A village on the canal in Airedale, Silsden has both old stone cottages and modern estates, and fleas turn up in each for different reasons.
Older stone cottages in Silsden often have uneven floors, thick walls and small rooms where a pet bed sits close to everything else. That means eggs end up in the same few square metres as the family. Newer estate houses tend to have fitted carpet throughout, with a flea population free to spread from one room to the next once a cat or dog has brought them in.
Walks along the canal bring dogs into contact with other animals, and a cat flap can do the same for cats. We treat the house thoroughly and then advise on the animal, since that is where re-infestation usually begins. The job is priced on the size of the property and the number of visits needed, and a free quote is available. Fully insured and trained technicians visit at a time agreed with you.
You can try, and hot-washing and vacuuming help a lot. Shop-bought sprays often miss larvae in thick carpet and floor gaps. If bites continue after two weeks of diligent effort, a professional treatment is worth considering. Thick pile in particular tends to shelter larvae from sprays.
While you are dealing with fleas, yes. The bed is a favourite spot for eggs to drop. Keep pets to washable bedding and wash it often, so you can see and remove what accumulates. Washable bedding makes problems far easier to spot.
