How to recognise them
Cat and dog flea
Tiny and jumping. Eggs and larvae hide in rugs, pet beds, sofas and floor cracks.
Ticks
They wait in long grass, bushes and woods and latch on to people and animals passing by.
Warning signs not to ignore
- Red, itchy bites on the ankles and legs
- Dog or cat scratching constantly
- Black specks in the fur or in the pet's bed
- Ticks found on pets after a walk in the garden
Why they are a problem
- Itching and allergic reactions
- Ticks can transmit diseases such as Lyme disease
- Fleas can infest an empty flat for months
How we work
- InspectionWe find where the larvae live: pet beds, rugs, sofas, outdoor areas.
- Indoor treatmentWe treat floors, rugs and cracks with products that also stop the larvae from developing.
- Outdoor treatmentIn the garden we treat grass, hedges and shady areas used by the animals.
Safety: we use only products authorised for professional use, in the right doses and places. When we finish, we leave you a job sheet listing the products used, the areas treated and what you should do next.
What you can do to prevent them
- Treat dogs and cats with the parasite treatments recommended by your vet
- Wash pet beds and blankets often at a high temperature
- Vacuum rugs and sofas and empty the bag straight away
- Keep the garden grass short

FAQ
Do I need to treat the animal too?
Yes: the vet decides how to treat the animal. We take care of the surroundings: neither treatment is enough on its own.
Why are there fleas in an empty house?
Fleas can stay in the cocoon stage for a long time and wake up when someone comes back into the house. This often happens after a move.
