Spotting a flea infestation in Outremont

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

Our flea treatment in Outremont

STEP 1InspectionWe confirm it really is fleas and locate the hot spots, carpets, hardwood gaps, under furniture, pet bedding and the basement.

STEP 2PreparationYou vacuum thoroughly and wash textiles hot. We hand you the exact checklist, it makes a real difference to the result.

STEP 3Full treatmentHealth Canada approved residual product on floors, baseboards and textiles, combined with a growth regulator that sterilises eggs and larvae.

STEP 4Second visitTen to fourteen days later we return to kill the fleas that emerged from their cocoons. That visit is what breaks the cycle for good, and it is included.

Why store bought treatments fall short

An over the counter bug bomb only kills the adult fleas jumping at that moment. The eggs and cocoons deep in the carpet hatch over the following days and it all starts again. In Outremont, we apply an approved residual product plus an insect growth regulator that stops larvae from reaching adulthood, then we come back for the late hatch.

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 into 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 Outremont

How much does flea treatment cost in Outremont?

In Outremont, 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 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 closes the file.

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 Outremont 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.

How fast can you come in Outremont?

Fast. We cover every part of Outremont, including Outremont and Mont-Royal, in houses and apartments alike. Often within 24h, 7 days a week.
