Spring has arrived, and with it brings the warmer weather. Unfortunately, this warmer weather also means that flea season is officially upon us!

If you find a flea on your cat or dog, there could be an infestation on your pets and around your home. Adult fleas are only a small percentage (around 10%) of the total population of a given infestation, so although you may think that treating your animals will get rid of the fleas the flea eggs and larvae will continue to be living in your home.

Below are some tips on how to combat those pesky fleas:

Treat Animals – if you think you’ve got a flea problem then start by treating any animals in the property, consult a veterinarian who will help you to choose the most suitable treatments.

Hoover Daily –  hoover daily to ensure that any eggs and larvae are removed before they develop into adult fleas. Ensure that after hoover is emptied thoroughly to prevent the eggs from hatching and infesting the hoover.

Wash Bedding – wash any bedding, clothing, blankets, towels and soft furnishings weekly on a hot wash. If your furniture has removable covers then make sure you wash those as well.

Book a Flea Spray – Hillbans Pest Control Ltd are able to offer flea sprays for domestic and commercial properties. We use professional flea fumigations for flea control; which allows us to treat a property far more thoroughly and effectively than store bought DIY products.
