Morley's old woollen-mill terraces and newer estates have different floors but the same flea routine: eggs in the carpet, bites on the legs.
A former woollen mill town like Morley has rows of Victorian stone terraces where the original floors have been covered by decades of carpet and underlay. That layering is ideal for fleas, because the eggs and larvae are well out of sight. Newer estates have simpler floors, but a cat that sleeps on the bed still moves fleas through the whole house in a few weeks.
We begin by finding where the animal spends its time and where people are being bitten, because the two rarely match. Treatment then goes through floors, soft furnishings and the points where floors meet walls. We will tell you honestly if you should expect a second visit. Pricing depends on the home's size, how widespread the fleas are and how many visits are needed.
They can. Cats that roam outdoors pick up fleas from other animals or from shaded, sheltered spots, then bring them in. Treating the garden is rarely practical, so the focus is on the animal and on the inside of the house.
Normally once the treated surfaces have dried, though we give specific instructions on the day. Keeping pets and children out during treatment and until it is dry is standard practice, and we explain the details before we start.
