Holiday lets and caravans change hands every week, and with each new guest and their pet comes a fresh chance for fleas to take hold.
A seaside town with a long beach, Filey sees dogs of all sizes in lets and caravans through the season. Carpets and soft furnishings in these small units get heavy use and quick turnover, and flea eggs that fall between guests can sit for weeks until the next arrival warms the floor. Owners often find out when a guest complains, which is not how anyone wants to learn.
Older seafront property and later housing have year-round residents with their own pets, and the treatment is similar in principle. For lets and caravans, we plan the visit around changeover days where possible. Commercial service contracts are available for owners and managers. A free survey can be arranged for homes and businesses, with pricing based on size and visits.
Usually through guests' dogs or cats, or from wildlife or stray animals sheltering underneath or nearby. Small spaces mean fleas reach the whole interior quickly. Treating the carpets and soft furnishings, and cleaning between stays, helps.
We try to. Tell us your arrival and departure schedule when you call, and we will see what fits the diary. Quiet periods between bookings are the easiest time for treatment, and changeover days are possible in some cases. We will tell you honestly what the timing allows.
