Safe, Effective Flea Control for Homes and Businesses
Fleas might be tiny, but they can cause huge problems for households and businesses alike. Known for their painful bites and ability to spread quickly through carpets, furniture and clothing, flea infestations need fast, professional treatment.
At Briarquest Pest Control, we offer RSPH Level 2 certified flea removal services across Scunthorpe, Hull, Grimsby and the wider North Lincolnshire area. Whether you have pets or not, we can help get rid of fleas for good and protect your home or business.
How Do Fleas Enter Your Property?
Fleas are often brought in by dogs and cats, but they can also enter your home in other ways:
On second-hand clothing or furniture
By wildlife or birds nesting nearby
On visiting pets or stray animals
Or even from a previous occupant or tenant
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s essential to act fast before the infestation spreads further.
Signs of a Flea Infestation
Fleas are tiny and hard to spot, but they leave behind clear indicators:
Flea Bites: Small, red, itchy bites—often around ankles or on your pet’s skin
Excessive Scratching: Pets or people constantly itching
Flea Dirt: Black specks in pet fur or on bedding, which turn red when wet
Flea Eggs: White, salt-like particles found in carpets or bedding
Sightings: Small jumping insects, particularly on light fabrics or your pet
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s time to call in Briarquest Pest Control for fast and effective flea treatment.
The Flea Life Cycle – Why Fast Action Matters
Fleas go through four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. They can remain dormant for weeks or even months, only hatching when they detect heat and movement.
That’s why DIY treatments often fail—they don’t deal with fleas at every stage of life. Our professional pest controllers use treatments that are specially designed to target all stages of the flea life cycle and prevent re-infestation.
Flea Removal That Works – How We Do It
Our flea control service is safe, thorough and designed to deliver long-lasting results. The process includes:
Inspection – We identify the severity of the infestation and the best treatment method
Preparation – You’ll need to vacuum thoroughly and wash soft items at 60°C
Treatment – We apply a professional-grade insecticide that remains effective for weeks
Optional Steam Cleaning – In certain cases, we may use steam to kill fleas quickly and naturally
Follow-Up Advice – We advise on proofing and cleaning to stop fleas returning
All treatments are safe for pets and children once dry, and far more effective than anything available in shops or online.
