Why Tenants Need Flea Fumigation
Even if you don’t see fleas, tenancy agreements often require fumigation if pets have been present. Flea eggs are microscopic and can survive in carpets for weeks, hatching long after you’ve moved out. A professional service ensures the next tenant won’t inherit a problem — and that you won’t lose part of your deposit.

DIY sprays may seem cheaper, but they don’t come with proof of treatment. Landlords and letting agents usually require a professional flea fumigation certificate. That’s why hiring a local pest control company is the only reliable way to meet tenancy requirements.
