The Arithmetic

Which Two Rooms It Usually Is

• The living room and the hallway — the commonest pairing by a distance
• A bedroom and the hallway, where the pet sleeps upstairs
• The living room and wherever the pet bed is — often a kitchen corner or utility
• Two rooms with continuous carpet between them
• A studio flat's living space and its hallway

The hallway is the one people leave off the list, and it is the one that undoes the other. It has the highest pet traffic in any property.

What Counts as a Room

Making the Room Count Honestly

• Follow the pet for a day and note every room it enters
• Include anywhere it has slept, even occasionally
• Include the hallway and landing if it uses the stairs
• Include a porch or utility if the pet bed has been there
• Do not include rooms it is genuinely never allowed in
• If in doubt, include it — £60 is cheaper than doing it twice

Preparing Two Rooms

• Vacuum both thoroughly — edges, under furniture, under sofa cushions, the stairs
• Empty into a sealed bag and put it outside straight away
• Wash pet bedding at 60°C or replace it
• Clear the floor — toys, shoes, anything under beds
• Move furniture from walls where you can
• Book the vet for the same period
• Plan where everyone will be during the re-entry window

Every Room Total

In a Flat With Shared Access

One situation worth flagging in a converted property.

• A communal hallway or stairwell is outside your demise and is not part of a domestic job
• If a neighbour's pet uses it, fleas can be picked up there and carried in
• Your own entrance hall inside the flat still counts as a room and should be treated
• Persistent reinfestation with a treated pet is worth mentioning to the managing agent
• Tell us if you suspect this — it changes what we advise

After Treatment, in Both Rooms

• Do not vacuum for the period we specify
• Do walk on the carpets normally — vibration triggers pupae to hatch into active treatment
• Expect fleas for two to three weeks. That is the pupal stage emerging, not a failure
• Keep the pet's veterinary treatment up continuously
• Resume vacuuming afterwards, frequently, in both rooms

Related Questions

Can I do one room now and one later?

The untreated room reseeds the treated one. £180 plus £180 is £360 rather than £240.

Does upstairs need doing if the cat stays down?

If it genuinely never goes up, no. If it goes up occasionally, include the landing.

What about the car?

We do not treat vehicles. A thorough vacuum and the pet's veterinary treatment covers it in practice.
