About fleas in the UK

Fleas are a common problem in UK businesses, namely the hospitality industry. Fleas are mainly carried by household pets but can also be carried on other (especially hairy) animals like rabbits, foxes, squirrels, rats, mice and livestock such as pigs. As parasites, the greatest concern about the presence of fleas in your business comes from their bites. Although these are not painful, they can result in an uncomfortable itch or reactive rash.

Monitoring of fleas in the first instance is vital to ascertain if it is indeed the pest in question, or if it is something else, such as “cable bugs”. The cable bug is a recent phenomenon and occurs most commonly in offices. People often end up with insect-like bite marks on exposed skin because of high levels of static electricity, often generated by people wearing synthetic soled shoes walking on shallow piled polypropylene carpets, the kind often used in offices. People become electrostatically charged as they move and attract uncharged particles of nylon carpets and fibre-glass insulation material which come into contact with their skin causing an allergic reaction which appears as a round reddened mark associated with biting insects. Confirming the presence of fleas in the first instance is very important because laying down any form of chemical flea treatment with no confirmed flea presence is against the law.

Frequently Asked Questions

When can you get here?

At Merlin we completely understand the need for a swift response for 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 their 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 meet and get to know you and your site. Pest control is a bespoke service, and 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 when we have attended the site for the in-depth free of charge survey, we can recommend any points that you may need to do. This can be in various forms, from a simple quick clear of clutter, to a removal of shrubs and bushes that are providing harbourage and shelter for pests. But again, no two sites are the same and the importance of 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.
