Flea Treatment in Bexley: what we see locally
Bexley is a borough of family homes, gardens and pets, so flea problems are common, especially in summer and early autumn. Pets pick up fleas outdoors and bring them home, where eggs drop into carpets and furniture.
Flea pupae can also lie dormant in empty homes and hatch when new occupants move in. Our treatment covers carpets, floors and soft furnishings in the treated rooms, and we explain how to treat your pets with your vet.
Bexley's open spaces, including Danson Park, Footscray Meadows and Lesnes Abbey Woods, are popular with dog walkers, and many of the borough's semis have carpeted bedrooms and lounges where flea eggs settle. Fleas are most active in warm, humid weather, so we're busiest from July to October.
Where we find fleas in Bexley
- Homes with pets: Cats and dogs are the main source of fleas.
- Newly occupied homes: Dormant pupae hatch when people move in.

Keeping fleas out of Bexley homes
Treat all your pets with a vet-recommended flea product all year, wash pet bedding weekly and vacuum carpets, rugs and sofas often, emptying the vacuum outside. If you move into a Bexley home where pets lived before, ask whether it was treated for fleas.
