Why Fleas Turn Up in Hillingdon Rentals
End-of-tenancy flats around Hayes
Flea eggs and larvae can sit dormant in carpet fibres for weeks after a pet has left, then hatch once a new tenant brings warmth and footfall back into the room. It's a common complaint in Hayes's rented flats shortly after a changeover.
Carpeted houses towards West Drayton
West Drayton's older cottages and converted houses often still have fitted carpet in bedrooms, and a household without a current pet can still pick up a flea problem if a previous occupant's animal left eggs behind in the flooring.
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
