Flea Control That Addresses More Than the Fleas You See

Seeing a flea doesn’t necessarily tell you where the problem started. Fleas can move between pets and the surrounding environment, and immature stages can remain in areas where pets spend time. Health Canada recommends addressing both the pet and the areas used by the pet when dealing with a flea problem.

That’s why our approach focuses on understanding the location, extent and conditions surrounding the flea activity before treatment. Get a free quote now!

I was definitely a bit wary at first because seeing 200 plus five star reviews is rare, but after dealing with them I totally get it. The owner is a great guy and you can tell he actually cares about the work. I had a few issues and they handled everything so professionally, plus the pricing was way better than the other quotes I got. Major props to Shoaib and the crew.

I had a very positive experience with Shoaib.  Prompt in replying, was able to fit me in quickly, knowledgeable, thorough, explained everything patiently, very pleasant to deal with, didn't press me to have anything more done than was needed, took pains to ensure that no gel would be placed within reach of my cat.  Five stars!

Know The Warning Signs

How Do You Know If You Have Fleas?

Fleas are small and can be difficult to spot. You may notice other signs before you actually see an adult flea.

Quick Check

Look for repeated activity around pets, bedding, carpets, furniture and other areas where animals spend time.

01

Fleas Jumping on Floors or Furniture

Adult fleas can be difficult to catch because they move quickly and can jump when disturbed.

02

Small Bites or Itchy Skin

Flea bites can cause itchy red spots, although skin reactions vary between people and bites alone cannot confirm a flea infestation.

03

Pets Scratching More Than Usual

Persistent scratching, biting or grooming can be a reason to check your pet for possible flea activity.

04

Flea Dirt

Small dark particles around pet bedding, carpets, furniture or areas where pets rest may be flea feces.

05

Fleas Around Pet Bedding

Pet beds, blankets, rugs and other resting areas can become important places to investigate for flea activity.

06

Fleas on Carpets & Upholstered Furniture

Flea activity may occur in carpets, rugs, couches and other areas frequently used by pets.

07

Fleas Keep Returning

If you've treated your pet or killed visible fleas but continue seeing new activity, flea stages may still be present in the environment.

08

Flea Activity Without an Obvious Pet Infestation

Fleas can sometimes enter properties through other animals or previously infested environments. An inspection can help determine what may be happening.

Where Can Fleas Be Found?

Fleas don’t necessarily stay on the animal. Areas where pets spend time can also become important parts of a flea infestation.

Common areas we investigate include:

  • Carpets and rugs
  • Pet beds
  • Couches and upholstered furniture
  • Bedrooms
  • Basements
  • Areas beneath furniture
  • Cracks and crevices
  • Along baseboards
  • Areas where pets regularly rest
  • Entry points and surrounding areas
  • Outdoor areas where pets spend time
Understand The Problem

Why Fleas Can Be Difficult to Get Rid Of

One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is focusing only on the adult fleas they can see. Fleas develop through multiple stages, and some can remain hidden in the environment.

01

Egg

Flea eggs can remain in the environment, including areas where pets spend time.

02

Larva

Larvae develop in protected areas and can be difficult to notice during an active infestation.

03

Pupa

Pupae can remain protected in the environment before emerging as adults.

04

Adult

Adults are the stage you're most likely to see — but they are only one part of the flea life cycle.

The Important Part

Killing the visible fleas doesn't necessarily mean the problem is finished.

Eggs, larvae and pupae can remain in the environment after adult fleas have been eliminated. This is one reason persistent flea problems can require more than one control measure.

Health Canada notes that some flea-control products may require repeat treatments because flea eggs, larvae and pupae can remain after adult fleas have been eliminated. You need:

  • Environmental treatment
  • Cleaning and vacuuming
  • Washing bedding
  • Treating pet resting areas
  • Appropriate pet treatment
  • Follow-up monitoring
Fleas keep coming back after treatment? The visible fleas may not be the whole problem. A professional assessment can help identify where activity is persisting.
Request Flea Control

When Should You Call a Flea Exterminator?

Professional flea control may be appropriate when:

  • Fleas keep returning after DIY treatment
  • You continue finding fleas throughout the home
  • Your pet has been treated but flea activity continues
  • Fleas are appearing in multiple rooms
  • You are finding flea dirt in carpets or furniture
  • The infestation has become difficult to manage
  • You’re unsure where the flea activity is coming from
  • You live in an apartment, condo or multi-unit property
  • You need professional treatment for a commercial property

If the flea problem persists after cleaning and other control measures, Health Canada recommends contacting a licensed pest-control operator. Request a free quote today!

Our Flea Control Process

How Our Flea Control Services Work

Flea control works best when the source of the activity and the flea life cycle are taken into account. Relief Pest Control follows a structured process to assess the problem, treat affected areas and help reduce recurring flea activity.

