Spotting the Signs of a Flea Infestation
Worried you might have fleas? It’s important to identify an infestation early. Here are the common signs:
- Itchy Bites: Often found around ankles, legs, or other exposed skin. These bites are small, red, and intensely itchy, sometimes appearing in clusters or lines.
- Pets Scratching Excessively: If your cat or dog is constantly scratching, licking, or biting their fur, it’s a strong indicator.
- Flea Dirt: Look for tiny black specks, resembling ground black pepper, on your pet's fur, bedding, carpets, or furniture. This "flea dirt" is actually flea faeces, which turns reddish-brown if you dab it with a damp tissue.
- Seeing Live Fleas: While small (around 2-3mm), adult fleas are visible to the naked eye, particularly on light-coloured carpets, bedding, or your pet's belly. They move quickly and jump.
- Flea Eggs: Tiny, white, and often hard to see, eggs may be present in carpets, bedding, and cracks in flooring.
If you spot any of these signs in your Brixham home, don’t hesitate to contact us for professional advice and an inspection.

Who We Are
Why Professional Flea Treatment is Your Best Bet
Many people try to tackle fleas with DIY products, but these often fail to address the entire life cycle of the flea, leading to recurring problems. Fleas are incredibly resilient, and their eggs and larvae can hide deep within carpets, upholstery, and cracks.
- Targeted Treatment: Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians use professional-grade insecticides that are far more effective and targeted than anything you can buy over the counter. These products get to the root of the infestation.
- Life Cycle Control: We understand the flea life cycle (egg, larva, pupa, adult). Our comprehensive approach isn't just about killing adults; it's designed to break the cycle and prevent future generations.
- Safety & Expertise: As BPCA affiliated members, we adhere to the highest industry standards, ensuring safe application of treatments for your family and pets while effectively eradicating the pests. We also provide clear guidance on pre-treatment and post-treatment care.

01822 668338Preparing for a Successful Flea Treatment
To help us achieve the best possible outcome for your flea treatment, a little preparation goes a long way. Before our visit, we recommend:
- Thorough Cleaning: Vacuum all carpets and upholstered furniture meticulously, paying extra attention to cracks, crevices, and along skirting boards. Dispose of the vacuum bag immediately outside your home.
- Laundry: Wash all pet bedding, rugs, blankets, and any affected bedding on a hot wash (at least 60°C).
- Clear Floors: Remove all items from floors, particularly from under beds and furniture, to allow full access for treatment.
- Pet Treatment: Ensure all pets are treated for fleas by a vet or with a suitable veterinary product before our technicians arrive. This is crucial to prevent re-infestation.
We'll always provide specific instructions tailored to your situation when you book your service.
