Fleas in the home: where they come from and what to do
Bites around the ankles even though there's no dog or cat at home? Fleas can come from the basement or the neighbours, or be left behind by previous occupants.
Flea removalprice from a photoWhere fleas at home come from
The most common reasons fleas turn up at home.
A dog or cat brings fleas in from outside or from other animals.
In apartment buildings fleas often live in basements where stray cats or rodents spend time.
After moving in, fleas from the previous occupants' animals hatch from their cocoons.
Fleas can come over from a neighbour's flat or the stairwell.
Why they don't go away on their own
Fleas can wait a long time without food.
Inside a cocoon a flea can wait for weeks until it senses a person's footsteps.
The larvae live in floor cracks and carpets where you can't see them.
If the basement or the pet isn't treated, the fleas come back.

Can fleas live in the bed?
Adult fleas don't live on people, but larvae can be in the bed and pet beds if a pet sleeps there.
Is it enough to treat just the pet?
No. Most fleas live in the floor and carpets as larvae and cocoons.
Who treats the basement?
In an apartment building the building manager is responsible for the basement. We can treat it when they order it.