01
Assess

Inspect the Property

We begin with a thorough inspection of areas where flea activity may be concentrated, including carpets, rugs, furniture and pet resting areas.

  • Look for signs of flea activity
  • Check carpets and upholstered areas
  • Inspect pet bedding and resting areas
  • Assess the extent of the activity
02
Plan

Recommend the Right Approach

Based on the inspection, we determine the areas requiring treatment and consider the flea life cycle when recommending the appropriate approach.

  • Consider flea life stages
  • Identify priority treatment areas
  • Recommend preparation steps
  • Explain what to expect
03
Treat

Treat the Affected Areas

Our technicians apply the recommended flea-control treatment to the areas identified during the inspection, with the goal of breaking the cycle of ongoing activity.

  • Treat affected environmental areas
  • Target areas where fleas may develop
  • Follow product directions and safety requirements
  • Address the property conditions contributing to activity
04
Follow Through

Monitor & Prevent

Flea control doesn't necessarily end after the initial treatment. We provide guidance on cleaning, pet areas and other steps that can help reduce recurring activity.

  • Monitor for continued activity
  • Make adjustments when appropriate
  • Recommend follow-up when needed
  • Provide prevention and maintenance guidance

Do You Have to Treat Your Pet Too?

Yes — if you have pets, their flea treatment is an important part of controlling a household flea problem.

Professional pest control addresses the environment, but pets may also require treatment from a veterinarian. Health Canada recommends asking a veterinarian about the appropriate flea-control product for your pet, particularly because the correct product can depend on the animal, age, health, medications and other factors.

A complete flea-control strategy may therefore involve:

  1. Your pet
  2. Your home
  3. Your routine

Treating only one part of the problem can make it harder to achieve lasting control.

Frequently Asked Questions

The most effective method for flea removal is a combination of chemical treatments and environmental controls. This dual approach not only eliminates the existing flea population but also prevents future infestations.

  • Chemical Treatments: These involve using approved insecticides that target both adult fleas and their larvae.
  • Environmental Controls: This includes cleaning and vacuuming regularly to remove flea eggs, larvae, and pupae. Washing bedding and other infested areas also helps.
  • Regular Monitoring: After the treatment, it’s crucial to monitor for any signs of fleas to ensure they are completely eradicated.

Eliminating fleas completely from a home typically takes a few weeks. While the adult fleas might die within a few days of treatment, the eggs, larvae, and pupae stages in the life cycle can linger. Regular follow-up treatments and maintaining preventive measures ensure complete eradication.

Yes, when applied correctly, flea removal treatments are safe for both pets and children. Relief Pest Control ensures that the treatments used are approved and safe. However, it’s always recommended to keep pets and children away during the treatment process and allow the treated areas to dry thoroughly before they return.

The frequency of treatments depends on the severity of the infestation and the effectiveness of the initial treatments. For homes with a recurring flea problem, it might be necessary to have treatments every few months. However, with proper preventive measures, most homeowners find that an annual treatment is sufficient.

Signs of a flea infestation include:

  • Flea Bites: Red, itchy bites, especially around the ankles.
  • Visible Fleas: Adult fleas are small, dark, and can often be seen moving on carpets, pets, or furniture.
  • Flea Dirt: Tiny black or reddish-brown specks, which are the droppings of adult fleas.
  • Pet Distress: Pets scratching, licking, or biting themselves excessively.

Fleas primarily enter homes through pets or wild animals. They can hitch a ride on cats, dogs, rodents, or other animals that come into contact with your home. Fleas can also come from infested environments, such as a friend’s house, parks, or kennels.

Absolutely. Regularly checking pets for fleas, maintaining cleanliness, using preventive treatments for pets, and monitoring for signs can significantly reduce the chances of an infestation. Furthermore, keeping wild animals away from your living spaces and ensuring your home is sealed can also deter fleas.

While there are natural and DIY methods available, such as diatomaceous earth or essential oils, their effectiveness is often limited compared to professional treatments. These methods might provide temporary relief but might not address the infestation’s root. It’s always recommended to consult a pest control company for a thorough solution.

First and foremost, treating pets is a primary step in flea control. Consult a veterinarian for the best flea treatments tailored to your pet. Typically, topical solutions, oral medications, or flea collars are recommended. To ensure your home remains flea-free:

  • Regularly check pets for fleas, especially after outdoor activities.
  • Wash pet bedding in hot water weekly.
  • Vacuum frequently, focusing on areas where pets rest.
  • Keep your pet’s living areas clean and free from organic matter where flea larvae feed.

It’s recommended to vacate the premises during the treatment and for a few hours after, allowing the treatments to settle. Relief Pest Control will provide specific guidelines based on the treatments used, ensuring the safety of all inhabitants.
