Spotting Fleas Early

Fleas are tiny pests that can cause big problems in your home. They’re most often brought in by pets, but they can also travel on clothing or soft furnishings. At Pest Control Kent 24, we provide professional flea control in Kent to quickly identify and eliminate infestations.

Key Signs of a Flea Infestation

• Pets scratching more than usual
• Small red bites, often around ankles or legs
• Flea dirt (tiny black specks) in pet bedding or carpets
• Seeing live fleas jumping on furniture, carpets, or pets
• Allergic reactions in pets, such as hair loss or irritated skin

Why Quick Action Matters

Fleas multiply rapidly — one female can lay up to 50 eggs a day. Acting fast with professional flea treatment prevents the problem from spreading throughout your home.

Our Inspection Process

We carry out a thorough property survey, checking carpets, skirting boards, soft furnishings, and pet bedding for signs of fleas. Once confirmed, we recommend the most effective treatment plan for your home.
