Why they keep coming back in Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah

Flats are small with crowded furnishings and homes packed tightly together. Fleas spread between flats easily through openings and joints. The method is set out in full on what Flea control involves.

The first reason

Old apartment blocks and deep cracks

Old buildings have deep cracks in walls and foundations. Fleas shelter in these deep openings and remain protected from surface pesticide application.

The second reason

High density and shared building services

Flats in one building share pipes and passages. Fleas spread between flats easily through cracks and openings in the closely packed structure.

The third reason

Old furniture and crowding in small flats

Small flats hold crowded old furnishings and accumulated items. Fleas inhabit pillows, blankets and bedding piled in corners.

Before treatment

The resting places map the infestation

The very old popular quarter has dense apartment blocks on narrow streets. Population density is very high and drainage services are insufficient.

The base of the carpet

Carpet base in the small flat is saturated with moisture from old walls and foundations. Fleas colonise the fibres.

Where the animal sleeps

A pet or frequent visitors from the street bring fleas. Its sleeping place becomes the infestation centre.

Flea dirt

Flea dirt collects in tight gaps between old flooring and damp walls.

Furniture edges and upholstery

Edges of old furniture against damp walls provide flea shelter in the continuous moisture.

Joints in a hard floor

Joints in old flooring run deep and contaminated. Fleas travel through them between flats easily.

Damp shade outdoors

Damp shade in the shared passage and closed stairwell traps moisture and 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.

The character of Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah

Apartment district: residential blocks, repeated floors and shared entrances

Old apartment districts have very high density and shared pipes connecting many units. Walls are damp and foundations very old. Fleas spread easily between tightly packed adjoining flats. Treatment requires coordination with connected neighbouring units.

Questions about this district

Our flat is in a large building block. How many units need treating with us?

If pipes and joints are shared, adjacent flats and those above and below yours may need treatment. Consult before starting.

Our flat lets to many workers bringing personal belongings. Is this a flea source?

Yes. Furniture and personal items from different homes may carry fleas. Check new furniture carefully before it enters.

Our flat sits above a shop on the street. Does the shop need treating too?

Yes. If the shop has fleas they climb to the flat through cracks and pipes. Both shop and flat must be treated together.

One month after treatment fleas returned. Do they come from the neighbouring flat?

Very possible. The neighbour may be untreated or incompletely treated. Shared pipes allow fleas to re-enter.

The district is very old and walls are damp. Does this worsen fleas?

Yes. High moisture and old walls create ideal conditions for fleas and cocoons. Treatment may need repeating more often.

Al Hindawiyah is a neighbouring district with many fleas. Do they reach us from there?

Nearby districts may send fleas via the street and stray animals. Animals from Al Hindawiyah may easily enter Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah.

How much does flea control in Al Nazlah Al Sharqiyah 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 Nazlah Al Sharqiyah.
