Professional Flea Control in Abbey Wood

Dormant Pupae and a New Tenancy

Flea pupae sit protected inside a cocoon and emerge in response to warmth and the vibration of somebody walking past. An empty property provides neither, so they wait - sometimes for a long time. Somebody moving in supplies exactly the trigger, which is why bites can start within days of a move into a flat whose previous occupants had an animal.

The wildlife route is the other one. Access by an animal to an undercroft, a garage, a shed or the space beneath a raised structure will seed a property without a household pet being involved at all, and there is plenty of that kind of space here.

Signs You May Need Flea Control in Abbey Wood

The full list is on the Flea Control Greenwich page.

• Bites around the ankles and lower legs. Small, intensely itchy, often several close together, and concentrated below the knee because that is where fleas can reach from the floor.
• Small dark insects that jump. On the pet, on light-coloured flooring, or on socks and trouser legs.
• Bites in a property with no pet at all. Common after moving into a home where the previous occupants had animals.
