Flea Treatment: 5 frequently asked questions
Why am I still seeing fleas after treatment?
Pupae can survive treatment and hatch for up to 2–3 weeks. Vacuuming daily helps them hatch so the treatment can kill them.
Do I need to leave the house?
Yes, for about 2–3 hours after treatment, with pets out of the house too, until the spray has dried.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Every whole-property flea treatment comes with a 3-month guarantee as standard. If fleas come back within 3 months, call us and we'll come back and re-treat.
I've just moved in and have fleas, but I have no pets.
This is very common. Fleas left by a previous occupant's pets become active when new people move in. One treatment usually sorts it.
Do I need to treat my pets too?
Yes. Treat your pets with a vet-approved flea product before our visit, otherwise fleas will keep being brought back into the home.
