Flea Problems In Chelmsford

We were recently called into a school in the South East Essex area where the teacher and children were suffering from bites to their lower legs and ankles.

A quick survey identified the problem as fleas. Pets can often bring fleas into a home which can then be carried on people clothes to other locations. This was probably what happened in this case as several of the children in the class had cats and dogs at home.

Once in a property, fleas like to lay their eggs in areas that relatively undisturbed such as under furniture or in the carpet along skirting boards.

To clear the problem, once the children had left for the day, we treated the classroom and advised any parent with pets at home to check them for fleas and have them treated if necessary. This successfully cured the problem.
