Flea Treatment in Merton: what we see locally
Wimbledon Common, Mitcham Common and Morden Hall Park are some of south London's favourite dog-walking spots, and they're also home to foxes, rabbits and other wildlife that carry fleas. Pets often bring fleas home in summer and early autumn.
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, and we explain how to treat your pets with your vet.
Carpeted interwar semis in Morden, Raynes Park and Motspur Park are often affected, as larvae develop deep in carpet and underlay.
