Flea Fumigation Burnley

Flea Fumigation Treatments

Our flea fumigation treatment is so effective that in 90% of cases, we will only need to visit you once.

We use a combination of chemical-based treatments coming in various formulations for different applications:

• Wettable Powders
• Oil In Water Emulsions
• Micro Encapsulated
• Dusts
• Aqueous Suspensions

We also deploy a range of non-toxic flea infestation treatments using Steam Treatments and Dessication Powders.

Potential Flea Infestation - What to look out for

Fleas are tiny reddish, brown insects that love to suck blood! They prefer the blood of animals but are not at all discerning if a human is nearby!

Fleas do not have wings but get around using their well-developed rear legs. These powerful legs allow them to hop from pet to carpet to mattress.

A female flea will lay eggs after every single 'blood meal'. This can mean the addition of up to 300 eggs within a week, so its easy to see how a flea infestation can occur quickly.

There are clear signs to look out for to confirm that your pet has fleas:

• Excessive scratching or biting at the skin
• Dry or raw skin
• Irritated ears
• Small red sores or scabs
• “Flea dirt” (dark specs of dried blood)

You may also notice fleabites on yourself or family members, particularly around the lower legs and ankles.

Flea bites on humans are normally clustered and characterised by an itchy bump with a red spot surrounded by red halos.

How To Get Rid Of a Flea Infestation.

Treating Your Pet

We always advise that you take your pet to your local Veterinary surgery and get a professionally administered pet flea treatment - this is critical to prevent the re-introduction of a flea infestation to the home.

This should be done within two days before or after your home flea fumigation.

Treating Yourself/Family

In most cases, you can treat flea bites on your body with anti-itch creams and anti-histamines.

A medical professional should assess more serious cases involving a potential allergic reaction.

Preparing For Your Flea Fumigation

Our expert flea control team will give you all the information you need to prepare for our visit upon booking, but here are some things for you to consider to make our visit as effective as possible:

Floors and carpets should be vacuumed and cleaned, paying particular attention to spaces underneath furniture, upholstered furniture, high traffic and low-lying areas of your home.

After vacuuming, take the vacuum cleaner outside, remove and dispose of the back/contents - don't do this inside the home.

Please also ensure floors are clear of toys, books, etc., and spaces underneath beds and static furniture should be as clear as possible.

Your pet should be out of the house for the duration of the treatment.

We do also ask that you plan to be away from your home for up to 5 hours whilst we administer the flea control treatments.

FLEA CONTROL FAQS

Do you only cover Burnley for flea control?

As one of our specialist services, we cover outside the Burnley area. We cover all of Lancashire.

I just have one room with fleas; can you just treat that?

Unfortunately, we do not offer flea treatments for single rooms. Due to how fast fleas spread, we must treat the entire property simultaneously.

Will the treatment kill the fleas on my cat?

We recommend taking your affected pets for a veterinarian-administered flea treatment. You should do this within two days before or after home treatment.

The person on the phone said I had to vacuum before you arrived; why?

If there is any significant amount of dust or pet hair on the carpet, it will limit the effectiveness of the treatment. This could even mean having to pay for additional treatment later on.

How fast do the fleas spread?

Fleas lay up to 50 eggs per day. Therefore it is important to catch the infestation early on.

How long do I have to leave home?

Depending on the treatment chosen, you may have to leave your home for up to 5 hours. This is for your safety!

I have a fish tank at home; is that a problem?

Ideally, small fish tanks should be removed from the home during treatment. If, however, you have a large tank, then please callfor advice.

I don’t have pets; why am I finding fleas?

Pet owners are more prone to fleas generally. However, if you have moved into a new property, they could be fleas emerging from their dormant state whilst the property was vacant.
