None of these three feel like an emergency the way a rat or a wasp nest does, which is exactly why they often get left until the trail of ants across the kitchen counter, the flea bites nobody can explain, or the holes in a jumper have been going on for weeks longer than they needed to.
Crittorz treats ant, flea, and moth problems across every London borough and the South East, straightforward jobs, usually sorted in one or two visits.
Straightforward jobs typically start around £45+VAT.
A trail of ants heading to a specific spot in the kitchen usually means a nest nearby, often outside, sometimes within cavity walls. Treatment targets the nest and the trail, not just the ants currently visible, since spraying what's on the counter does nothing to the colony behind it.
Almost always linked to pets, though not exclusively, fleas can be picked up from previous occupants, secondhand furniture, or a garden with wildlife passing through. Treatment usually needs to cover carpets, soft furnishings, and pet bedding together, not just one room, since flea eggs and larvae spread further than adult fleas are usually seen.
Carpet and clothes moths cause damage well before most people notice an actual moth, holes in wool jumpers or patches in carpet are usually the first sign. Treatment covers affected areas along with advice on storage changes, since moths favour undisturbed fabric, wardrobes and under furniture especially.
Inspection to identify the specific pest and likely source
Targeted treatment for ants, fleas, or moths as appropriate to the property
Advice on preventing recurrence, storage, cleaning, pet treatment where relevant
Follow-up visit if activity continues after initial treatment
Usually more than just the sighting spot, flea eggs and larvae spread into carpets and soft furnishings beyond where adults are noticed, so treatment typically covers a wider area.
Not on its own. The visible ants are a small fraction of the colony, treatment needs to reach the nest itself for it to actually resolve.
Small holes in wool or natural fibres, and small silken cases or webbing in affected areas, are the usual giveaway. We can confirm on inspection if you're not sure.
Yes, we use products suitable for domestic properties with pets, though we'll advise on any specific precautions for your situation, particularly for flea treatment.
Ants and fleas usually show a clear reduction within a few days. Moth treatment can take slightly longer since it often includes addressing eggs and larvae, not just visible adults.
