Get Rid of Fleas!
Professional Flea control in Poole, Bournemouth and the surrounding areas.
What We Do
Before Treatment
Please ensure that any pets have been treated with a ‘Spot On’ insecticide that was provided by a vet (not an off the shelf product). We ask that you remove as much clutter from the floors as possible. It is also beneficial to thoroughly vacuum the property before a treatment - this will remove eggs (please dispose of vacuum bags afterwards) and the vibrations will help flush out the fleas that are hiding in the cracks and crevices.
The Treatment
We will treat all carpets, floors, skirtings and soft furnishings with a residual insecticide. Unlike DIY aerosol sprays or ‘flea bombs’, a residual insecticide will continue to kill fleas even after the treated surfaces are dry. This is applied as a coarse spray using a pump sprayer.
We do not spray clothing or bedding. We ask that customers vacate the premises during treatment and not return until the treated surfaces are dry. Once dry, it is 100% safe for the occupants to return, including children and animals.
After Treatment
After treatment we will provide you with a written treatment report and an information sheet giving advice on how to maximise the effectiveness of the treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
The insecticide we use is a 'residual insectide'. This means that after the spray has dried, a residue is left behind which will continue to kill fleas for days after the treatment. This residue is completely safe for humans and animals. DIY flea sprays are not residual - this means that to kill every flea in your house you would need to hit each flea with the spray directly.
No. Once lit, the smoke immediately rises and deposits the insecticide all over the ceilings and walls without touching the areas where the fleas are - the floor.
Though they may claim to be, 'spot-on' treatments are not 100% effective. Fleas don't actually live on the animal, they live in the animals bedding and surrounding areas (which can spread to other parts of the house). While a 'spot-on' product may kill most of the fleas on the animal, it won't kill any of the fleas in the house. Once the treatment has worn off (usually a lot less than the 30 days that most of these products claim) the fleas in the house can move back on to the animal.
To be most effective, we recommend using a 'Spot on' product that was provided by a vet at the same time as one of our treatments.
We only spray carpets, floors (including lino and wood/laminate), rugs and soft furnishings (including chair covers and sofas). We cannot spray people, pets, bedding or clothes. We also do not generally spray leather furniture.
We will give you an information sheet after the treatment listing all the dos and don'ts. The most important of which is to avoid vacuuming or washing treated surfaces for a while after the treatment. As mentioned above, the residue left behind after the treatment carries on killing the fleas after the spray has dried. Vacuuming or washing a floor would remove this residue.
Its normal to still see fleas for a few days after a treatment. This is due to fleas emerging from eggs that were laid prior to the treatment. Provided you have not vacuumed or cleaned the floors, the residue left behind will kill these fleas a few hours after they have come into contact with it.
Yes, the treatment is guaranteed for 30 days.
