Targeted, not broadcast

Product goes into cracks and runways, never sprayed across open surfaces.
Told before we start

What we will use, where it goes, and what to cover or move before we arrive.
A follow-up visit

We return after the first treatment, because what survives it does not show on the day.
Homes and businesses

Apartments and villas, and kitchens and stores that need a record of each visit.

Why they keep coming back in Al Farouq

Flats and villas sit above and beside warehouses and industrial plots. Fleas enter from warehouses and industrial fringes. The method is set out in full on what Flea control involves.

The first reason

Industrial fringes and warehouses

The district borders industrial areas and warehouses holding animals and old goods carrying fleas. Fleas travel from these zones into homes.

The second reason

Haramain Road and main thoroughfares

Haramain Road and the Al Falah Road carry continuous traffic, lorries and vehicles. Fleas spread from pedestrians and animals on the roads.

The third reason

Vacant plots and incomplete construction

The district holds vacant plots and incomplete building. Stray animals inhabit these areas and carry fleas.

The character of Al Farouq

Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them

Mixed districts have shops, warehouses and industrial fringes as flea sources. Multiple main roads bring animals and goods carrying fleas. Treatment requires coordination with shops, warehouses and neighbouring homes.

Before treatment

The resting places map the infestation

The mixed district blends residence, commerce and industry. The Haramain Road and Al Falah Road cross it with continuous traffic and animals entering from industrial fringes.

The base of the carpet

Carpet base in a flat above a shop may stay damp from pipes. Fleas colonise the fibres.

Where the animal sleeps

A pet or visits from the main road bring fleas. Its sleeping place becomes the infestation centre.

Flea dirt

Flea dirt appears where dust and moisture collect between floors and cracks.

Furniture edges and upholstery

Furniture edges near shops and warehouses may carry fleas from goods.

Joints in a hard floor

Flooring joints may be entry points from a shop or warehouse below the house.

Damp shade outdoors

Damp shade outside beside vacant plots and main roads attracts fleas.

How we work

1
Inspect and confirm

We confirm it is fleas rather than another biting insect, and fix the animal's sleeping points, its routes and the shaded ground outside. Where there is no animal in the house, we look for the host they came from.
2
Treat the floors and soft furnishings

A residual with an insect growth regulator, worked into the carpet base, the floor and wall junction and the edges under furniture. The regulator stops a larva becoming an adult, which is what breaks the cycle.
3
The host and the shade outside

We treat the shaded ground and the outdoor lying spots, and we agree with you that the animal's veterinary treatment happens on the same day, because any host left out of the job re-seeds the floor.
4
Vacuuming, then the follow-up visit

Repeated vacuuming vibrates the floor and draws the pupae out onto a treated surface. We come back about two weeks later to take the emerged generation before it lays.

What flea control includes

Confirmation before anything is applied

Telling a flea bite from the alternatives, and fixing the resting places and the centre of the infestation.
Carpet base and floor line treatment

A residual and a growth regulator worked down into the pile and under furniture edges, not laid across the visible surface.
Shade and damp outdoors

The shaded patches by entrances and around drains and taps, the only ground outside where larvae survive.
The source when there is no pet

Stray cats sheltering under an outside stair, or rodents in the voids, each handled on a different footing.
The vacuum schedule and aftercare

When to vacuum, how to empty the machine, and why the carpet is not steam cleaned afterwards. Ventilation time we give you on the call, because it changes with the product and the space.
A follow-up timed to emergence

A date about two weeks on, timed to the pupae leaving the cocoons, and re-treatment of any room where fresh bites are still starting.

Questions about this district

Our flat sits above a shop and beside a warehouse. Must we treat both?

Yes. Both shop and warehouse may carry fleas. Treatment requires coordination between the shop, warehouse and flat together.

Haramain Road and Old Makkah Road next door have heavy traffic. Does this worsen fleas?

Yes. Main roads carry continuous traffic and animals carrying goods and fleas. Fleas spread from the roads to neighbouring homes.

Vacant plots beside the house may shelter animals. Do they worsen fleas?

Yes. Vacant plots shelter animals, rodents and fleas. Treatment may need repeating more frequently.

Warehouses next door carry fleas. Will they spread to us directly?

Yes. Warehouses carry fleas on goods and animals. Spread to neighbouring homes is very easy.

After one month fleas came back from neighbouring homes. How do we stop it?

Neighbouring homes may be untreated. Speak to neighbours about treating together. A weak fence may need repair.

The district is full of shops and warehouses. Do I need more frequent treatment than usual?

Yes. Mixed districts have many flea sources. Treatment may need repeating more often with continuous monitoring.

How much does flea control in Al Farouq cost?

It is set after the inspection, because the price follows the type of infestation, the size of the space, how far it has spread and the number of visits it needs. Send a photo and a description on WhatsApp and we will give you an estimate before we reach Al Farouq.
