Big Victorian villas have many rooms and many rugs, so a flea problem in Ilkley can be well established before the first bite is noticed.
A large stone villa below the moor may have a dozen rooms, several staircases and plenty of rugs and sofas. A cat or dog moving through them spreads fleas across the whole building in a short time, and eggs lie hidden in rarely used rooms. The house can look immaculate and still hold a sizeable population in a back bedroom carpet or a library rug.
Because of the size, we plan the visit as a sweep through the building rather than a quick spray in the affected room. Terraces are treated more quickly but with the same attention to stairs and floor edges. Quotes reflect the number of rooms, the extent of the activity and how many visits are needed. Same-day appointments are sometimes available, subject to diary space.
Yes. Eggs and larvae settle in gaps between floorboards and in the dust beneath and around rugs. Thorough vacuuming along edges and under rugs removes many, and treatment deals with those that remain. It is usually the sweeping and treating of edges that makes the difference.
It depends on the size of the property and how widespread the fleas are. Many homes need one treatment and a check, while larger or heavily affected houses may need a return visit. We talk you through the likely plan after the inspection.
