Fleas in London are small, wingless insects that feed on the blood of animals and humans. Flea pest control is necessary in so many areas and cases.
The cat flea causes the most problems for home and business owners. If an animal is not around or there are a lot of fleas, they resort to biting humans, usually around the ankles and legs.
