Flea Treatment in Lewisham: what we see locally
Blackheath, Hilly Fields, Ladywell Fields and Beckenham Place Park are busy with dog walkers, and urban foxes are very common in Lewisham's back gardens. Fleas picked up outdoors end up in carpets and sofas.
We often treat fleas in rented homes where previous tenants had pets. Our treatment covers carpets, floors and soft furnishings, and we explain how to treat your pets with your vet.
Fleas thrive in Lewisham's carpeted Victorian terraces and breed fastest from July to October. Many of our calls come from tenants in Catford, Lewisham and New Cross who have just moved into a home where a previous occupant had a pet.
