Fleas are the most underestimated emergency in Quebec homes. A single female lays up to fifty eggs a day, and the infestation hides in your carpets far more than on your pet. Axion treats the entire home, adults, larvae and eggs, with a second visit included to break the cycle. OPDQ certified technicians, written guarantee, often within 24h, from $99.
An adult flea is two to three millimetres long, dark brown, flattened side to side, and it jumps up to thirty centimetres. You will rarely spot one. The surrounding signs are what matter.
This is the heart of the problem. What you see jumping is almost nothing. Eggs fall off the animal and spread everywhere it sleeps, walks and lies down. They sink deep into carpet fibres, hardwood gaps and under baseboards.
The cocoon is the real issue. It resists insecticide for weeks and waits for the vibration, warmth and carbon dioxide of someone walking by before it opens. That is why an empty home can release hundreds of starving fleas at once, and why a single treatment feels like a fix right up until everything restarts ten days later.
We are not selling one pass of product. We break a biological cycle, and that takes a method and two visits. Every job comes with a written guarantee.
These simple steps remove a large share of the eggs and larvae, and make the product far more effective. Plan for half a day.
The cat or dog brings fleas back from a walk or a contact. We treat the home while the vet treats the animal. Doing only one of the two guarantees the fleas are back within about ten days.
More common than people think. A former tenant had a dog, a squirrel or raccoon settled in the attic, or the fleas come from a neighbouring unit. With no animal host, they bite human legs.
A bug bomb kills the adults of the moment and leaves every cocoon intact. Worse, it sometimes scatters fleas into adjoining rooms. The rebound shows up one to two weeks later.
Fleas travel between units through floors and service chases. We treat your unit, document the job in writing for the landlord, and advise on the pathways.
The price depends on the square footage, the number of rooms to treat and how long the infestation has been running. It is confirmed before we start, with no surprise at the end.
Adults die within the first hours. It is normal to still see a few fleas for one to two weeks while the last cocoons open onto the residual product. The second visit, ten to fourteen days later, closes the file.
They bite humans but they do not live on us, our skin lacks the hair to shelter them. They hide in fabrics and floors and come up for a meal. That is exactly why treating the home is mandatory.
Very often through a former occupant who had a dog or cat, a squirrel or raccoon in the attic, a neighbouring unit, or simply on clothing and bags. The treatment is the same.
No. Outdoors the cold limits populations, but indoors the heating creates ideal conditions all year. An infestation in a heated home will not stop by itself.
Yes, with Health Canada approved products applied where they are needed. We give you a re entry delay, usually a few hours, plus instructions for aquariums and cages.
Almost never. Thorough vacuuming plus the residual treatment is enough in the vast majority of cases. We will tell you straight if an item is genuinely beyond saving.
The main risk is an allergic reaction to the bites and skin infections from scratching. Fleas can also pass tapeworm to pets, which is why the animal must be treated in parallel.
