Flea Treatment in Croydon: what we see locally
Croydon's commons, downs and parks, from Farthing Downs and Happy Valley to Lloyd Park and Addington Hills, are full of dog walkers, and pets often bring fleas home in summer and autumn. Urban foxes, common across the borough, also carry fleas into gardens.
We also treat fleas in rented homes where previous tenants had pets, as dormant pupae can hatch when new occupants arrive. Our treatment covers carpets, floors and soft furnishings.
Flea calls in Croydon peak from July to October, when warm, humid weather speeds up their life cycle. Carpeted Victorian terraces in Thornton Heath and Norbury and the larger family homes of Purley and Coulsdon are both regularly affected, often after a pet has been treated late or missed a dose.

Keeping fleas out of Croydon homes
