Expert Flea Pest Control to Remove Your Fleas, Fast!
Pest ID are experts in the removal of flea infestations from homes and businesses. Acting quickly and following our instruction is key to successful and quick destruction of flea colonies.
Fleas are a common and frustrating pest in UK homes, particularly for households with pets. These tiny insects feed on blood and can quickly spread throughout a property, causing discomfort for both humans and animals.
Fleas don’t just stay on pets. They can infest:
- Carpets and rugs
- Sofas and soft furnishings
- Pet bedding (cat fleas are the most common type)
- Cracks in flooring and skirting boards
A single flea infestation can escalate rapidly, as fleas reproduce quickly and their eggs can remain dormant before hatching later. Not only are they are a skin irritant, they can cause allergic reactions in people and pets.
DIY treatments often fail to fully resolve the issue, as they do not eliminate eggs and larvae hidden deep within carpets and furnishings. Professional treatment is highly recommended for complete eradication.
Our experienced technicians provide:
- Fast, effective flea control
- Safe treatments for homes with pets and families
- Coverage across Essex and East London, including Chelmsford, Southend, and Basildon

Would highly recommend this company, Ian was courteous, polite and explained every aspect of the job to pigeon proofing our solar panels, he even fixed a loose roof tile he noticed. Great service!Posted on Manila Apartments OPCTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have a portfolio of property across London and have used Pest ID for a number of years to tackle rats, mice, wasps, ants, etc. They are very professional, responsive, helpful, and always get the job done. We would thoroughly recommend them to anyone needing Pest treatment.Posted on Anna BowdlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Pest ID re possible bedbugs (unfounded as it turned out!) and spoke with Ian (technician) and Jo (office manager), both of whom were very calming and patient. They very clearly explained their procedures with a follow up email and expertly answered my questions. I felt greatly relieved and knew I was in safe hands. Terry came the next day and, after investigating, provided the reassurance I needed to confirm no bedbugs! He was very knowledgeable and kind, offering advice and made me feel very comfortable. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this exceptional company with such professional, caring and compassionate people.Posted on Gurdit Singh SuallyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A fantastic service. 5 stars just aren't enough. Spoke to the lovely Jo A, and I was just blown away by the customer service. Best way to describe this company is honest trustworthy and actually putting the customer first. They worked to not only solve my issue, but using the best method for me, they didn't push the most expensive service but also didn't just offer a cheap option that wouldn't work. Jo took the time to explain everything. She's a real credit to the team. I really cannot recommend Pest ID enough. If youre looking for an honest tradepersons who give a superior service stop searching. Thanks Jo!Posted on Paul BondTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
