Small but mighty, fleas can be terrifying for homes and businesses, especially those in hospitality or healthcare.
Much like bed bugs, because of their small size, fleas are minuscule pests that feed off blood. Usually, fleas are transported into your home through your pets and are common in homes with multiple four-legged friends or outdoor cats.
In some cases, fleas might be transmitted through used clothing or secondhand upholstered furniture. Flea eggs can lie dormant for up to a year in tiny crevices, meaning even if the old owner thought they have got rid of the infestation, it could return and enter your space.
If you’re dealing with fleas, the good news is help is at hand. Invicta Environmental offers professional flea treatments to homes and businesses throughout Durham, Newcastle, Sunderland, Middlesbrough and across the North East.

Signs Of Flea Infestations
Sightings of any pest are usually the first sign of an infestation, but because of their small size, fleas can be virtually impossible to see with the naked eye. Some other signs of fleas include:
- Itching: If you notice yourself or your pet scratching more than usual, this is an initial sign of flea activity.
- Flea Dirt: Flea droppings, or dirt, are small, dark specks that you might see in your pet’s fur, near their skin, or on your soft furnishings.
- Eggs: Flea eggs look like tiny grains of rice and are often found in your pet’s bedding or in your furniture.
- Bite Marks: Small, red welts on your own or your pet’s skin might be flea bites, which can be itchy and painful.
- Dark Spots: Specs of black or dark red organic matter on your bedding could be flea dirt or blood from where the fleas have bitten you in the night.
Once you spot fleas, there’s a good chance they’ve moved into your space and won’t leave on their own. Contact us to book a flea treatment today and start your journey towards a pest-free space.
Get Rid Of Fleas Fast With Invicta
Finding fleas in your home can be truly terrifying. Flea bites can be itchy and make you, your pets and other family members incredibly uncomfortable.
Also, because of their small size, once they’re in your space, fleas can seem almost impossible to get rid of.
While there are DIY flea products available, these often don’t work to remove the full infestation and might cause issues for your pets and children.
If you don’t pay particular attention to areas such as crevices and carpets, then you might find that flea eggs could lie dormant and then hatch, leading to a reoccurrence of your flea problem.
