As a gateway to the Dales, Skipton sees walkers and their dogs all year, and holiday accommodation changes hands often. We cover both.
Skipton's castle, canal basin and market draw visitors, and many come with dogs bound for the Dales. Holiday cottages and guest rooms in older stone buildings receive a stream of pets, and fleas ride along. Cleaning between stays removes the visible mess but not the eggs that have dropped into carpets and under furniture. Pupae then hatch for the next guest.
Residents have their own routes: dog walking, cats roaming, and visitors staying over. In older stone houses, rugs and floor gaps are frequent hiding places. In later housing it is the fitted carpet. Fully insured and trained technicians treat both, and commercial service contracts are available for accommodation providers. The quote depends on the size of the property and the number of visits.
Vacuum thoroughly between stays, especially along edges and under furniture, wash soft furnishings, and act at the first complaint of bites. A regular inspection can catch problems early. Keep a simple log of stays and complaints.
Usually only the treated rooms need to be unoccupied for a short period, which we confirm when booking. Telling us your booking dates in advance helps us plan. Call 0113 347 0014 to discuss what is practical.

Fleas are tiny, fast and hard to catch, so you often notice the effects first. Bites around the ankles and a pet that will not stop scratching are the usual starting points.
