Effective Flea Treatment For Homes & Businesses From Copley Pest Solutions
Fleas are a common pest throughout the UK. These small, wingless insects feed on blood from humans and other animals. The most common flea species found in the UK is the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis), but dog fleas (Ctenocephalides canis) and bird fleas (Ceratophyllus gallinae) can also be found.
Like bed bugs, fleas are parasitic and can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions and distress. Thankfully, for homes and businesses in Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Leeds, West Yorkshire and beyond, Copley Pest Solutions offers expert flea control services.

Signs Of A Flea Infestation
Adult fleas grow to just 1–4 mm in length, meaning they can be incredibly difficult to see. Some common signs of a flea infestation include:
- Flea Bites: If you find red, itchy welts on your skin or your pet’s, then these could be flea bites.
- Flea Dirt: Flea droppings, also known as flea dirt, look like coffee grounds and are often found in your pet’s fur and bedding.
- Flea Eggs: Flea eggs are white to yellow oval-shaped specks that look like tiny grains of rice.
- Visible Fleas: If you see tiny black specks that wriggle, this is probably visible fleas. While bed bugs are round and flat, fleas are small, thin and with large back legs.
Fleas can cause significant issues for homes and business premises, so get fast flea treatment with Copley. Contact us to get discreet, effective flea control services.
The Importance Of Professional Flea Control
Fleas have a life cycle that starts with eggs, then progress to larva, then to a pupa, and finally into adult fleas. During the pupal stage, fleas can lie dormant for up to a year, and often hide deep inside pet bedding or soft furnishings, so they can be difficult to fully eradicate.
A flea problem can be deeply distressing, and flea bites can be painful and lead to itchy skin for you, your pets and family. As such, it’s important that you get rid fleas quickly with expert flea pest control from Copley. Our team can remove fleas at all flea life cycle stages, so book a site visit today.

Can You Get Fleas If You Don’t Have Pets?
