Houses by the river and canal in Mirfield see plenty of dog walkers, and a morning on the towpath can end with a hallway full of unwelcome passengers.
Between the river, the canal and the older stone streets, Mirfield suits people with dogs, and dogs meet other animals. A flea that hops from a passing animal into a thick coat can be on your hall carpet within the hour. After that, the cycle takes a few weeks to show itself as obvious bites, which is why the problem often seems sudden.
Victorian terraces and older stone houses tend to have more floor gaps and underlay, while later estates have simple carpeted floors. We deal with each according to its construction. A free quote is available on request, and no call-out charges apply. The price depends on the size of the property, the extent of the fleas and how many visits are needed.
Pupae can remain in their cocoons for weeks, and sometimes longer, waiting for the vibration and warmth of a host. That is why an apparently empty room can erupt with fleas when someone enters. Plan on vacuuming daily for at least two weeks.
Ideally both. The vet advises on the right product for your pet, and we treat the property. Dealing with only one leaves the other as a source for re-infestation. Both parts matter, and neither works well alone.
