Fleas are small but mighty insect pests that can be devastating if they enter your home. Even if you don’t have pets, it’s possible for fleas to enter your home from wildlife, clothing from those who have pets and even secondhand items such as used furniture.
Once they’re in, fleas can make your home theirs and be difficult to get rid of. Adult fleas regularly lay eggs, which can remain dormant for up to a year, then hatch when the weather’s warm.
As incredibly small insects, fleas can be very hard to see, but you’ll certainly notice them! You and your pet- if you have one- will soon be scratching once the flea eggs hatch.
So, getting rid of fleas as soon as possible is important, but it isn’t easy. While there are plenty of DIY flea treatment products on the market, to properly get rid of fleas for good, you need professional help.
Vermicure Pest Control removes flea infestations across Wakefield, Leeds, Harrogate and the surrounding areas.

Signs Of A Flea Infestation
As mentioned, it can be hard to spot fleas in your home as they’re so small. Thankfully, there are other ways to identify a flea infestation, including:
- Scratching: If you notice your pet scratching a lot or find yourself itching your skin more than usual, then this could be an early sign of fleas.
- Flea Dirt: Fleas themselves can be hard to spot because they’re small and fast, but flea dirt, or faeces, can be easy to notice, as it appears as small black spots on your pet, skin, bedding and furniture.
- Flea Bites: You may see small, round bite marks on your skin, which can be sore and itchy.
- Blood On Your Bedding: You might notice blood on your bed or pet bedding in your home, which is a sign of fleas.
The most common species of fleas found in the UK are the cat flea, dog flea and bird flea. Each type is slightly different and chooses a specific host animal, but they all can cause serious issues for you, your home and your business.

If you’ve identified a flea problem in your home or on your business premises, then you need professional support.
Flea larvae feed on blood, either from your pet or you and your family. They also breed rapidly, so you can quickly go from a minor issue to a major flea infestation in just a few weeks.
Dealing with the infestation yourself might seem like a good idea, but many over-the-counter flea products aren’t strong enough to deal with the fleas and can cause harm to you, your belongings and your pets.
