Fleas Control

Fleas breed fast in carpets, bedding and outdoor areas pets frequent — a proper treatment covers the whole environment, not just the pet.

Signs to look for

Is it fleas?

  • Pets scratching more than usual, or small bite marks on your own ankles
  • Tiny dark specks (flea dirt) in bedding or carpet
  • Fleas visible on pet bedding, carpets or in shaded outdoor areas
  • Activity increasing after moving into a previously tenanted property

Why it happens

What attracts fleas

Adult fleas are only a small part of the population at any given time — most of a flea infestation is actually eggs, larvae and pupae hidden deep in carpet fibres, pet bedding and shaded soil outdoors. That's why treating the pet alone often isn't enough: the environment itself needs treating to break the cycle before it produces the next generation of adults.

How we treat it

We treat carpets, soft furnishings, pet resting areas and relevant outdoor zones with a product that breaks the flea life cycle, not just kills adults on contact. Pairing this with your vet's pet treatment gives the best long-term result.

Common questions

Fleas FAQ

My pet's already on flea treatment — why do I still have fleas?

Pet flea treatments control fleas on the animal, but eggs and larvae already in carpets, bedding and the yard can keep hatching for weeks afterwards. Treating the environment alongside the pet treatment closes that gap.

We just moved in and there are fleas already — is that normal?

Yes, it's common in a previously tenanted property, especially if the last occupants had pets. Fleas can lie dormant as pupae for months and hatch in response to vibration and body heat once someone moves back in.

Part of a general pest treatment

Fleas is one of the pests covered under a standard Doctor Pesty general pest treatment — internal and external, with follow-up where the job calls for it.
