Spotting a flea infestation in Varennes

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 Varennes

Varennes · a mix of single family homes, semi detached houses and recent condos

In Varennes, along the St. Lawrence River, residential plus a large industrial park. In condos and semi detached homes, fleas travel through party walls and service chases. We treat your unit, but you need to know whether the neighbour has a pet, otherwise the problem comes back the same way a few weeks later.

We cover every part of Varennes, including Vieux-Varennes, de la Marquise and secteur industriel, in houses and apartments alike.

Our flea treatment in Varennes

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

Vacuuming helps a great deal, but never on its own. In Varennes, a good vacuum lifts some of the eggs and wakes the cocoons, which is useful right before a treatment, but leaves the larvae lodged at the base of the carpet. That is why we ask you to vacuum before we arrive, not instead of the treatment.

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.

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 Varennes

How much does flea treatment cost in Varennes?

In Varennes, 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 Varennes?

Often within 24 hours, 7 days a week. We cover every part of Varennes, including Vieux-Varennes, de la Marquise and secteur industriel, 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 Varennes 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.
