Effective flea control: for a good night's sleep
Fleas are a small and annoying pest that can infest pets and homes. In most cases, you will suffer from fleas because your pet (such as a dog or cat) has been in contact with another animal that has fleas. The flea can jump up to 50 to 80 cm and easily repeat this several times. If you don’t find out in time that your pet has fleas, you can have an infestation in your home in no time. Unfortunately, fleas reproduce very quickly. One female flea can produce up to 25,000 offspring within a month.

Tim came to me to fight bedbugs. He is so kind and very knowledgeable. He really reassured me and explained everything well. I’m sure my home is in good hands! Hopefully I won’t have to use him again 😉 but I can only recommend him or the pest control company Van der Velden.

Great service and workmanship by Tim.
I could never have controlled the infestation on my own.
He has honor in his work and does not rest until the last mouse is gone.
He even helped me vacuum under the kitchen counter because I couldn’t do it myself.
Very satisfied

Fleas in the house?
Do you have fleas in your home?
Above all, stay calm, fleas are much less dangerous compared to the past.
Around the Middle Ages, the flea was still a regular cause of the bubonic plague.
Fortunately, that is different these days.
Although the flea can still be a carrier of various parasites, such as the tapeworm and various types of bacteria, fleas usually only cause a nuisance.
However, fleas in the house do give an unhygienic feeling and most people want to get rid of that quickly.
You want a professional to come by as soon as possible to combat the flea infestation.
How do I find out if I have fleas?
Is there one flea present?
Then more will follow and soon a real plague will occur.
Small, jumping creatures that cause itching and misery.
Below are several symptoms associated with a flea infestation.
- You see fleas – small reddish-brown bugs, that’s the best way to describe fleas.
They are lightning-fast little insects that feast on the blood of animals and humans. - Pets – a nasty side effect of keeping pets is fleas.
Especially the well-known cat flea and the dog flea are regularly found in households.
One sign that your pet is suffering from these pests is that it often scratches itself.
With this signal, we recommend that you check your dog or cat’s skin carefully for small bugs. - Bumps – a sign that you’ve been bitten by a flea are small red bumps in unexplained locations on the skin.
Often, thin layers of skin such as the feet, backs of the knees and scalp are victims of the bite of this insect. - Itching – when a flea bites and has sucked your blood, it leaves a little bit of venom behind.
This poison causes itching and red bumps.
Do you recognize any of the above signs or do you suffer from red bumps or itching?
Then you are most likely dealing with a flea infestation and it is best to call in a professional pest control professional to control the fleas.
Efficient and sustainable flea control in the home
The strength of our specialists is their many years of experience in flea control.
When you suffer from a flea infestation, you naturally want to fight these fleas.
It can also happen that the fleas are already in your bed, because your pet sleeps on the bed.
Then it’s a matter of immediately proceeding to flea control in bed.
We don’t shy away from flea infestation!
After a thorough inspection and the application of nature-friendly and effective pesticides, in most cases you will no longer be bothered by fleas within the foreseeable future.
Our treatment ensures that both the fleas and the eggs are controlled.
This way, you won’t be bothered by a new flea infestation.
In addition, our experts provide tips that contribute to the prevention of a new pest.
You could also try to fight the flea yourself first with the tips below.”
7 tips on how to get rid of fleas yourself
In general, getting rid of fleas is the best choice. Would you like to fight fleas yourself first? Read our 7 self-control tips below:
1. Buy special flea spray
When you get started yourself, you can buy special flea spray.
There are three types:
- An anti-flea spray for pets.
- An anti-flea spray for bedding and sofas etc.
- An anti-flea spray for walls and cracks.
Think about which ones you need ahead of time.
And important to know: they are chemical agents.
Therefore, make sure there is good ventilation in your home.
2. Get rid of fleas on your pet
If you find out that your dog or cat is suffering from fleas, act as soon as possible so that the pests don’t have a chance to get into your bed or furniture.
Buy a special flea comb and a flea collar.
In addition, you can bathe your pet with a special anti-flea shampoo, spray or tablets.
3. Vacuum and mop thoroughly (several times)
A flea lays eggs everywhere that can lie in seams and cracks of your house.
Vacuum the floor and baseboards (several times) and throw away the vacuum cleaner bag immediately.
Then mop the floor with hot water (several times) to make sure you’ve done everything.
4. Drowning fleas
If you have combed your pet’s fleas with a flea comb, drown them in, for example, a pan of water or a deep plate.
Add a little washing-up liquid to make sure the fleas can’t escape.
5. Fleas in bed?
Wash contaminated bedding at 60 degrees
Do you have fleas in bed or other textiles, such as carpets, curtains or rugs?
At least wash it at 60 degrees.
Then you can be sure that you will kill the fleas.
The advantage of washing is that you not only kill the adult fleas, but also eggs, pupae and larvae.
Do you have textiles that are not suitable for the washing machine?
Then beat it out very well and treat it with a spray.
6. Use vinegar to repel fleas
A flea can’t stand the smell of vinegar.
We recommend mixing 0.5 liters of vinegar with 0.5 liters of water.
Put this stuff in a spray can or mop the floor with it.
Important to know: the smell of vinegar will not kill the fleas, but only scare them away.
7. Contact a pest control professional
When you have tried the above tips, but still do not succeed in getting rid of the flea and you therefore want to switch to stubborn, professional control?
Contact us, and you can be sure that you will be rid of the flea infestation in no time.
Flea removal by your local pest control professional
Flea removal must be done thoroughly.
The entire home or business premises need to be tackled and the costs of this are related to the size of the space.
When you decide to work with us, you will be asked to temporarily leave the house to let the pest control company do its job.
Unfortunately, flea removal does not happen by itself, and it requires effective treatment.
How much does flea control cost?
The cost of flea control depends on the extent of the infestation.
After you call us, in most cases we will be at your door within 24 hours to inspect the infestation and quickly proceed to the control of fleas.
In any case, the costs of flea control are always lower than the costs that a real flea infestation can ultimately bring.
In most cases, we can make an accurate estimate of the costs in advance.
This way you immediately know where you stand.
We are committed to professional flea control on a daily basis, in Amsterdam, Amstelveen, Almere, Haarlem, IJmuiden, Hoofddorp, Uithoorn, Utrecht, ‘t Gooi, Hilversum, Baarn, Soest, Woerden, Alphen aan den Rijn, Leiden, Gouda, The Hague, Zoetermeer, Delft and the surrounding area.
