Flea Treatment in Waltham Forest: what we see locally
Epping Forest, Lloyd Park, Walthamstow Marshes and Chingford Plain are popular with dog walkers, and the forest's deer and the borough's foxes carry fleas. Pets often bring fleas home in summer and autumn.
We also treat fleas in rented homes where previous tenants had pets. Our treatment covers carpets, floors and soft furnishings.
Many Waltham Forest homes are carpeted Victorian terraces, where flea larvae develop out of sight in carpet and underlay. Calls peak from July to October, and many come from tenants who have just moved into a home where a previous occupant had pets.
