Professional Flea Control Services Across London
Fleas are extremely common and can be brought into your property on your pets’ fur, clothing, furniture or by someone already infected. However, due to the rapid breeding rates and excellent mobility of fleas, it’s crucial to address the issue promptly and with specialised assistance.
Fleas can hide deep inside carpet edges, upholstered furniture or anywhere that pets sleep. Some fleas live for months without a blood feed, and these dormant fleas mean that the infestation can return, especially if you use DIY flea products for your initial treatment. Fleas cause itching and serious distress, and some people can get an allergic reaction to flea saliva, which means controlling fleas fast is crucial.

Our Flea Control Procedure
To ensure that you get rid of the flea infestation for good, we strongly recommend you contact a professional pest control company if you have identified fleas in your home or business. You can find local flea treatment that removes all flea species and at all life cycle stages.
If you need to remove fleas, get in touch with our team to get the flea control process started. Call us on 0204 566 5522, email us at [email protected] or fill in one of the contact forms on our website and a pest expert will talk you through the process.
Typically, we can provide a quote over the phone for your professional flea treatment. However, in some cases, we may need to conduct a site survey before quoting for your flea treatment. Our team will check for the most common species of fleas, which include cat fleas, dog fleas, human fleas and bird fleas. While they are named after their preferred host animal, all flea species will bite other animals or humans in search of a blood meal.
Once your initial flea treatment is booked, we will hoover all areas to help remove debris, eggs, larvae and adult fleas. We do this before our insecticide treatment to stimulate the adults to hatch from their cocoon stage. Our standard flea treatment uses insecticides as a liquid spray or flea powder, which are not available to the general public and designed to be safe and effective. Our technicians will discuss with you the most suitable and safe option for your property.
Having removed the fleas, our experts will be on hand for helpful advice after the treatment. We will also return to your property as many times as required to ensure the flea treatment is 100% effective. Our team can also provide you with guidance on how to prevent fleas from returning.
Signs Of A Flea Infestation
Adult fleas are only 1-4mm in length, and flea eggs are even smaller at 0.5mm in length, which means it can be difficult to see them, especially when the infestation is only small. Some other signs that you have a flea problem include:
- Intense Itching: Itching, either among your family or pets, is a clear sign of fleas.
- Flea Bites: Alongside itching, you and your pets may develop red, itchy welts on your skin.
- Dark Specks: While you might not see adult fleas easily, lots of dark specks, particularly in pet bedding and soft furnishings, could be fleas or flea dirt.
If you notice any of these signs of fleas, then you need expert flea treatment. Contact us to book your visit and get rid of fleas at all life cycle stages.
Commercial Flea Control For Businesses Across London
Fleas in your business can seriously damage your reputation and impact your revenue and profits. With the rise in social media, honest reviews and transparent experiences, customers will likely stay away once they hear about your flea infestation. In addition, under the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949, businesses must take the necessary action to maintain a vermin and pest-free environment. Failure to do so can lead to forced business closure, fines and legal action.
It’s not just companies that deal with pets, such as dog groomers or vets, that can get fleas. Fleas can be transported in clothing or luggage, meaning they can be found in hotels, accommodation providers and even on public transport throughout London.
By contacting Integrum, you will receive a discreet and reliable service that promises fast results against flea infestations. We strive to keep businesses and customers free from the damaging implications of pests; therefore, your organisation will be treated as top-priority to restore business safety and compliance. In our extensive experience, we have worked for small, large and enterprise businesses around the UK, so you can be confident in our flea treatment service.
If your business is at risk of fleas, arrange for our BPCA-certified surveyors to visit and conduct a thorough inspection by calling 0204 566 5522. We will recommend the best course of action and put together a bespoke treatment plan to strategically rid your business of pests and protect against future re-infestations.
Flea Control FAQs
Still need help? Contact us
What is the main cause of fleas?
The most common cause of a flea infestation is from your pets, with the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis) most prevalent, followed by the dog flea (Ctenocephalides canis). Additionally, fleas can easily jump from one pet to another (rabbits, mice and livestock) or thrive in vegetation. Unfortunately, fleas breed rapidly, and a small problem could quickly develop into a severe infestation, and pupae live deep inside soft furnishings, and can remain dormant for up to a year. As a result, even those who don’t have pets can get fleas, through contact with contaminated clothing or soft furnishings. If you find fleas on your property, you should book professional flea treatment as soon as possible.
What is the flea life cycle?
The flea life cycle is in 4 stages: egg, larva, pupa (cocoon), and finally, adult fleas. During the pupal stage, fleas can lie dormant for as long as a year, then emerge and lay eggs, starting the entire cycle again. So, even what you think are treated areas could harbour dormant flea larvae, especially if you used DIY flea products that are ineffective. For a professional flea treatment that’s guaranteed to eliminate fleas at all life cycle stages, contact Integrum Services today.
How can you tell if you have fleas?
While the most obvious signs of fleas is seeing them, they are very small, so it can be hard to spot them. One of the most common signs of a flea pest problem is the red bites around your feet and legs. These itchy bumps can trigger allergies and become very sore if scratched. You may also notice yourself or your pet scratching more. We recommend inspecting their coat, pet bedding and any soft furnishings around the home to try and identify active fleas, flea eggs or flea dirt. It can be hard to spot fleas, but you might see small specks, which indicate fleas or eggs.
Do I need to call a professional pest controller for a flea problem?
We advise enlisting professional help if you have identified a flea problem in your home or business. These parasites transmit diseases and cause immense discomfort for both humans and pets. So, if you or your pets are experiencing flea bites or allergies, it’s integral to consult a professional who can provide appropriate treatments. In addition, if you have attempted DIY flea control methods in the past without success or if the infestation keeps recurring, this indicates your need for expert intervention. Fleas can remain dormant for up to a year at the cocoon stage, and so you may not realise that you’ve not got rid of the full infestation. Flea sprays and DIY remedies do little to mitigate a flea infestation. However, at Integrum, we have access to specialised products and treatments that are 100% effective and deliver quick results. We can also provide advice on how to prevent fleas in the future.
How much does flea control cost?
Our professional flea removal service varies depending on the number of infected rooms and the severity of the problem. Integrum’s domestic flea pest control London treatments start at just £298, including VAT, with additional rooms from £60. To receive a comprehensive quote to treat fleas at your home or business premises, call us today or visit our pest control London pricing page.
What species of fleas are found in the UK?
The most common species of fleas in the UK are cat fleas, but dog fleas, human fleas and even bird fleas have been found. Whatever flea species you’re dealing with, Integrum can kill adult fleas and remove flea eggs, larvae and pupae, as well as flea droppings and other debris left behind during a flea infestation.
How do you get rid of fleas permanently?
The best way to kill fleas as well as flea larvae and eggs to ensure the infestation is fully removed, is to work with a pest control company. Professional pest control companies like ourselves use a flea insecticide spray or flea fumigation heat treatment to tackle active infestations. This process will leave behind a strong chemical exterminating all living fleas. Over time, as eggs hatch and dormant fleas emerge, this residual insecticide chemical will take effect and eradicate all remaining pests. Therefore, we do not recommend hoovering or cleaning the affected areas until the treatment has taken full effect. To find out more, speak to our professional flea exterminator via the online WhatsApp chat feature today.
