How does flea treatment work?
Our flea control Manchester service starts by finding out how far the fleas have spread. If they are throughout the home, a professional treatment is needed, because eggs, larvae and pupae hide in bedding, carpets, floorboards and behind skirting.
A BPCA-trained technician treats the property using up-to-date techniques, and we give you a treatment advice sheet so you know what to do afterwards.
Signs you have fleas
Fleas live on or near their host. These are the signs to check for.
Live fleas
Around 2mm long, brown, and they jump.
Bites
A tiny dark red spot with a reddened area round it. Very itchy, lasting 3–4 days.
Fleas on pets
Brush the coat against the grain, especially around the neck, to see the skin.
Black specks
Fine black specks in pet bedding are flea droppings.
Bites in an empty house
Dormant fleas can emerge and bite when someone moves into a property that has been empty.
Know your flea
Having fleas does not mean your home is dirty. They can be brought in by pets, rats, mice, birds’ nests, rabbits, hedgehogs or even people, and they will bite humans as well as pets.
Flea control is part of our full pest control Manchester service, so the same team can deal with any other pests you find.

Flea Control Manchester FAQs
Does having fleas mean my home is dirty?
No. Fleas thrive in the cleanest of homes. They are brought in by pets, wildlife or people.
Will pet fleas bite people?
Yes. Fleas are not fussy about who they bite, so pet fleas will bite humans too.
Why did I get bitten in an empty house?
Fleas can lie dormant as pupae for up to 12 months. Someone moving into an empty property can trigger them to emerge and bite.
Is treating my pet enough?
Not if the fleas have spread through the home. Eggs and larvae live in bedding, carpets, floorboards and behind skirting, so the property needs treating too.
How much does flea treatment cost in Manchester?
It depends on the size of the property and how established the problem is. Call 0161 210 2536 for a quote. Commercial work is quoted after a survey.
