Report a problem with Fleas

If you have a problem with fleas and would like help, please contact the Environment Division on the details below to make an appointment for a Pest Control Officer to contact you:-

What are they?

They are a biting insect normally infesting cats and dogs that have not been treated with an anti flea treatment.

What should I look for?

Look for the obvious bites on you or your children mainly on the arms and legs. Pets scratching more than usual. Watch out to see if you can see them crawling or jumping around.

Will they harm me?

Yes, fleas bite and will quite happily use human blood to live on; however they need the host’s blood to breed.

Do I need Professional help?

You should certainly ask the advice of a professional if you think you have a problem.
