A cathedral city with a coalfield past, Wakefield has a wide mix of property, and fleas manage to find a foothold in nearly all of it.
Wakefield's housing runs from Victorian terraces near the centre to extensive later estates, with former industrial buildings now serving as flats and workspaces. Fleas do not care which, but how they spread does depend on the layout. In terraces they move vertically up stairs. On estates they tend to move horizontally between connected rooms with fitted carpet.
Our visit begins with questions about animals, recent changes and where bites have appeared. We then treat in a logical sequence and explain what to do afterwards, including vacuuming and washing. Fully insured and trained technicians carry out the treatment, and a free quote is provided. The price depends on the property size, how extensive the fleas are and how many visits are required.
If your pet travels in it, yes, it is worth vacuuming seats, boot and pet bedding thoroughly. We treat properties rather than vehicles, but cleaning the car stops it acting as a way of reintroducing fleas. Wash the pet's travel blanket as well.
No. Fleas arrive on animals and clothing and can infest very clean homes. The problem is about where eggs happen to land, not about hygiene. Prompt action matters far more than blame. Prompt treatment and regular vacuuming are what count.

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.
