Spotting a flea infestation in Le Sud-Ouest

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 Le Sud-Ouest

Le Sud-Ouest · units rented furnished or turned over quickly, often on July 1st

In Le Sud-Ouest, former working-class neighbourhoods booming along the Lachine Canal. Many calls come from people who move in and get bitten on the ankles the very first night, with no pet of their own. The cocoons left behind by the previous occupant's dog or cat sit in the floor for weeks, then open all at once when someone starts walking through.

We cover every part of Le Sud-Ouest, including Saint-Henri, Pointe-Saint-Charles, Griffintown and Ville-Émard, in houses and apartments alike.

Our flea treatment in Le Sud-Ouest

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

Flea shampoo cleans the animal for the day, it does nothing about the reservoir sitting in your floor. In Le Sud-Ouest, as long as that reservoir is there, every trip outside reloads the infestation. An exterminator treats the source, the sleeping areas and the travel routes, not just what jumps.

Written guarantee, we come back if there is still activity

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.

5% of the population is visible, the adult fleas on the animal
50% are eggs dropped in carpets, floor gaps and fabrics
35% are larvae feeding on debris deep in the fibres
10% are cocoons, the toughest stage, able to wait for months
Heat, humidity and winter heating speed up hatching; an infestation does not clear on its own

FAQ · fleas in Le Sud-Ouest

How much does flea treatment cost in Le Sud-Ouest?

In Le Sud-Ouest, 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 Le Sud-Ouest?

Often within 24 hours, 7 days a week. We cover every part of Le Sud-Ouest, including Saint-Henri, Pointe-Saint-Charles, Griffintown and Ville-Émard, 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 Le Sud-Ouest 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.
