Vacating a rental with pets in Victoria requires certified end-of-lease flea treatment. Here is your step-by-step checklist to ensure your bond is returned.

1. Complete Steam Cleaning First

Always schedule professional carpet steam cleaning before the pest spray so the residual micro-barrier remains undisturbed on carpet fibres.

2. Target Baseboards, Skirtings & Outdoor Kennels

Flea eggs and larvae hide deep in carpet pile and skirting crevices. Our APVMA-approved spray eliminates all life cycle stages.

3. Digital Compliance Receipt Issued Same-Day

ExPest provides real estate compliant documentation immediately after treatment, satisfying all property manager exit requirements.
