What we actually see in Montréal-Nord

Montréal-Nord · units rented furnished or turned over quickly, often on July 1st

In Montréal-Nord, a dense area of apartment buildings in the north-east of the island. 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 Montréal-Nord, including Montréal-Nord and Saint-Vital, in houses and apartments alike.

Our flea treatment in Montréal-Nord

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 Montréal-Nord, 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.

OPDQ-certified technicians, Health Canada-approved products
Growth regulator that shuts down eggs and larvae, not just the adults
Second visit included to catch the late hatch
Safe for children and pets when you follow the re-entry interval we give you
Written guarantee, we come back if there is still activity

The flea life cycle, plainly

The adult flea is only the visible part of the problem. The rest of the population lives in your floor, at various stages, and that is what decides how long the infestation really lasts.

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 Montréal-Nord

How much does flea treatment cost in Montréal-Nord?

In Montréal-Nord, 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 Montréal-Nord?

Often within 24 hours, 7 days a week. We cover every part of Montréal-Nord, including Montréal-Nord and Saint-Vital, 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 Montréal-Nord 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.
