How Terminix Canada Flea Control Works

Flea Inspection

On your initial service, we’ll hunt high and low for fleas, documenting our findings in a comprehensive inspection. Before we visit, several preparation steps are required for home flea treatment.

  • Remove all items from the floor (E.g. toys, clothes, pet food)
  • Wash or replace pet bedding
  • Vacuum carpets, rugs, and areas beneath beds and furniture
  • Clean all flooring by sweeping and mopping
  • Clean concrete floors with soap and water
  • Remove all pets
  • Make all outdoor shaded areas and crawlspaces available for treatment
  • Arrange to leave home for several hours while the flea treatment has time to dry

Flea Defence

After inspecting and investigating your flea infestation, Terminix Canada’s professional flea removal gets rid of fleas by using the latest flea control products. Where flea infestations are active, our professional flea exterminators will apply a residual treatment combined with an insect growth regulator, especially in places where pets rest or sleep. Outdoors, our flea treatment is usually applied to shaded areas, shrubs, and decks.

Pets should be treated at the same time a home is treated. Pet treatment should always take place under the direction of a veterinarian.

Flea Monitoring
