Pest control specialist fleas
The cat fleaCat flea) is responsible for more than 95 % of residential infestations in Quebec, even in homes without pets. Fleas can be brought in by pets (cats, dogs), urban wildlife (squirrels, raccoons under the balcony), or by humans from outside.
The life cycle is complex: egg → larva → cocoon (insecticide-resistant) → adult. Improper treatment causes cocoons to hatch several weeks later. This is why a multi-visit protocol with adulticide AND growth regulator (IGR) is mandatory.
✅ Adulticide + IGR Treatment – ✅ Multi-visit Plan – ✅ Pet Friendly
Why are fleas so difficult to eliminate
The flea life cycle lasts from 2 weeks to 12 months depending on conditions, and 95 % of the population is invisible (eggs, larvae, hidden pupae). You treat the visible adults, and 2 weeks later, a new wave emerges from the cocoons.
Our professional approach:
1. Full inspection animal sleeping areas, rugs, baseboard cracks, under furniture.
2. Adulticide Fast-acting to eliminate all adult fleas in 24 hours.
3. Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) which prevents eggs and larvae from reaching adulthood. Effect 6 to 12 months.
4. Follow-up visit at 2-3 weeks to process the cocoons hatched in the meantime.
Insecticide gel treatment
Our treatment combines a fast-acting adulticide (eliminates visible fleas in 24-48 hours) and an IGR growth regulator (blocks larval development for 6-12 months). Pet-safe after drying.
Preventive inspection and sealing
Our technicians inspect cracks, entry points, wet areas and nesting sites. Where possible, we recommend sealing access points to greatly reduce the risk of reinfestation.
Targeted spraying and spot treatment
We apply professional products approved by Health Canada to strategic areas such as baseboards, cracks, garages, foundations, windowsills and other points of activity. Treatment is targeted to maximize effectiveness while limiting unnecessary exposure.
Long-lasting professional baits
Our Health Canada-approved products are used in residences with or without pets. Mandatory coordination with veterinary treatment of animals is required to prevent immediate reinfestation.

- application of IGR (methoprene or pyriproxyfen) which blocks the cycle 6-12 months ;
- specific recommendations for the veterinary treatment of animals ;
- Tips on washing carpets, sheets, and blankets at 60°C ;
- Intensive aspiration recommended for 2 weeks (discard bag immediately); ;
- Follow-up visit at 2-3 weeks.

Very difficult. Commercial sprays only target adult fleas (5 % of the population). eggs, larvae, and resistant pupae represent 95 % of the problem and continue to hatch for months. Professional adulticide + IGR treatment breaks the 6-12 month cycle.
YES, mandatorily. Without veterinary treatment for pets (Frontline, Advantage, NexGard, Bravecto), infestations return in 1-2 weeks even after perfect home treatment. Our service includes a home + pet coordination protocol.
Visible activity (jumping fleas) decreases in 24 to 48 hours after adulticide treatment. Complete elimination takes 4 to 8 weeks because the resilient cocoons hatch gradually. Follow-up visit at 2-3 weeks to treat new adults.
Several possible sources: urban wildlife (squirrels, raccoons under the balcony or in the attic), guest animals, brought in by humans from outside (park, damp basement), or previous dwelling (dormant cocoons for up to 12 months). Our inspection identifies the source.
Normally benign (itching, red patches) but can transmit Bartonella henselae (cat-scratch disease), can cause secondary infections from scratching, or trigger severe allergies in some people. In animals, they cause allergic dermatitis (FAD).
