Flea Removal For Homes And Businesses Across Bradford
Fleas strike terror into the heart of any pet owner. These tiny insect pests can lay eggs on your pets and make themselves at home in your property, burrowing into soft furnishings and pet bedding. Before you know it, what started as an itchy dog or cat could quickly turn into a major flea infestation.
What you might not realise is that even non-pet owners can get fleas. Fleas might enter your property on clothes from infested animals or even on secondhand furniture or clothes. Also, if you have rodent pests, such as rats or mice, then they can carry fleas into your property.
However they got in, once they’ve found a regular source of blood to feed on, fleas won’t leave and will keep multiplying. Before you know it, you could have a major flea problem on your hands.
DIY flea control products alone won’t solve the issue, as fleas can fit into tiny crevices, and flea eggs can remain dormant for up to a year.
Professional flea treatments from experts like Riddex Pest Control are the only way to completely eradicate fleas. Covering Bradford and the surrounding area, we remove all flea species, including cat fleas, dog fleas, human fleas and bird fleas.
Whatever type of fleas you’re dealing with, we’re here to help homeowners and business leaders throughout the Bradford area. Call 07706 674706 to book your flea control visit.

Signs Of A Flea Infestation
Like bed bugs, fleas are minuscule and can be difficult to see with the naked eye. Some common signs of fleas include:
- Increased Scratching: If you or your pets are scratching more, this could be a sign of fleas.
- Flea Bites: Check yourself and your pets for small red welts, which could be flea bites. On humans, fleas usually bite around the ankles or legs.
- Flea Dirt: Flea droppings, commonly known as flea dirt, look like black grit and are often found in pet fur or bedding.
- Flea Eggs: Virtually microscopic, flea eggs are around 0.5 millimetres in length and about half as wide. You might notice clumps of them in your soft furnishings or in your pet’s fur.
- Hair Loss: In cats and other animals, fleas can cause hair loss, so if you notice this in conjunction with the other signs of flea activity mentioned, then this could indicate a flea infestation.
Fleas multiply rapidly, and a single female flea can lay as many as 50 eggs in one day. So, if you notice any signs of fleas, contact us to book your professional flea treatment.
Riddex’s Flea Treatment Process
Fleas can be tough to get rid of since they’re tiny and often crawl into minute cracks and crevices. They can be found inside bedding and soft furnishings, as well as deep inside carpets, rugs, curtains and other fabrics.
That’s what makes these irritating parasites so difficult to treat. Over-the-counter flea products often focus on pets without taking into account other areas in your home.

Our team are experienced in removing fleas, so they know where to look and will take the time to remove all adult fleas, flea larvae and eggs from your property. They can also advise you on how to remove fleas from cats, dogs and other pets in the home.
