Flea Control Chesham

Flea Control in Chesham

Chesham's older streets are terraced, the centre has flats above commercial units, and the valley sides put a lot of gardens straight against woodland. All three change where a flea problem sits.

Flats above shops are the awkward version: a shared stair, a shared entrance and a floor void that nobody owns.

Ring 01908 465226 and tell us what you have seen in Chesham.

Above shops

Flats Over Commercial Units

A flat above a shop shares a stair and an entrance with whoever else is in the building, and often a floor void with the unit below. If the shop takes dogs, or there is a cat living in the void, the flat gets the consequences without ever having had an animal in it.

We look at the shared stair and the entrance carpet as part of the job, and where the evidence sits there we put it in writing so the freeholder or managing agent has something to act on.

Woodland edge

Gardens Against the Trees

On the valley sides, gardens run into woodland and the local wildlife uses them as a corridor. The one people miss is a bird's nest in a soffit or an eave. Bird fleas are a different species from the cat flea, and once a nest is abandoned after the chicks fledge they come looking for something else to feed on — which is directly above a bedroom ceiling.

So if the bites are upstairs and there is no animal in the house, we will ask about nests in the eaves and about anything living in the loft before we ask about anything else.

What we ask

Booking a Visit in Chesham

Tell us whether it is a flat or a house, what is above and below, and whether anything has been heard in the loft. That decides most of what we need to know before we arrive.

After the visit you get a plain account of what was found, what was treated and what is still to do. Businesses and landlords get it in writing for their own records.

If the property is empty between tenants rather than lived in, that is a different treatment with its own page: end of tenancy flea fumigation in Chesham.
