Flea Control Ashford
A new-build carpet fitted before completion can still carry flea pupae from wherever the underlay or offcuts came from, dormant until someone moves in.
Flea Control in Ashford
Fleas don't need an old building to establish - a brand-new carpet is just as capable of hosting pupae as an old one, and the pupae stage can lie dormant for months, hatching only once vibration and body heat signal a host has arrived.
More commonly on a new estate, fleas arrive with a pet moving in, and the carpet and the pet need treating together - treating one without the other just means round two a few weeks later.
Local pattern
Dormant Pupae Don't Care How New The Carpet Is
A survey checks carpet edges, skirting gaps and anywhere a pet spends time, regardless of the property's age.
Treatment is only effective alongside current flea treatment from your vet for any pet in the house - we'll always ask what's currently being used before booking.
New-build proofing that deals with rats and mice has no bearing on fleas, which don't use structural gaps to get in.

We just moved into a new-build with a pet - could the carpet already have fleas?
Possibly, if the underlay or carpet came from a source that had them - the pupae stage can lie dormant for months before hatching.
Do we need to treat our pet as well as the carpet?
Yes, always - treatment only works properly alongside current flea treatment from your vet.
How much is flea control in Ashford?
