Fleas in the carpet? Sprayed away.

Signs of fleas, bed bugs and silverfish

All three hide in carpets, beds and cupboards, so you usually notice the bites or the damage before you see them.

• Bites around the ankles

  Small itchy bites around the ankles, and pets scratching more than usual.

• Bites after a night in bed

  Itchy bites in a line or a cluster, and tiny dark spots along the mattress seams.

• Holes in clothes and paper

  Small holes in clothes, books and paper in dark, damp cupboards.

• Where they hide

  Carpets, pet beds, mattresses, bed frames, wardrobes and bookshelves.
