Close to Ferrybridge and the Aire and Calder Navigation, Knottingley's terraces and newer homes suit fleas and the pets that carry them.
In a glass-making town with a canal running through it, terraced housing sits alongside later developments, and the common thread is pet ownership. Fleas arrive on cats and dogs, then settle into carpets near where those animals rest. In terraces, a front room and a back kitchen may be the only two main spaces downstairs, and the flea problem can spread quickly across both.
We keep the process practical. We inspect, treat floors and soft furnishings, and explain how to vacuum and wash afterwards. If the job is likely to need a return visit, we say so up front. Fully insured and trained technicians carry out the work, and we give a free quote based on the property, the extent of the problem and the number of visits.
Foggers often fail to reach fleas under furniture and in carpet edges, and can leave residue on surfaces. Targeted treatment of floors and soft furnishings is generally more effective. We can talk through options. We can talk through what suits your property.
Use the hottest wash the fabric allows and a hot tumble dry if possible. Heat kills all flea stages. Wash pet bedding as often as you can during an active problem. Repeat the wash weekly until the problem has cleared.

Thank you Sean and Zack for your speedy and efficient response to our wasp problem. We originally thought we had 2 wasps nests but on the end had 4. After our initial call they came out the next day and even came out a few days later when another next was discovered. Thank you, we will definitely recommend you.Mrs Carter8 August 2018
