Why fleas are a problem

Fleas are a significant problem in commercial environments, particularly where pets or wildlife may be present, such as in animal facilities, hospitality settings, or transportation hubs. They are known to bite and cause irritation, not only to animals but to humans as well, leading to discomfort and potential allergic reactions. Fleas also pose health risks, as they can transmit diseases and parasites like tapeworms. Furthermore, their rapid reproduction makes infestations difficult to control without prompt intervention, potentially impacting business operations and customer satisfaction if left unchecked.

Signs of fleas

Signs of fleas can include:

Itchy Bites: Fleas leave small, red, itchy bites, often on the legs and ankles.
Pet Scratching: Pets with fleas scratch, bite, or groom themselves excessively.
Flea Dirt: Dark, speck-like flea feces may be found on pets’ skin, bedding, or around the premises.
Live Fleas: You may see tiny brown fleas jumping on your pet or in carpets and bedding.
Pet Hair Loss: Flea bites can cause itching, leading to hair loss or skin infections in pets.

Why professional treatment is the solution

Professional treatment for fleas is necessary because fleas reproduce rapidly and can hide in hard-to-reach places, like carpets, bedding, and cracks in floors. DIY treatments may not address the entire flea lifecycle, especially pupae, which can remain dormant for up to a year, and lead to a re-infestation of your premises.

Merlin have access to powerful treatments and specialised equipment to thoroughly eliminate fleas quickly, and at all stages, ensuring long-term protection.

Why choose Merlin Environmental



Advanced solutions

Flea treatments include targeted insecticide applications and growth regulators. Insecticides are applied to carpets, furniture, and pet areas to kill adult fleas, while insect growth regulators (IGRs) interrupt the flea lifecycle, preventing eggs and larvae from maturing. Our professionals also conduct thorough inspections to identify flea hotspots and provide advice on prevention. Non-toxic solutions for flea control include steam and heat treatments. These effectively kill adult fleas and eggs on contact, providing a chemical-free approach ideal for sensitive areas. Often a combined approach is the most effective for flea eradication.



No interruption

Merlin’s pest control services are specifically designed to minimise disruption to business operations. We offer flexible out-of-hours visits to ensure treatments are carried out when the premises are not busy, maintaining business continuity. Additionally, Merlin can offer discreet, unmarked vans for customers who don’t want any attention being drawn to pest control activities. This careful approach allows businesses to stay pest-free without alarming customers or interrupting daily activities, ensuring a seamless, professional experience.



Highly effective

At Merlin, we use the most effective solutions to eradicate fleas, tailored to your business’s specific needs. While we can deploy powerful insecticides and IGR’s for flea control, we also offer non-toxic alternatives like steam treatments and heat, which promote a safer environment without compromising effectiveness. Our team can discuss all options with you when we do our free site visit, and you can decide how you wish to proceed. For businesses prioritising eco-friendly or chemical-free methods, our team will adapt the treatment plan, while still achieving exceptional results.

Frequently asked questions

When can you get here?

At Merlin, we completely understand the need for a swift response to pest control issues. We will always speak to you and find the best time for us to attend. If it's an emergency, we would expect to be there the next working day, or if we have the operatives near your business, we would attend the same day if you could accommodate this. We will always work alongside you to provide the best timings for our visits.

How much does the treatment cost?

This is dependent on the type of work and the severity of the problem. It is very difficult to give pre-pricing, even as a general guide, as the true extent of the issue will only be evident once surveyed and looked at. This is why, as a business, we do not charge for our surveys. The survey stage is also an opportunity to get to know you and your site and explore the problem. Pest control is a bespoke service; one size doesn't fit all. Each pest control offering is different, and is tailored to the site in question.

What do I have to do?

In most cases, before we attend, nothing. It’s only when we have attended the site for the in-depth, free-of-charge survey that we can recommend any points that you may need to do. This can take various forms, from a simple quick clear of clutter to removing shrubs and bushes that are providing harbourage and shelter for pests. But again, no two sites are the same, and understanding the site and its requirements is key to a successful pest control process.

How long will it take to resolve the issue?

It depends on the particular situation. We can confirm this after we have carried out a free, no-obligation site evaluation.

Are there any guarantees?

Yes. We provide either a one, or three-month guarantee depending on the treatment method used. We also guarantee that all work will be carried out by a BPCA certified pest control technician.
