Discovering there are fleas in your home is distressing and, due to their lifecycle, can be an uphill battle to control. We get three types of flea in the UK. The most common is the cat flea. Less often, we get dog fleas. While rare, we do occasionally get human flea infestations. Although fleas do not pose a direct health risk, flea bites can cause intense irritation and itching to pets and humans alike.
Fleas can live on any warm-blooded animal but are often found to be living on humans, domestic animals and rodents. When not feeding on a host, fleas are mainly active in communal rooms, places where pets sleep and wherever there is most activity. Fleas and their eggs can be commonly found in soft furnishings which provide plenty of insulation, such as carpets, pet bedding, clothes and upholstered furniture. If you have an active infestation, you may see fleas jumping in your carpet and furniture.
For any flea infestation, we would always recommend contacting a professional pest management company.
We are trained and experienced in flea control and will have access to a range of professional use insecticides and tools, which are not available to the public. Knowing how much, where, and when to deploy products is where professionals are able to take control of situations efficiently.
