. The treatment works! 10 months later the treatment is still working perfectly. 4. Not a big franchise. Family local business with a real care for what they do, and do it well.
Terry provided a thorough service, great communication, obviously knows his stuff and looks after his customers well. Have had him back twice for different treatments and havnt seen a pest since. Top service.
So pleasant to work with! Terry was so understanding and flexible with getting our new house treated. Thanks guys I will be an ongoing customer 🙂
Sensational work Terry! Thank you so much!
Terry was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. He was professional and thorough and even asked me what else he could do to put my mind at ease. I also learnt a few things about the right bates to get, etc. All at a very reasonable price. Would recommend him to anyone.
Terry arrived on time, quickly identified the ants and roaches that had been plaguing our house and applied an appropriate treatment. We noted excellent results from the pest treatment, within a matter of hours. Great service and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.
Great service, very professional and reliable. We called Ulysses Pest Control to help us clear some frustratingly hard to get rid of German cockroaches – yuck! Nothing seemed to work. I only wish we had called them sooner as it would have saved a lot of time, money and frustration! The results were pretty much immediate and we feel we have our home back. I highly recommend Ulysses!
Terry provides a personable,friendly and professional service. He knows his trade well and is a pleasure to do business with. I personally recommend him and his business.
Always on time. Does a great job, very thorough. If you want to enjoy a bug free house Terry is your guy. Highly recommended.
Amazing customer service. We called on a Saturday afternoon with a bee issue in our yard and he arrived in 10 minutes and sorted out the problem quickly! Highly recommend!!
Terry is great. Knows what he is doing and well priced.
If you want the job done properly, at a fair price, then Terry is your man!
Excellent service, was able to come around that day to inspect and booked in the treatment the following week.

Terry is wonderful, highly recommend this company.
