Fleas are commonly introduced by pets and can spread quickly throughout a property once established. They reproduce rapidly and can remain dormant for extended periods, making infestations difficult to resolve without a thorough treatment programme.

Common Signs of Flea Infestation

• Bites on people or pets – often itchy, small red marks, commonly around ankles and lower legs
• Pets scratching more than usual – especially dogs or cats biting, licking, or chewing at their fur
• Flea dirt – small black specks in pet bedding, carpets, soft furnishings, or on your pet’s coat
• Live fleas – tiny dark brown insects moving quickly through fur, bedding, carpets, or upholstery
• Restless pets – pets may seem uncomfortable or agitated
• Larvae in soft furnishings – in heavier infestations, flea larvae may be present deep in carpets, cracks, or pet resting areas
• Ongoing activity after vacuuming – fleas may keep appearing because eggs and pupae remain in the environment

At Rat King Pest Control, we provide professional flea treatment in Eastbourne and across East Sussex, using a careful and effective approach to confirm activity, treat the infestation, and help prevent it from continuing.

What to Expect from a Flea Treatment

Your technician will assess the affected areas and use flea monitors where appropriate to help confirm the presence of flea activity before commencing chemical treatment.

For safety, the property must remain vacant during treatment and for up to 4 hours afterwards. Full preparation and aftercare guidance will be provided before treatment begins.

Flea treatment will usually need to be carried out 2 to 3 times over the course of around 3 weeks for best results. This is to help ensure the flea life cycle is broken as fully as possible.

Pre-treatment and housekeeping advice will form an important part of your treatment plan and must be followed carefully. This may include measures such as vacuuming, washing pet bedding, and ensuring pets are treated appropriately.

Survey: FREE

We offer a free survey to assess suspected flea activity and recommend the most suitable treatment plan for your property. No treatment will be carried out without evidence of activity.

We offer a package that covers the minimum recommended number of treatments of 2. This can be tailored to your property by adding additional rooms and treatments where needed, depending on the severity of the infestation.
