Dewsbury's Victorian terraces were built tight and tall, and a flea population in the bedroom carpet will find its way to the front room soon enough.
A market town on the Calder with a textile-mill heritage, Dewsbury has plenty of Victorian terraces that now hold family homes, shared houses and flats. Shared houses bring particular challenges for fleas: several occupants, possible multiple pets, and nobody quite responsible for the stair carpet. Fleas thrive in such an environment, and bites are often blamed on the wrong cause.
Our approach is to inspect, identify and treat. Where there are several households in one building, we suggest coordinating so that everyone treats at roughly the same time, otherwise fleas can simply move from flat to flat. Fully insured and trained technicians do the work, and quotes depend on the number of rooms, the severity and the number of visits.
Where fleas are present in several flats or houses that share spaces, coordinated treatment helps, otherwise they may move between them. In a single-family house, you only need to treat your own home. We can advise on how to approach a neighbour or managing agent.
Vacuum all floors and furniture, wash bedding and soft covers on a hot cycle, and keep floors clear for access. Do not apply extra products beforehand. Pets should be kept out of rooms to be treated.

Fleas are tiny, fast and hard to catch, so you often notice the effects first. Bites around the ankles and a pet that will not stop scratching are the usual starting points.
