Pest Control Between Tenancies in Kenton
A long family let leaves its mark. When a tenant moves out after several years, the property may have fleas in the carpets from a pet, moths in rooms that were used for storage, or mice that the tenant simply lived with.
Why the empty period matters
An empty house is the easiest to treat: furniture is gone, every floor is reachable and nobody needs to be kept out of rooms. It is also the moment when flea pupae lie dormant, waiting for the next occupants to wake them — which is why a problem ignored now becomes a complaint in the new tenant's first week.
What to check at the check-out inspection
- Flea dirt or fleas on carpets where a pet slept
- Thin or bald patches along carpet edges and in wardrobes
- Droppings in kitchen cupboards, the garage or the loft
- Wasp nest remains in the loft or under the eaves
Deposits and agreements
Whether treatment can be charged to an outgoing tenant depends on the tenancy agreement and the evidence from the inventory and check-out. Because our prices are published — £180 for the first room for fleas, for example — the cost is clear for everyone. For a dispute, the deposit protection scheme's guidance is the place to go; we are pest controllers, not letting advisers.
For letting agents
Agents managing several Kenton properties can call us to arrange treatments between tenancies, with access through the agent.
