Flea Control
Fleas are a common household pest especially when you or neighbouring properties have pets, Flea bites to some people and pets can just be an irritation but for others the bites can cause an allergic reaction and result in rashes. Fleas may also be carried on other, especially hairy, animals like rabbits, foxes, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs. Fleas are approximately 2-10mm in length depending on the species. Their bodies are flat and without wings. They can jump great distances.
Flea Treatment
Before you do anything else, vacuum carpets, furnishings, cracks in the floorboards and upholstered furniture. This will not only get rid of adult fleas, but also their eggs and larvae. The larvae feed on adult flea faeces and other organic matter, which collects in things like carpets and rugs. Removing this source of food is an important step.
- Consult a vet and treat your pets as soon as you can, preferably on the same day as our treatment.
