Flea Control Newcastle
Fleas don't just make pets miserable — they bite humans, infest carpets and can persist for months. A single treatment often isn't enough because eggs, larvae and pupae continue developing after adults are killed.
Signs you may have fleas
- Pets scratching
- Bites on ankles & legs
- Flea dirt in pet bedding
- Jumping insects in carpets
- Restless pets
Why fleas becomes a problem
Fleas reproduce rapidly, with eggs falling into carpets, bedding and floorboard gaps. The pupal stage is protected inside a cocoon and can survive for months, hatching when they sense vibration — which is why fleas often 'return' after treatment.
How Universal Pest Control treats fleas
Universal applies a thorough internal treatment to carpets, floor areas, pet resting spots and skirting perimeters, plus external treatment where pets spend time. We advise on the critical role of pet treatment by your vet.
