Flea Infestation Treatment
Fleas are not just an inconvenience. They carry health risks for both people and pets that can persist long after the original infestation has been treated.
Bites and Allergic Reactions
Flea bites cause intense itching and discomfort.
Some people and pets develop allergic dermatitis, resulting in inflamed skin, rashes and secondary infections from scratching affected areas.
Pet Discomfort
Pets may scratch or bite at their fur constantly when fleas are present.
Some pets can also develop allergies to flea saliva, making early treatment important.
Rapid Reproduction
Fleas reproduce quickly, making them difficult to control without professional help.
Their lifecycle can range from two weeks to eight months depending on conditions in the property.
Difficult to Eradicate
Flea cocoons can remain dormant in carpets and flooring for up to two years, then hatch when conditions are suitable.
Without professional treatment and aftercare, infestations can return from carpets, bedding, rugs and furniture.
Professional Flea Removal and Extermination
Effective flea control treats the property environment as well as the affected pet. Our pest controllers apply professional residual insecticides to carpets, rugs, skirting boards, soft furnishings and pet resting areas.
The treatment targets adult fleas, larvae and eggs, with residual action as dormant pupae hatch. We also provide preparation and aftercare advice to reduce re-infestation.
We also advise regular vacuuming, weekly washing of pet bedding above 50 degrees C where possible, and checking pets with a flea comb.
Qualified Pest Controllers
Professional inspection, treatment and prevention on every job.
Flea Treatment Areas We Cover
Professional flea control targets the areas where eggs, larvae and dormant pupae survive inside Hampshire homes and business premises.
Flea Control FAQs
Quick answers to the questions we hear most often about flea infestations and treatment.
Do I need to treat my pet as well as my home?
Yes. To achieve effective flea control, both the property and any affected pets should be treated at the same time. We advise that you contact your vet for pet treatment, while we treat the property environment. Treating only one without the other is unlikely to resolve the infestation.
How long after treatment will fleas still be present?
Some flea activity is normal for two to three weeks after treatment as dormant pupae hatch and come into contact with the treated surfaces. This does not mean the treatment has failed. We advise against vacuuming for at least two weeks after treatment to allow the insecticide to remain active.
Can I get fleas if I do not have pets?
Yes. Fleas can enter a property on clothing, in second-hand furniture or through gaps in flooring from neighbouring properties. They can also lie dormant in carpets and reactivate months after a previous infestation. We regularly treat properties with no pets present.
Are flea treatments safe for children and pets?
All treatments are carried out by qualified professionals using approved products. We will provide clear instructions on how long to keep children and pets out of treated rooms before it is safe to return, typically two to four hours.
How much does flea treatment cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the property, the number of rooms affected and the extent of the infestation. Call 07973 700 006 or send an enquiry for a free quote.
