Why Fleas Turn Up in Merton Homes
A change of occupant in Morden and Raynes Park semis
Flea eggs and larvae can sit dormant in carpet fibres for months, waiting for vibration and body heat to trigger hatching. A house move, new carpets going down, or simply a new tenant walking around a Morden or Raynes Park semi is often enough to bring a flea population that's been quiet for a long time back to life all at once.
Gardens and pet routines around Mitcham
In Mitcham's gardens, pets that spend time outdoors pick up fleas from the garden itself and carry them back indoors, where the carpet and any pet bedding become the breeding ground rather than the source.
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
