Spotting a flea infestation in Boucherville

A flea is two to three millimetres long, dark brown, and jumps up to twenty times its own length. You rarely see one. The indirect signs are what give the infestation away.

Bites in clusters of two or three on ankles, calves and legs, with a red dot in the middle
A dog or cat scratching, biting at the base of the tail and losing hair
Tiny black specks in the fur or bedding that turn red on a damp paper towel; that is flea dirt
Dark dots that jump when you lift a rug, a carpet or a couch cushion
Itching that flares up in the evening and after a few days away

What we actually see in Boucherville

Boucherville · a mix of single family homes, semi detached houses and recent condos

In Boucherville, along the river by the Boucherville Islands, mixing residential and industrial zones. In condos and semi detached homes, fleas travel through party walls and service chases. We treat your unit, but you need to know whether the neighbour has a pet, otherwise the problem comes back the same way a few weeks later.

We cover every part of Boucherville, including Vieux-Boucherville, secteur des Îles, Harmonie and parc industriel, in houses and apartments alike.

Our flea treatment in Boucherville

STEP 1Finding the hot spotsSleeping areas, under furniture, carpet edges, floor gaps and the basement. Fleas concentrate where the animal rests, not in the middle of rooms.

STEP 2What you do firstFull vacuuming, bag thrown outside, textiles washed hot. The vibration of the vacuum wakes the cocoons and leaves them exposed to the product.

STEP 3Targeted applicationFloors, baseboards and textiles treated with Health Canada-approved products, plus the growth regulator that shuts reproduction down.

STEP 4The visit that settles itThe second pass kills the fleas that hatched in between. It is the difference between relief and elimination, and it is included.

Why store-bought treatments fall short

Treating the pet alone does not solve it. The animal re-infests itself within hours by walking on its own carpets. In Boucherville, we treat the home while your vet treats the pet. Both together is what makes it last. Without that, the bites return after about ten days.

Inspection before treatment, we identify the insect instead of spraying blind
Health Canada-approved products applied exactly where they are needed
A protocol built around the full cycle, from cocoon to adult flea
Unmarked truck and discreet service, nobody needs to know
Written guarantee with the follow-up visit included in the price

The flea life cycle, plainly

Understanding the cycle explains why an infestation seems to come back. One female lays up to fifty eggs a day. Those eggs fall off the animal and spread everywhere it walks.

A female lays up to fifty eggs a day, starting with her first blood meal
The eggs do not stick to the animal, they drop everywhere it walks and sleeps
Larvae avoid light and work down to the base of carpets, out of a vacuum's reach
The cocoon can sit dormant for months and shrugs off insecticide
The full cycle takes two to three weeks in a heated home, hence the second visit

FAQ · fleas in Boucherville

How much does flea treatment cost in Boucherville?

In Boucherville, treatment starts around $99. The price depends on the square footage, the number of rooms and how long the infestation has been going. The second visit is included and the price is confirmed before we start.

How fast can an exterminator get to Boucherville?

Often within 24 hours, 7 days a week. We cover every part of Boucherville, including Vieux-Boucherville, secteur des Îles, Harmonie and parc industriel, in houses and apartments alike. We give you a precise window on the phone and call before heading out.

How long before the bites stop?

Adult fleas die within the first hours. You may still see a few for one to two weeks while the last cocoons open and the residual product kills them. The second visit finishes the job.

Do I need to treat my dog or cat at the same time?

Yes. We treat the home, your vet treats the animal. If only one of the two is done, the fleas are back within days. We coordinate both with you.

I have fleas but no pet, is that possible?

Very often, yes. Fleas arrive with a former tenant who had a pet, through a squirrel or raccoon in the attic, from a neighbouring unit or on clothing. The treatment is the same.

Is the treatment safe in Boucherville for children and pets?

Yes, with Health Canada-approved products applied where they are needed. We tell you how long to stay out, usually a few hours, and what to do about aquariums.
