Fleas

Treatment required for the disinfestations of fleas normally consists of one visit for a spray treatment of carpets and soft furnishings throughout the premises.

On the day of the visit you and all animals should out of the premises during spraying and should stay out for approximately 2 hours after treatment. The charge per treatment is as follows:

Residential Properties - FREE
Business Minimum Charge - £41.12 inclusive of VAT
Business Charge hourly rate - £70.50 inclusive of VAT
Materials may be charged extra.

Residential / Commercial premises charge - £45.00

At our discretion we may treat more than one nest during the same visit dependent on their location

Beetles

The Council do not offer any treatment for the extermination of beetles, but do offer advice and an identification service (if possible), in association with Leicester City Museum Service.
