A small town on the Wharfe, Tadcaster has older stone houses and newer streets, and few pest controllers within easy reach when the bites start.
Brewing gave Tadcaster its fame, but for householders the concern is more modest: a cat that sleeps on the bed and a carpet that has not been lifted in years. Older stone houses have thick walls and good heat retention. Newer streets have deep fitted carpets. Both are comfortable for fleas, which can complete their life cycle indoors regardless of the weather outside.
Riverside walks mean dogs meet others, and a coat shaken in the porch drops eggs straight onto the mat. We trace the route from the door to the places the pet rests and treat along it, with extra attention to bedrooms. No call-out charges apply, and a free quote is given. The price depends on the property, how extensive the fleas are and the number of visits.
Not necessarily, but fleas often reach more rooms than people expect. We inspect and treat where there is activity or a likely route, concentrating on animal resting places, hallways, stairs and bedrooms. We explain our reasoning at the visit.
Treatments vary, but most have little lingering odour once dry and the room is aired. If you are sensitive to smells, tell us beforehand and we will discuss the product and arrangements. Open windows and allow rooms to dry fully.

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.
