How an empty home fills with fleas

Where a previous pet left eggs in the carpet, those develop into pupae that can stay dormant in a durable cocoon for weeks if nothing disturbs the place, true near Surbiton too, where handsome Victorian and Edwardian villas. Movement and body heat trigger the next generation to hatch, so a flat left empty over the summer can start producing bites within days of a new tenant moving in.
Is it really fleas?
Look low, around the ankle or lower leg, for the bite itself, and remember fleas jump rather than crawl; their droppings show up reddish on a piece of damp paper, whether that's near Norbiton, where dense terraced streets and student housing close to Kingston University, or elsewhere in the borough. Bites higher up, in a row along an arm, point somewhere else - see the bed bug guide instead.
Moving into student housing near the university

Rented houses around Norbiton and Kingston University often turn over each September, and a flea problem left by a previous tenant's pet can greet the next set of housemates almost immediately. Note when bites started and photograph any flea dirt in the carpet.
If you let the property
An empty property between tenants is the easiest point to treat fleas, nothing to shift and no one there to get bitten, whether that's near Kingston, where the riverside market town centre, or elsewhere in the borough. A previous tenant's pet, or flea dirt spotted at check-out, are both reasons to act before the next tenants move in, just as near Surbiton, where handsome Victorian and Edwardian villas.
Clearing the carpets
Get ready for the visit by pulling furniture clear of the walls so every edge is reachable, vacuuming thoroughly and emptying the vacuum straight into an outdoor bin, then washing pet bedding on a hot cycle, whether that's near Norbiton, where dense terraced streets and student housing close to Kingston University, or elsewhere in the borough. There's no need to change routine afterwards, normal use and vacuuming draws the last hatching cocoons out, much as it does near Surbiton, where handsome Victorian and Edwardian villas.
