Fleas concentrate where the pet rests, not where the pet walks. That is why the sofa and the bed are always the worst two rooms.
Because that is where the pet lies still. Eggs fall off in numbers where the animal rests, so the sofa, its usual corner and any bed it sleeps on carry the heaviest load.
Treat both rooms together. Treating one and leaving the other guarantees reinfestation.
If you want to find them, look where the animal chooses to lie down, not where it walks past.
£180 for the first room, £60 for each additional room. Published, up to four rooms.
View Flea Control Pinner →| Pattern | Likely |
|---|---|
| Ankles and lower legs, several at once | Fleas |
| Bites appear after sitting on the sofa | Fleas |
