Flea treatment in Doncaster

Signs of fleas

• Small itchy bites, usually around the ankles and lower legs
• Pets scratching, biting at their fur or losing hair
• Tiny dark insects jumping on carpets, rugs or pet bedding
• Black specks (flea dirt) on pet bedding that turn red on damp kitchen roll

Why they're hard to get rid of

Adult fleas on a pet are only a small part of the problem. Most of a flea population is eggs, larvae and pupae in carpets, rugs, sofas and pet beds. Pupae are protected inside a cocoon and can wait weeks or months for a warm body to pass, which is why fleas often appear in a home that's been empty for a while, or after a pet has gone.

How we treat them

We treat carpets, rugs, soft furnishings and pet areas with an insecticide spray that also stops eggs and larvae developing. Your pets need treating with a product from your vet at the same time, or the fleas will come back. You'll need to stay out of the treated rooms for a few hours until it's dry.

After treatment, vacuum every day for at least two weeks. The vibration makes pupae hatch, and the new fleas then meet the treatment. It's normal to see some fleas for a week or two afterwards.

What it costs

A house flea treatment in the UK typically costs £100 to £220 in 2026, outside London (Fantastic Services). You get a fixed price before we start.

Before we arrive

• Vacuum all floors, sofas and pet beds thoroughly and empty the vacuum outside.
• Wash pet bedding on a hot wash.
• Clear the floors so we can reach under beds and furniture.
• Book your pets' flea treatment with your vet for the same day.
