A flea problem gets frustrating when home remedies don’t work. Fleas bite people as well as pets, and the itchy bites can make your whole home uncomfortable. Once fleas are inside, they’re hard to get rid of.
Fleas peak in Tillsonburg from late summer into the fall, when pets bring them in from yards and fields. We inspect your home to see how far they’ve spread, then treat the areas where fleas, their eggs and larvae are found.
Signs of Fleas in Your Home
- Pets scratching, licking or chewing more than usual
- Itchy red bites, often around the ankles and lower legs
- Tiny dark specks (flea dirt) in pet bedding that turn reddish when wet
- Small jumping insects on carpets, rugs or pet bedding
- Fleas in a home with no pets, which can point to wildlife in the attic, a shed or under a deck
Not sure if the bites are fleas or bed bugs? Bed bug bites often show up in a line or cluster on the upper body after sleeping. See our bed bug treatment.
How We Treat Fleas
Inspect
We visit at a time that suits you and check where the fleas are and how far they've spread.
Treat
We treat carpets, furniture and pet resting areas with products applied according to label directions.
Your Pets
Your vet treats your pets at the same time, so they don't bring fleas back in.
The Next Two Weeks
We tell you what to expect over the next two weeks and what to do if you still see fleas.
How to Prepare for Your Flea Treatment
- Pick up toys, clothes and other items from the floors
- Vacuum carpets, rugs and furniture, including under the cushions, and empty the vacuum outside
- Wash pet bedding in hot water
- Book your pets in with your vet for flea treatment at the same time
- Keep people and pets out of treated rooms until the treatment has dried
Why Fleas Keep Coming Back
Many store-bought flea products kill adult fleas but don’t reach the eggs, larvae and pupae deep in carpets and furniture, so a new wave hatches a week or two later.
Flea pupae are protected by a cocoon and keep hatching for up to about two weeks after treatment. That’s normal. Keep vacuuming every day, so the new fleas come into contact with the treated areas.
If wildlife is the source, the fleas will keep coming until the animals are out. See our wildlife removal services.
Flea Treatment Cost
Flea treatment for a home usually costs $500–575 plus HST. It comes with a 90-day warranty: if fleas are still a problem after the two-week hatch window, we’ll re-treat under the warranty. An inspection is required for an exact quote.
