Professional Flea Treatments In Litherland

About Fleas

Fleas are a unique pest, in how difficult it is to identify an infestation, simply from their minuscule size. A fully grown flea is around two millimetres long, with overlapping, rigid plates on its back and long, bent hind legs for leaping from one food source to the other. If you look closely, a small, curled needle-like appendage can be seen hanging down from the mouth, used for piercing and sucking. Without applying competent Litherland flea treatment, this particular pest can reproduce rapidly, and establish a long-running infestation, as adult fleas can survive for several weeks without a blood meal. Litherland flea treatment is probably most frequently required in domestic homes. A wall to wall carpeting provides an ideal and relatively undisturbed environment where flea larvae can develop, and central heating provides favourable temperature conditions. One of the signs of flea infestation can be abrupt, unusual allergic reactions in people within your household. In less common cases, fleas can spread blood-borne diseases between humans and animals; many historical scientists now hold fleas responsible for the rapid spread of the bubonic plague (black death) in 1665. Suppose you discover a flea problem in your residence. In that case, it is recommended that you invest in Litherland flea treatment as soon as possible, as they are notorious bastions of disease and parasitic worms.

Our Services

Although the flea is probably the most elusive pest we deal with, once our trained staff can assess the species and extent of the infestation, we will use trusted, up to date equipment to trace what evidence there is to the pest. This will help our team identify probable hosts to the problems, and even the largest concentration of fleas within the property, which is essential for targeting nests and adult fleas. Once the situation has been looked over, flea fumigation tools and insecticides can be deployed in strategic places around the residence, effectively eradicating your flea problem and preventing infestations in the future. Alternatively, if mice and rats are identified as the fleas’ primary hosts, rodenticides can remove pests and kill two birds with one stone.
