FLEA CONTROL LETCHWORTH
Why control Fleas?
In the UK there is little evidence that Fleas spread disease. However, Flea bites can cause intense irritation around the central bright red spot. Different people react differently to a bite, both regarding the degree of reaction and time taken to react.
Signs of fleas?
Pets constantly scratching may be the first sign, which can be confirmed either by seeing fleas or flea droppings in the coat of your pet. These signs are easily spotted in light coloured animals by brushing back the hair. In dark coated breeds it may be better to comb the animal over a sheet of paper to highlight any flea droppings as they fall. The identity of the black specks may be confirmed by adding a few drops of water if they turn red, your pet has fleas.
You might spot bites on you or family members, usually around ankles and legs. In humans, flea bites can produce an irritating and allergic reaction. The typical symptom of a flea bite is a small red spot about 5mm in diameter.
If you have an active infestation, you may see Fleas jumping in your carpet and furniture.
How to control fleas?
For a Flea infestation, we strongly recommend you contact a professional pest control company. A trained professional will have the technical knowledge and access to a range of professional use insecticides which are not available to the public.
Before an insecticide treatment, clear as much floor space as possible to ensure that treatment is as thorough as possible. Vacuuming all areas helps to remove any debris, eggs, larvae and adult fleas. The vibration of the vacuum cleaner also stimulates adults to hatch from their cocoon stage. Remember to remove the waste collection compartment/bag, from the vacuum cleaner, and dispose of it in an outside bin as you may have collected eggs, larvae and adult fleas while vacuuming.
The standard treatment for infested premises is the application of a residual insecticide, either as a liquid spray or powder. The insecticide is applied to all floor surfaces. Ensure you do not vacuum or wash for at least two weeks (or longer if possible), or you’ll be in danger of eliminating the residual insecticide which will lead to a failed treatment.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
The price was great, they arrived on the day and time that was agreed. Cleared all of the pigeons nests, and installed high quality mesh all the way around the panels.
They cleared up all of the mess from the nests so we'll, that you wouldn't have known there was there.
Absolutely perfect service, this really is the best company you could possibly use.
I can't recommend them highly enough.
Our roof was not the easiest to negotiate because of the steep pitch and the nature of the roofing but Nick proved up to the task, conjuring up a clever solution. We were also very impressed that he came back a second time to resolve the issue without the need for scaffolding.
His prices are very competitive so we have no hesitation in giving a five star review.
Nick solved our birds nesting under solar panels problem. With over twenty pigeons under our large array the noise and continual mess became a health issue. Using subtle wire mesh, shaped to fit our roof tiles and brackets around the perimeter the bird proofing is hardly noticeable from the ground and inspite of return visits the pigeons have now moved on.
Super job, many thanks.
His knowledge of product and job is excellent. Would heartily recommend and use again.
Nick was very helpful and called within a couple of days to inspect the property. He found certain spots needed bird-proofing and arranged to do the job within a few days. I am completely happy in all the dealings I had with him and found him to be knowledgeable, friendly, reliable and keen to explain everything to me. His service is 10 out of 10 and highly recommended.
He was nothing but professional and friendly when he arrived, and I also absolutely love the fact he is extremely discreet in his presentation - perfect if you don't want the neighbours to know about any pest issues!
Nick did a thorough search of my property including the exterior and took plenty of pictures for evidence and removed the "problem" and advised of next steps to take and follow up of a full report. I would deffinately reccomend to anyone needing pest control. You just cant beat the quality of a good independent business. Thanks again Nick!
Without Nick i'd of had real problems up there with those babies. No way could I have done what he did. He always turned up on time, knew his stuff and kept me informed throughout. He is meticulous to detail and left no stone unturned until he got to the bottom of it. A professional workman with a pleasant manner. Very Reasonable costs. I'd recommend him to anyone.
