Fleas came back after a drugstore product or a bug bomb? That is expected. In Dorval, along Lake Saint-Louis, near the airport and industrial zones, 95 % of the fleas in a home are not adults but eggs, larvae and cocoons buried in the fibres. Axion breaks the full cycle and comes back to check. From $99, written guarantee.
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.
The flea cocoon resists insecticide for weeks. It waits for the vibration and warmth of someone walking by before it opens. That is why in Dorval an empty home, after a vacation or a move, can release hundreds of fleas at once. Our two visit protocol is built for exactly that.
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.
In Dorval, 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.
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 closes the file.
