๐ŸฆŸ Fleas Control

Effective Flea Removal for Homes and Businesses in Manchester & North UK

Fleas are a persistent and uncomfortable nuisance, especially in homes with pets. Even if you donโ€™t currently own pets, previous owners or visiting animals may have left behind the early stages of an infestation. At PEST NIL, we provide expert flea control and extermination services across Manchester and Northern UK, using professional techniques and certified treatments to eliminate fleas at every life stageโ€”from egg to adult.

Our BPCA-certified technicians understand how quickly fleas multiply. A single flea can create a full infestation in under 6 weeks, feeding on pets for up to an hour at a time. Thatโ€™s why we focus on full-property treatment, addressing fleas in carpets, furniture, bedding, and other hidden areas where larvae can remain dormant for months.

โœ… Why Flea Treatment Needs a Professional

Fleas are difficult to eliminate without a professional plan because they follow a full life cycle: eggs, larvae, pupae, and adult. Simply killing visible adult fleas wonโ€™t end the infestation. Our technicians use powerful, professional-grade insecticides and precise strategies to target every stage of their development, ensuring full eradication.

Fleas are not a sign of an unclean homeโ€”theyโ€™re parasites that can thrive anywhere with the right environment. Whether you live in a city flat or a countryside home, flea infestations can happen to anyone.

๐Ÿ” How to Identify a Flea Infestation

  • Pets constantly scratching or biting themselves, especially around the hindquarters or neck
  • Visible flea dirt (black specs that resemble ground pepper) on your pet or bedding
  • Small, reddish-brown jumping insects (approx. 2mm long) seen on furniture, carpets, or pets
  • Bite marks on arms, legs, or ankles, often in clusters
  • Discomfort or itchiness in areas where pets rest

Fleas can live for extended periods without a host, laying eggs in soft furnishings and cracks. Even if the host is removed, the infestation can remain hidden.

๐Ÿ’‰ The Health Risks of Fleas

Fleas are more than an itchy annoyanceโ€”they can transmit dangerous diseases to both humans and pets:

  • Haemobartonellosis: Causes anaemia and weight loss in cats
  • Plague: Can spread from infected animals to pets and even humans
  • Tapeworms: Transmitted when pets ingest infected fleas
  • Cat Scratch Disease (CSD): Passed from cat to human via flea faeces during scratching or biting

Prompt treatment can prevent these health complications and reduce stress for both you and your pets.

๐Ÿงน Pre-Treatment: How to Prepare

To ensure treatment success, follow these steps before we arrive:

  1. Strip all bedding and wash at high temperatures (90ยฐC if possible)
  2. Tumble dry or hot wash soft furnishings and stored clothing
  3. Vacuum all floors, edges, and under furniture thoroughly
  4. Treat all pets with flea control advised by your vet before and after our visit
  5. Dispose of vacuum bag contents immediately outside the home

These steps help weaken the flea population and support the effectiveness of our professional treatments.
