Flea Treatment
Fleas spread rapidly through carpets, soft furnishings, and bedding. and DIY treatments rarely solve the problem fully. We use professional-grade residual insecticides to eliminate infestations at all life stages, including eggs and larvae that household sprays can't reach.
What's Involved
Assessment
We identify the species and the extent of the infestation. checking carpets, skirting boards, pet bedding, and soft furnishings.
Preparation advice
You'll be advised to vacuum thoroughly before treatment and wash all pet bedding at 60°C. This improves treatment effectiveness significantly.
Treatment
We apply a professional residual insecticide spray to all affected areas. carpets, flooring, skirting boards, and soft furnishings. targeting adults, larvae, and eggs.
Follow-up
A second visit is often recommended 2–3 weeks later to catch any newly hatched fleas before they can reproduce.
Signs of a Flea Infestation
- ✓Unexplained bites on ankles and lower legs
- ✓Pets scratching excessively
- ✓Small dark specks (flea dirt) in pet bedding or on carpets
- ✓Seeing small, fast-moving insects in carpet fibres
- ✓Bites that appear in clusters or lines
- ✓Itching that gets worse at night
Why DIY Treatments Fail
- ✓Supermarket sprays only kill adult fleas. not eggs or larvae
- ✓Flea eggs can lay dormant for months then hatch all at once
- ✓Treating only the pet misses fleas living in carpets and furniture
- ✓Professional insecticides contain insect growth regulators that break the breeding cycle
- ✓Without the right products, infestations return within weeks
