Daybrook has a blend of Victorian and inter-war housing. Fleas get into both, and we treat each with its layout and flooring in mind.
Not every flea problem begins with a pet. In Daybrook, a number of calls come from people who bought a second-hand rug, took on a house that had been empty, or had relatives stay with a dog. In Victorian houses the old floors are usually the hiding place, whereas in inter-war semis the fitted carpet on the stairs often carries fleas upstairs without anyone noticing.
We ask how the problem began, then treat the rooms where the bites and the fleas have been seen. Upholstered furniture and bedding come next, followed by advice on what to wash. We are fully insured, which many householders ask about when someone is coming in to work. If you have pets, your vet should treat them at the same time.
Pupae can lie dormant in carpets for long periods, then hatch when new occupants bring warmth and movement. It is common after a home has been empty, and it is not your fault. Tell us when the house was last occupied.
Usually not. Treatment, hot washing of fabrics and thorough vacuuming settle most cases. If a carpet is very worn or contaminated, we will say so honestly, though that is the exception. Ask us if you are unsure about a particular rug.
Yes. Pets should be treated as well, and your vet can advise on suitable flea treatment alongside the home treatment.
