Flea control in Saint-Laurent

Fleas came back after a drugstore product or a bug bomb? That is expected. In Saint-Laurent, a large residential and industrial area in the north-west of the island, 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.

Spotting a flea infestation in Saint-Laurent

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.

Itching low on the legs that starts when you walk barefoot in one particular room
Pepper-like black specks in the pet bed, on the couch or at the foot of the bed
A restless animal that keeps changing sleeping spots and licks its belly and hindquarters constantly
Minute brown insects visible for a second on a light floor or a pale blanket
Small scabs and red patches on the animal's skin, often along the back

What we actually see in Saint-Laurent

Saint-Laurent · half sunken basements, shared laundry rooms and storage lockers

In Saint-Laurent, a large residential and industrial area in the north-west of the island. These spaces stay humid and mild all year, which speeds the flea cycle up considerably. That is often where the infestation survives while the upper floors are being treated, and why an exterminator has to include them rather than stopping at the living areas.

We cover every part of Saint-Laurent, including Bois-Franc, Vieux-Saint-Laurent and Norgate, in houses and apartments alike.

Our flea treatment in Saint-Laurent

STEP 1On-site diagnosisThe technician identifies the insect, traces the source and gauges how old the infestation is. You know what you are dealing with before any product comes out.

STEP 2Preparation planWe leave you a clear checklist, vacuuming, hot washing, clearing the baseboards. That step alone removes a good share of the eggs.

STEP 3Two-product actionA residual adulticide kills what is alive, a growth regulator stops the next generation from existing. Without that second product, the infestation restarts.

STEP 4Check and guaranteeWe return ten to fourteen days later for the late hatch, under written guarantee. If there is still activity, we come back at no charge.

Why store-bought treatments fall short

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 Saint-Laurent 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.

An OPDQ-certified exterminator shows up, not an improvised subcontractor
Two complementary products, one for the adults, one for the eggs and larvae
Sleeping areas, baseboards and basement treated, not just the living rooms
Clear re-entry instructions for the family, the pets and the aquariums
Price confirmed before the job, second visit and written guarantee included

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 Saint-Laurent

How much does flea treatment cost in Saint-Laurent?

In Saint-Laurent, 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 Saint-Laurent?

Often within 24 hours, 7 days a week. We cover every part of Saint-Laurent, including Bois-Franc, Vieux-Saint-Laurent and Norgate, 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 Saint-Laurent 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.
