Where Bromley's Flea Problems Start
Rented flats around Orpington
Orpington's rented semis and flats change hands often enough that a previous tenant's pet can leave a dormant problem behind — the incoming tenant is usually the one who notices, not the one who caused it.
Pets in Hayes' cottages and semis
In Hayes' owner-occupied cottages, a household cat or dog is the more likely source, tracking fleas in from the garden gradually enough that vacuuming alone keeps pace for a while before the numbers get away.
Signs to Look For
- Small dark insects jumping on carpets, sofas or pet bedding
- Itchy bites, often around the ankles
- Pets scratching more than usual
- Tiny dark specks (flea dirt) in carpet fibres or pet bedding
