Flea treatment across the Midlands
Residual treatment to floors, skirtings and harbourage, aimed at the animal source as much as the insect.
What a flea problem actually looks like
If any of this sounds familiar, it is worth a call. Advice over the phone is free, and we will tell you honestly if you do not need us.
What to look for
- Bites around the ankles and lower legs, often noticed after entering a room
- A pet scratching persistently, with visible flea dirt in its coat
- Small, fast-jumping insects visible in carpet or soft furnishings
- Sudden activity after a property has stood empty for a period
- Bites appearing shortly after moving into a previously pet-owning home
Why it happens
Fleas appearing in an empty house usually means a previous occupant had a pet — eggs can lie dormant in carpet for months and hatch when someone starts walking about again. We treat the insect and tell you what to check about the source, because treating one without the other rarely holds.
How we handle fleas
Every job is priced before it starts, and the price we agree is the price you pay.
Tell us about pets, past and present
Fleas almost always trace back to an animal, current or previous — even in a property with no pet living there now.
Confirming the source
We check carpets, soft furnishings and any area a pet has used, since that's where eggs and larvae actually are, not just where bites have happened.
Residual treatment, room by room
Floors, skirtings and harbourage treated thoroughly, timed around the flea life cycle rather than a single spray.
Re-entry times and what to expect
We'll tell you how long to stay out of treated rooms, and what vacuuming regime helps the treatment work rather than undoing it.
Treat the source, not just the insect
Fleas appearing in a home with no pet very often means a previous occupant had one — eggs can lie dormant in carpet for months and hatch when someone starts walking about again. We treat the insect at floor level and skirtings, but the lasting fix usually involves dealing with the animal source as well.
