Flat, low-lying country around Selby means long walks with the dog on level ground, and fleas ride home on the same coat as the mud.
A market town by the Ouse, Selby has older property near the abbey and later estates beyond. Dogs get plenty of exercise along flat paths and fields, and cats roam freely over level gardens, picking up fleas from other animals. By the time they reach the sofa, the cycle is already beginning. Carpets then hold the eggs and larvae until bites reveal the problem.
Treatment depends on how the house is built and used. Older town-centre homes may have uneven floors and rugs; later estates have fitted carpet. We deal with both thoroughly and talk through what comes next. Fully insured and trained technicians carry out the work. The quote reflects the size of the property, the extent of the fleas and the visits required.
A recent problem may clear within a couple of weeks of treatment and good vacuuming. Established ones can take longer because pupae keep hatching. We give a realistic expectation after seeing the property. Thorough vacuuming in between makes a real difference.
Speak to us first and to your doctor if you are concerned. We will explain the product used and the time rooms should be left empty. Ventilation and drying time matter, and we can plan around your needs.
