Flea Control Leighton Buzzard

Flea Control in Leighton Buzzard

Leighton Buzzard and Linslade sit either side of the canal, and the towpath, the meadows and the sand quarries give the area a healthy fox population. Foxes carry the same flea that lives on cats and dogs, and they bring it to the edge of gardens backing onto open ground.

The housing is older terraces close in and larger family housing further out, with a steady amount of rented property throughout.

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

Wildlife

Foxes, and Gardens Backing Onto Open Ground

Where a garden backs onto the canal, a field or the old quarry land, the flea source is often outside the fence not inside the house. A fox lying up under a shed or a decking board puts a steady supply of eggs into the dry ground there, and a dog that patrols the fence line brings them indoors.

We will look at the boundary as well as the carpet. Treating the house while a fox is raising cubs under the decking is a repeat visit waiting to happen, and it is better to know that on the first visit.

Soft furnishings

The Sofa, the Stairs and the Car

The three places people forget. A dog that is allowed on the sofa puts more eggs into it than into its own bed. The stair carpet gets walked every time the animal goes up or down, so it collects a steady scatter. And the boot of the car, if the dog travels, is a small warm enclosed carpeted box that nobody ever treats.

Tell us about all three when you ring. Two visits because the car was never mentioned is a genuinely common way for this to go wrong.

What we ask

Booking a Visit in Leighton Buzzard

Tell us whether the garden backs onto open ground, where the animal is allowed to sit, and whether it travels in the car. 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 Leighton Buzzard.
