Flea Extermination

Your cat won't stop scratching. You notice tiny reddish insects jumping. Then the bites appear — on your ankles, your calves. Even after treating the pet, they keep coming back.

That's the flea trap: 95% of the infestation isn't on your pet — it's in your carpets, your cushions, your floor cracks. Treating just the dog or cat means ignoring the real problem.

Why fleas persist despite your efforts

Adult fleas lay up to 50 eggs per day. Those eggs fall into carpets, furniture and cracks. The larvae spin cocoons that can stay dormant for months — resistant to insecticides. Then they hatch, triggered by vibrations and body heat. That's why you need to treat the entire home, not just the pet.

Our coordinated approach

  1. Inspection

    Identifying the most concentrated infestation zones (where the pet sleeps, carpets, upholstered furniture).

  2. Residential treatment

    Health Canada-approved products applied throughout the home: carpets, cracks, baseboards, furniture, pet resting areas. The treatment targets adults, larvae and includes a growth regulator to break the cycle.

  3. Veterinary coordination

    We recommend treating your pet simultaneously with products prescribed by your vet. Without this coordination, the infestation restarts.

  4. Follow-up

    Dormant cocoons hatch over 2–4 weeks. Follow-up visits treat new emergences and confirm elimination.

Frequently asked questions

  • I treated my cat but the fleas keep coming back. Why?

    Because fleas don't just live on the animal. The eggs and cocoons are in your environment — carpets, furniture, cracks. You need to treat the home at the same time as the pet.

  • How long does treatment take?

    The first treatment eliminates adults and larvae. Dormant cocoons hatch over 2–4 weeks. A follow-up is often needed to treat new emergences. Full results in 3–4 weeks.

  • Can fleas survive without a pet?

    Yes. Adult fleas need a host, but cocoons can stay dormant for months in an empty home. That's why you sometimes see a flea explosion in a seemingly clean apartment after a move.

  • Are my children at risk?

    Fleas bite humans (mainly ankles and calves). The bites itch but are generally not dangerous. Treatment is safe once re-entry times are observed.
