Firstly when it comes to fleas, our pest specialist will need to identify the source of infestation – typically the host is an animal(s), however they are capable of feeding on humans. If the host is an animal it will need to be treated appropriately by a third party.
A residual insecticide will then be applied to all areas frequented by the host (although all areas in the premises will be sprayed as a precaution). It is usually advised that we would need to carry out two follow up treatments for fleas between 7-10 days apart, the premises are treated in exactly the same way as the initial visit.
