How do I get rid of or control fleas?

We treat fleas in domestic and business premises.

If you would like the service or further information please contact us on 01273 484354.

There is a charge of £50 for a normal sized house or flat (additional charges will be made for larger premises).  The charge for commercial premises is £75 (additional charges may be made dependent on size of premises)

Certain preparatory work will need to be undertaken before treatment and a leaflet will be sent to you detailing this and notifying you of the pesticide to be used. Once the preparatory work has been carried out you will need to contact the Pest Control Officers between 9 - 10am, Monday to Friday, on 01273 484354. We will then make an appointment, but an exact time of arrival is difficult to guarantee because we do not always know how long or difficult our visits will be. So, we may ask you to remain at home either during the morning or the afternoon on that day.

Fleas can be difficult to treat and occasionally the first treatment is not totally effective and the premises will require further treatment, however there will be no additional charge for this.

We may send you a bill once the infestation has been successfully treated.

A 50% discount can be offered if you receive one of the following:

You will be asked to provide proof of benefit receipt by the visiting Pest Control Officer.
