Flea Control Canterbury
A shared student house with a resident cat, and carpets that rarely get a deep clean between tenancies, is a common source of a flea problem discovered by new tenants.
Flea Control in Canterbury
A pet kept in a shared house over several tenancies, without the carpet ever being properly treated alongside the animal's own flea control, can leave a population that outlasts several sets of tenants, only noticed when someone new gets bitten.
The pattern here mirrors the summer-changeover issue seen with other pests - an empty house over the break is exactly the dormant period fleas need before a new tenancy wakes them up.
Local pattern
Carpets That Outlast Several Tenancies
A survey checks the whole house's carpeted areas, not just the room reporting bites, since fleas move around a shared living space more readily than they stay in one bedroom.
Landlords and agents should ask whether a pet has been kept in the property historically, even by a previous tenancy, since that history matters more than what the current tenants have.
Treatment at the start of a new tenancy, alongside a genuine deep clean, deals with this properly rather than leaving pupae to hatch on the next occupants.

New tenants are being bitten but don't have a pet. Why?
A previous tenancy's pet very likely left dormant pupae in the carpet, which have now hatched on the new tenants' body heat and movement.
Should the whole house be treated or just one room?
The whole house's carpeted areas are worth checking, since fleas move around shared living space rather than staying confined to one bedroom.
How much is flea control in Canterbury?
