About Fleas in Leeds
Fleas can be a problem year-round but are typically most active in warmer months. The cat flea is the most common species and will readily bite humans as well as pets. Adult fleas are small (around 2 mm), wingless, brown insects with flattened bodies and powerful legs for jumping.
Flea larvae thrive in animal bedding, carpets, floorboard gaps and skirting areas, feeding on skin flakes and the blood-rich droppings of adult fleas. After feeding, larvae spin a silk cocoon (pupal case). Young fleas can remain dormant inside the cocoon for weeks or months and emerge when they sense vibration, heat, or carbon dioxide from a nearby host. This is why properties can seem “suddenly infested” after being vacant.
Our Flea Control Service

- Targeted crack-and-crevice applications to skirtings, edges and voids
- Follow-up guidance and, if required, scheduled re-treatments
- Advice on pet treatments and environmental hygiene
- Discreet, friendly service for homes, HMOs, lets and commercial sites
Preparation Checklist (Before Treatment)
- Clear floors of clutter and thoroughly vacuum carpets, rugs, and soft furnishings (pay attention to edges and under furniture).
- Empty the vacuum outside and dispose of the bag/contents immediately.
- Wash pet bedding at 60 °C (or tumble-dry hot for 30 minutes). Repeat after treatment if advised.
- Treat all pets on the same day with a vet-approved flea product (spot-on, tablet, or prescribed collar). Over-the-counter sprays/powders are often ineffective.
- Lift items from the floor (toys, boxes, laundry) so we can treat every surface.
Important: Insecticides do not kill fleas inside their pupal cocoons. Regular vacuuming after treatment helps trigger emergence so the residual treatment can work.
