Flea Control Broadstairs
A holiday let that's stood empty for a week between guests can have dormant flea pupae waiting for the next arrival to trigger them.
Flea Control in Broadstairs
If a previous guest's pet, or a resident cat that gets into the garden, has left flea pupae in the carpet, an empty week between bookings is exactly the dormant period that ends the moment a new guest's footsteps and body heat arrive.
That makes a fresh flea complaint from a guest genuinely not the current guest's fault - the pupae were very likely there before they checked in.
Local pattern
An Empty Week Between Guests Is A Dormant Period, Not A Clean Slate
A survey of a let property checks carpet edges and skirting throughout, not just where a guest reported bites, since pupae can be present without an obvious source pet in the room.
For a pet-friendly let, checking and treating between every changeover is worth building into the routine given how easily fleas re-establish from a previous guest's animal.
Treatment doesn't require an on-site pet to be effective in a holiday let - it's about clearing the carpet itself.

A guest was bitten but hadn't brought a pet - how is that possible?
A previous guest's pet, or an outdoor cat getting in, can leave dormant pupae in the carpet that hatch weeks later on a new guest's body heat and movement.
Should we check between every changeover if we allow pets?
Worth doing, yes, given how easily fleas re-establish from one guest's animal to affect the next.
