Fleas Can Linger Long After Pets Are Gone


Fleas thrive in warm environments, making carpets, bedding, and furniture ideal breeding grounds. They’re notoriously persistent—especially in properties with pets or previous tenants. We’re often called in when clients face:


  • Flea bites on legs, ankles, or exposed skin

  • Tenants reporting pest issues in rented homes or HMOs

  • Leftover infestations in void properties or post-tenancy cleans

  • Repeated flea activity despite DIY sprays or foggers

  • Risk of re-infestation from untreated animals or fabrics

  • Complaints and discomfort in hospitality or care settings


At Eighty Eight, we take a comprehensive, no-nonsense approach to flea control:


  • Full property inspection to identify active areas and flea hotspots

  • Residual insecticide treatments applied to floors, skirting boards, and furniture

  • Advice on pet treatment, cleaning, and laundering soft items

  • Follow-up visits if necessary for persistent infestations

  • Safe for pets and residents once dry

  • Documentation and RAMS available for landlords and property managers


We Provide Flea Control For:


  • Rental properties, HMOs, and housing associations

  • Pet-friendly homes and void properties

  • Letting agents and end-of-tenancy cleaning services

⭐ Client Testimonial

“After a tenant moved out with pets, we discovered a flea infestation throughout the property. Eighty Eight treated it quickly, followed up a week later, and the property was ready to re-let on schedule.”– Lettings Agent, Dudley
