WHERE FLEAS LIVE

Flea Treatment for Carpets, Pet Bedding & Basements

Adult fleas spend most of their lives on a cat or dog, but the eggs they lay fall off wherever the animal sleeps or sits. That’s why most of a flea problem is in your home, not on your pet, in places like these.

Pet beds and sofas

Your pet's resting spots collect the most eggs, so the blankets there hold the next generation.

Carpets and rugs

Larvae crawl down into the pile, away from light, and feed on the dried blood adult fleas leave behind.

Basements and crawlspaces

Mice, rats, squirrels or raccoons nesting under or inside a house can leave their fleas behind when they move on.

Empty homes and new rentals

Cocoons left by a previous tenant's pet can sit quietly for months, then hatch soon after you move in.

FLEA OR LOOK-ALIKE?

How to Identify a Flea

Most fleas in Lower Mainland homes are cat fleas, and they live just as happily on dogs. Several other small bugs get blamed for flea bites, and these details tell them apart.

Size and shape

Adults are about 1–3 mm, dark reddish-brown and flattened from side to side, so they slide between hairs.

How they move

Fleas have no wings, but strong back legs let them jump up to 20 cm, which is why they land on ankles.

Bed bugs

Wider, flatter and about the size of an apple seed. They crawl but never jump and hide in mattress seams. If that sounds like your problem, see bed bug control.

Springtails

Tiny jumpers found around sinks, tubs and damp basements. They don’t bite and point to a moisture problem, not a pet.

Carpet beetle larvae

Fuzzy, striped and slow, found under rugs and in closets. They don’t bite, but their hairs can cause an itchy rash.

Ticks

Eight legs, no jumping, and they stay attached to the skin. They’re picked up in long grass and brush, not from carpets.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Signs of Fleas in Your Home

Bites around the ankles

Fleas jump up from the floor, so small itchy bites with one red centre usually start below the knee.

A pet that keeps scratching

Constant chewing near the tail or neck is often the first clue. Ask your vet to check your pet.

Flea dirt

Black specks in fur or pet bedding that turn red on a damp paper towel are digested blood.

Specks that jump

Tiny dark dots that leap onto white socks as you cross a carpet are adult fleas.

Bites soon after moving in

Fleas in a home that sat empty have hatched from cocoons left by a past pet.

Bites with no pets at home

Rodents or wildlife nesting nearby can be the flea source when no cat or dog lives with you.

WHY EARLY ACTION MATTERS

Why Fleas Get Worse Before You Notice Them

The fleas you see are a small share of the problem. Most are eggs, larvae and cocoons hidden in fabric and floor cracks.

Itchy bites for the family

Bites can stay itchy and swollen for weeks, and some people react strongly to flea saliva.

Your pets suffer too

Heavy flea numbers bring scratching and hair loss, and fleas can pass on tapeworms. Talk to your vet.

A new wave every few weeks

A female flea lays dozens of eggs a day, so untreated carpets keep producing new adults.

Tip: leave the flea bombs on the shelf. Their mist lands on top of carpets and furniture, while the larvae and cocoons sit deep in the fibres below.

OUR FLEA PROCESS

Our Flea Treatment Process

Inspect

We find where your pets rest and where flea dirt collects, and check the basement or crawlspace for nesting animals.

Prepare

You get a short list: vacuum, wash pet bedding hot, clear the floors and book your pet’s treatment with your vet.

Treat

Carpets, rugs, baseboards and furniture get a registered insecticide plus a growth regulator for eggs and larvae.

Follow up

A return visit treats the fleas that have climbed out of their cocoons since the first treatment.

TREAT THE HOME AND THE PET

Flea Control That Breaks the Life Cycle

A flea cocoon shields the pupa inside from insecticide, and it can wait for weeks until warmth and footsteps signal a host nearby. So treatment has to reach every stage: adults now, larvae through a growth regulator, late hatchers on a return visit.

Growth regulators

They stop eggs and larvae from growing into biting adults, and keep working after we leave.

Floors and furniture treated

Carpets, baseboards and upholstery where larvae feed are treated directly, not misted across the room.

