Ossett's stone terraces and newer homes alike can hide a flea population for weeks before anyone connects the ankle bites with the dog bed.
In a market town with a textile history, stone terraces are often the first homes people picture, but later housing makes up a large part of Ossett too. In both, the early signs of fleas are modest: a few bites, a speck on a pale sock, a cat scratching more than usual. People often wait a fortnight before acting, by which time the carpet is holding several generations.
We would rather be called early. A small problem can often be dealt with in one visit, whereas a long-running one may need a return. Either way, we start with the rooms the pet uses, move through the house and explain what comes next. No call-out charges apply, and the quote depends on the size of the home and the severity.
Tell your landlord or agent, as responsibilities depend on the agreement. We can inspect and quote for either party. Meanwhile vacuum often and wash bedding hot, which helps whoever ends up arranging treatment. That is a sensible compromise, and landlords usually respond to a clear report.
We give specific advice on the day. Generally people and pets keep out of treated rooms until surfaces have dried. Check with us if anyone in the household is unwell or has particular concerns. Ask us if unsure.
