Fleas in Wetherby tend to surface when a property changes hands or a tenant moves out, because empty rooms let the pupae sit quietly until someone walks in.
Estate agents and landlords in a market town like Wetherby sometimes meet fleas at handover. A previous tenant's cat, an empty month, and a new occupant arriving in warm weather is a classic sequence. The first sign may be bites on a first night in a house that looks spotless. Cleanliness is not the question here; the pupae were simply waiting in the carpet.
Older property near the town centre often has rugs, wooden floors with gaps and cupboards under stairs, while later housing has wall-to-wall carpet. We inspect both types in much the same way, then treat floors, edges and soft furnishings. Fully insured and trained technicians do the work, and a free quote is available for landlords and householders alike, depending on the number of rooms.
It may well be. Fleas hatching from pupae left behind after the last occupier is a common explanation. Look for small dark insects jumping at ankle height, and check pale socks. We can inspect the rooms and confirm what is causing the bites.
That depends on the tenancy agreement and the circumstances, such as who owns the pet. Check your agreement or seek advice if you are unsure. We can provide treatment for either party, and we are happy to talk through what is needed.