Your vet treats the pet

Fleas on a cat or dog need a product your vet recommends, ideally in the same week we treat the home.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Every Flea Treatment Includes

Room-by-room check of floors and furniture
Pet sleeping areas found and treated
Growth regulator for eggs and larvae
Basement and crawlspace check for animals
Simple prep and vacuuming instructions
Return visit for late-hatching fleas

LOCAL FLEA ADVICE

Flea Prevention for Homes with Cats & Dogs

Fleas peak across the Lower Mainland from late summer into early fall, but a heated home lets them keep breeding through the winter.

Flea life cycle at a glance

Stage	Look	Where it is	What stops it
Egg	Pearly white, about 0.5 mm	Falls off the pet into bedding and carpet	Vacuuming, hot washing, growth regulator
Larva	Pale, worm‑like, 2–5 mm	Deep in carpet pile and floor cracks	Growth regulator, insecticide
Cocoon	Sticky case coated in dust	Base of the carpet, under furniture	Vacuuming to wake it, return visit
Adult	Dark, 1–3 mm, jumps	On the pet, then the floor	Your vet for the pet, insecticide for the home

In a warm home the cycle takes a few weeks, but cocoons in an empty house can wait for months.

7 ways to keep fleas out

Vacuum carpets and sofas daily, and empty the canister into an outdoor bin.
Wash pet bedding and throws in hot, soapy water, lifting them by the corners so eggs don’t scatter.
Ask your vet about year-round flea protection for every cat and dog in the home.
Run a flea comb through your pet’s fur near the neck and tail after time outdoors.
Seal gaps that let mice, rats and squirrels into the attic, walls or crawlspace.
Block the space under decks and sheds where raccoons and stray cats bed down.
Keep the lawn mowed and leaf piles cleared away from the house.

CLEAR, HONEST PRICING

How Much Does Flea Control Cost in BC?

Flea work is quoted once we know how many rooms and pets are involved. The price is agreed with you before any treatment starts.

Size of the home

More carpeted rooms and upholstered furniture mean more surface to treat.

Rooms your pets use

Fleas follow your pets, so every room where they sleep is part of the plan.

Animals nesting nearby

Mice or raccoons in the crawlspace or attic may need dealing with too.

Return visits

Any return visit for late hatchers is priced in from the start.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional service by a local Canadian owned company. We called Exopest at 9pm on a Friday night and Manager Kashif Naseer picked up the phone! He was at our home in less than 24 hours. A significant mouse problem was irradiated 24 hours later. Kashif is a true professional: polite, proficient, he educated us, and he solved the problem for us. Could not be happier to recommend this company. Thank you Exopest!

HELPFUL ANSWERS

Flea Control FAQs

Straight answers for Lower Mainland pet owners, tenants and landlords dealing with fleas.

Why am I still seeing fleas after a treatment?

Fleas inside their cocoons aren’t touched by the treatment, so new adults keep appearing for a couple of weeks. Keep vacuuming, because the vibration brings them out onto treated surfaces sooner.

My vet treated my pet. Why does the house need treating too?

The product on your pet kills fleas that jump on, but the eggs, larvae and cocoons already in your carpets keep hatching. Treating the home cuts off that supply much faster. Talk to your vet about the right product for your pet.

Can I have fleas without a pet?

Yes. A previous tenant’s pet, mice or raccoons nesting in or under the house, or fleas carried in on clothing after visiting a home with pets.

Do fleas live on people?

Cat fleas will bite people, but they can’t breed on us. They need a furry host, so they return to the floor or to your pet between bites.

How should I prepare for a flea treatment?

Vacuum every floor and sofa, hot-wash pet bedding, move toys and shoes off the floor, and have your vet treat your pet that same week. We’ll tell you how long to stay out before we start.

Are fleas dangerous?

For most people the bites are itchy rather than harmful, though some react badly. Fleas can pass tapeworms to pets, and in rare cases they can carry disease.

Who pays for flea treatment in a BC rental?

BC’s Residential Tenancy Branch guidelines make landlords generally responsible for insect control, so they usually arrange it. If a tenant’s own pet brought the fleas in, the landlord may ask that tenant to cover the cost. This is general information, not legal advice.

How much does flea control cost?

It depends on the size of the home, the rooms your pets use and any animals nesting nearby. Call 604-760-1542 for a free quote.
