You’ll walk through your home without fleas jumping on your legs. Your pets will stop the constant scratching that’s been breaking your heart. Your family can relax on carpets and furniture again without red, itchy welts covering their ankles.
That’s what happens when you get real flea control in Elfers, FL that targets every stage of the flea lifecycle. No more failed DIY attempts that waste your time and money. No more watching your pets suffer while store-bought sprays barely make a dent.
Professional flea treatment means using insect growth regulators and commercial-grade products that actually eliminate eggs, larvae, and adults. You get results that last, not temporary relief that leaves you right back where you started in two weeks.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been protecting Elfers families since we started serving Hernando County and surrounding areas. We’re not some corporate call center – you work directly with the owner on every service call.
Our team holds multiple Florida Department of Agriculture pest control licenses and state certifications. We know Florida’s unique flea challenges, from the year-round breeding cycle to the sand flea issues that affect coastal areas like ours.
When you call, you get a real person who answers 24/7, even on weekends. Over 100 five-star Google reviews prove we deliver what we promise – complete flea elimination with a satisfaction guarantee.
First, we inspect your entire property to find where fleas are breeding and hiding. Most companies miss the outdoor sources – shaded areas under decks, pet runs, and moist soil where flea larvae develop into biting adults.
Next, we treat both indoor and outdoor areas with professional-grade products that target all flea life stages. We use insect growth regulators that prevent eggs and larvae from maturing, breaking the reproduction cycle that keeps infestations going.
Finally, we schedule follow-up treatments 10-14 days apart to catch any newly emerged fleas. This timing is critical because flea pupae are resistant to most treatments, so we return when they become vulnerable adults. Most infestations require 2-3 treatments for complete elimination.

Your service includes comprehensive indoor treatment of carpets, furniture, pet bedding, and all areas where fleas hide and reproduce. We treat baseboards, cracks, and crevices that DIY products can’t reach effectively.
Outdoor treatment covers your entire yard, focusing on shaded, moist areas where fleas thrive in Elfers’ subtropical climate. We treat under porches, around shrubs, and in mulched areas where pets spend time.
In Elfers, we see heavy flea activity year-round due to our warm, humid conditions. Unlike northern climates where cold kills fleas, Florida fleas never go dormant. That’s why our treatments are specifically designed for continuous flea pressure, using products that provide extended residual control in our challenging environment.
Most flea infestations in Elfers require 2-3 treatments spaced 10-14 days apart for complete elimination. You’ll see a significant reduction in adult flea activity within 24-48 hours of the first treatment.
However, you may notice some continued flea activity for 7-14 days as pupae emerge from their cocoons. This is normal and expected – flea pupae are resistant to most insecticides, which is why follow-up treatments are essential. The timing of our return visits is specifically designed to target these newly emerged adults before they can reproduce.
Regular fleas don’t actually live in sand, but Florida has biting insects called “sand fleas” that are different from house fleas. These are actually biting midges or no-see-ums that live in coastal areas and can bite humans and pets.
The fleas infesting your home are typically cat fleas or dog fleas that prefer organic debris, pet bedding, and carpeted areas. In Elfers’ sandy soil, they’re more likely found in shaded, moist areas with organic matter – under porches, around pet areas, or in mulched landscaping. Our outdoor treatments target these specific breeding areas where real fleas actually develop.
Store-bought flea products typically only kill adult fleas, which represent just 5% of the total flea population in your home. The other 95% – eggs, larvae, and pupae – continue developing and emerge as new biting adults within days or weeks.
Florida’s year-round warm, humid climate accelerates flea reproduction, making DIY failures even more frustrating. Professional treatments use insect growth regulators that disrupt the entire lifecycle and commercial-grade products with extended residual control. We also have the expertise to identify and treat outdoor breeding sources that most homeowners completely miss.
Yes, our professional flea treatments are specifically designed to be safe for pets and children when applied correctly. We use EPA-approved products and follow strict application protocols to ensure your family’s safety.
The products we use are actually safer than many over-the-counter options because we’re trained in proper application rates and techniques. We’ll provide specific instructions about keeping pets and children away from treated areas until they’re completely dry, typically 2-4 hours. Once dry, treated areas are safe for normal family activities.
Professional flea control in Elfers typically costs between $150-400 depending on your home’s size and the severity of the infestation. Most properties require 2-3 treatments for complete elimination, and we provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees.
We offer special discounts for military families and new homeowners in the Elfers area. When you consider the cost of multiple failed DIY attempts, professional treatment is often more cost-effective and definitely more reliable. We also provide a satisfaction guarantee – if fleas return after our recommended treatment plan, we’ll re-service at no additional cost.
Professional spray treatments are more effective than fogging for flea control because they provide better coverage and penetration into carpets, cracks, and crevices where fleas hide. Foggers create a fine mist that doesn’t reach deep into fabric fibers or tight spaces.
Our spray treatments use specialized equipment that delivers precise application rates to all flea harborage areas. We can adjust pressure and coverage patterns for different surfaces – from delicate upholstery to concrete patios. This targeted approach ensures better contact with fleas and longer residual control, which is especially important in Elfers’ challenging climate conditions.
