Flea Control in London: Stop the Itching
Cat and dog fleas are very common in UK. Despite their name, they are known to bite humans as well. When flea infestation isn’ done on time, they will multiply quickly and spotting or catching them is quite difficult because of their small size and quickness.
We offer discreet and affordable flea control for homes and commercial premises in London.
Tell-tale Signs of a Flea Infestation:
- If you have a pet, you will notice your pet scratching and biting themselves more often than usual.
- If you have a pet, check it for fleas, if you see any you should take measures.
- Wear white, or another light colour, socks while in the house and you will be able to see tiny black spots getting on them and disappearing. That would be the fleas jumping on and off you.
- You will feel them biting you. Some people say they don’t feel the bites if you are one of these people you will just feel the itchiness and see the small bite mark.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, that’s one of the most common places you would find fleas hiding in your home. Also pet beds, upholstered furniture, clothing, bedding, or in your garden.
They are susceptible to low temperatures but it will take some time (app. 10 days) of consistent low temperatures (below 2 degrees Celsius) to get the job done. Some die off others remains dormant until the temperatures rise.
Yes, they can. There are different species of fleas and a couple of them can feed on human blood. The Human flea (Pulex irritans) prefers to feed on humans and pigs. But the most common flea infestations in residential or commercial buildings are by Cat flea, Dog flea, or the Bird flea species. They are easily carried around by animals and can end up in your home.
Your own pet carrying the fleas is not the only way to get an infestation. Stray animals, such as cats, dogs, squirrels, pigeons, foxes, or others, can also be the cause, or you or family members who have been near an infested place or animal.
When no animal is around the flea, they will feed on you with pleasure. And when there are food and good living conditions their population will grow rapidly and you’ll have infestation not long afterwards.

I would have been nice if the world worked in a way that if you once get bed bugs and get rid of them they never reappear, but it doesn't. I've had to call for bed bug treatment two times in the last five years and have trusted Panther Pest Control both times. They get the job done without any hassle, plus the prices are budget-friendly. I hope I never have to use them again, but totally recommend them to people in need of adequate pest control treatment in the London area.

Rang the phone, got a quote and booked right away. In two days the flat was already treated for bed bugs and a second visit was scheduled. Quick and professional guys! Loved using Panther Pest Control and strongly recommend them. The price was ok, the exterminators were thorough and gave me some advice. Hopefully I won't have to use them again though.

We’ve never had this many squirrels in the yard before. Maybe one or two have been spotted the previous spring but this year the population has increased a lot! We are afraid of disease transmission and I had to call the exterminators. I’m glad no squirrel were killed. Instead, they were safely trapped and removed from the property.

When my husband and I returned from the holiday in Eastern Europe everything was fine until our bodies got covered in red itchy marks. There were bed bugs all over the apartment. Luckily, the company had a free slot for bed bug treatment on the very same day. We had to spend the night on the bed to lure the bed bugs out and they were fully exterminated by the pesticide.

The nest in the backyard turned out to be made by wasps not bees, which made us call professional pest technicians to deal with it. They carefully removed it and no one was hurt during or after the treatment. Very good job.
