Signs Of Fleas
What are the main signs of fleas? Have a look below and work out whether you need professional flea removal.
Bites – You may notice small bites around your ankles. These may feel itchy.
Pet Itching – If your cat or dog is continually itching, it may be a sign of a flea issue.

Problems Associated With Fleas
Fleas are more than just a nuisance; they can cause significant problems. Their bites lead to itching and discomfort, which can result in infections if scratched excessively. Fleas can also transmit diseases like the bubonic plague and typhus, though rare today. In pets, they can cause allergic reactions, hair loss, anaemia, and other issues. The rapid breeding cycle of fleas makes them difficult to control, and without professional help, an infestation can quickly escalate.

How Do I Get Rid of Fleas?
If you suspect fleas, there are a couple of housekeeping remedies which may help prior to getting flea pest control. Firstly, we recommend the entire house is vacuumed, and the bag emptied into an outside bin. Secondly, you should wash all pet bedding on a 60 degree wash.
As well as the housekeeping, we would recommend having professional flea treatment or flea removal.
Our standard flea removal treatment involves a spray of the entire area. This utilises professional use only insecticides. Additionally, we may carry out a fogging/fumigation as well as the spray treatment. All of our products are completely safe once dry. You will only need to be away from the affected areas at the time of treatment, and for 4 hours afterwards. The cost of the treatment varies depending on the size of the area needing treating, as well as access.

Types Of Flea Pest Control
Effectively ensuring fleas removal requires targeted approaches that tackle the infestation at its source. Various flea pest control methods can be used depending on the severity of the problem and the environment. Here are three common types of flea pest control that we utilise:
Flea Flogging
Flea flogging is a manual method of flea pest control, often used in smaller or less severe infestations. It involves using a specially designed tool, such as a flea trap or a fumigation bag, to disturb and remove fleas from furniture, carpets, and pet bedding. This technique is effective in areas that are harder to reach and where chemical treatments may not be suitable.
Flea Spraying
Flea spraying involves applying a targeted insecticide to areas where fleas are most active. This method is typically used in homes with moderate infestations, treating carpets, floors, and pet areas. Flea exterminator sprays contain adulticides to kill adults, along with insect growth regulators to prevent larvae from maturing. It’s a fast and effective way to reduce flea populations.
Flea Fumigation
Flea fumigation is a more intensive flea pest control method used for severe infestations. It involves releasing a fumigant into the affected areas, which penetrates deep into carpets, furniture, and cracks where fleas might be hiding. Fumigation is a highly effective and specialised solution for fleas removal at all life stages. This includes eggs, larvae, and adults.
