Most Bilborough homes are semis with gardens and fitted carpets, an ideal setting for fleas. We treat the home and explain how to keep them from returning.
In a post-war semi, a single carpet may run from the front door through the lounge and up the stairs, so a few fleas in the hall can quickly become a problem upstairs. Dogs that sleep on the landing or children's beds shared with a cat make it worse. People often notice the bites before they spot the insects, and mistake them for gnat bites.
We start where the pet spends most of its time, and treat carpets, sofas and bedding in the connected rooms. The garden may play a part if the animal roams, though treatment is focused on the house. A free pest prevention survey comes with the treatment, covering how fleas got in and what to change. Free advice also includes talking to your vet about the pet itself.
Fleas jump from the carpet, and they reach the lowest part of you first. That is why bites cluster around ankles and calves. Bites higher up often mean the fleas have reached beds or sofas.
Usually not. Thorough treatment of the carpet, plus hot washing of bedding and regular vacuuming, deals with most cases. We will tell you honestly if anything looks beyond saving, which is rare. Replacement is a last resort.
Yes. Pets should be treated as well, and your vet can advise on suitable flea treatment alongside the home treatment.
