You’ll sleep better knowing those itchy bites are gone for good. No more watching your pets scratch constantly or finding flea dirt on your furniture. Our residential flea treatment in Ayers eliminates adult fleas, eggs, and larvae in one comprehensive service.
Within hours of treatment, you’ll notice the difference. Your pets stop the frantic scratching. The tiny black specks disappear from carpets and pet bedding. Most importantly, your family gets back to normal life without the constant irritation and health concerns that come with flea infestations.
Florida’s year-round warm climate means fleas never truly go away on their own. That’s why our approach targets the complete flea life cycle, not just the adults you can see jumping around.
Around The Clock Pest Service has protected Ayers families from fleas and other pests for years. As a family-run business, you work directly with the owner—not some call center or rotating technicians.
Every phone call gets answered personally, even on weekends. We provide most quotes right over the phone because we understand Florida flea problems and can assess your situation quickly. Our state-certified technicians know exactly how fleas behave in Hernando County’s humid climate.
We’ve earned over 100 five-star Google reviews by doing what we say we’ll do, when we say we’ll do it. Local homeowners trust us because we live and work in the same community we serve.
First, we inspect your property to locate flea hotspots—pet areas, carpeted rooms, and outdoor spaces where your pets spend time. This tells us exactly where to focus our professional flea fogging and treatment efforts.
Next, we apply targeted treatments both indoors and outdoors. Indoor flea removal focuses on carpets, furniture, and pet bedding where eggs and larvae hide. Our yard flea spray service in Ayers treats the outdoor areas where fleas jump onto pets and people.
The treatment works immediately on adult fleas, but eggs take about two weeks to hatch. That’s normal—you might see some new fleas during this period, but they’ll die quickly from the residual treatment. We schedule a follow-up if needed to ensure complete elimination.

Our flea exterminator service for homes with pets uses only pet-safe products that won’t harm your dogs, cats, or children. We understand that your pets are family members, not just animals that happen to live in your house.
Florida’s sandy soil presents unique challenges for flea control. Sand flea control in Florida requires different techniques than standard treatments. We address both regular fleas that infest carpets and furniture, plus the biting midges often called “sand fleas” that thrive near coastal areas.
Every treatment includes both indoor flea removal and comprehensive yard treatment. Fleas spend most of their life cycle in outdoor areas, so treating only inside your home won’t solve the problem. Our approach ensures fleas can’t re-establish themselves in your yard and re-infest your home.
Professional flea treatment starts killing adult fleas within hours, but complete elimination takes about two weeks. This timing isn’t a flaw in the treatment—it’s how flea biology works.
Adult fleas die quickly from our professional products. However, flea eggs can take up to two weeks to hatch, and pupae in cocoons are naturally protected from all treatments until they emerge as adults. When these new fleas hatch, they immediately contact the residual treatment and die.
You might see some new flea activity during the first two weeks, especially around day 10-14 when the largest wave of eggs typically hatches. This is completely normal and actually indicates the treatment is working as designed.
True fleas don’t live in sand, but many people confuse sand fleas (actually biting midges) with regular fleas. Both can be problems for Florida homeowners, especially those near coastal areas.
Regular fleas prefer organic matter like grass, mulch, and shaded areas under decks or porches. They need moisture to survive, so pure sand isn’t their ideal habitat. However, they thrive in landscaped areas with plants, irrigation, and organic debris.
What people call “sand fleas” are usually biting midges or no-see-ums that do live in sandy coastal areas. These tiny insects bite humans and pets, causing similar irritation to flea bites. Our treatment addresses both types of pests based on your specific property conditions.
Professional vs DIY flea treatment comes down to effectiveness and safety. Store-bought products might kill some adult fleas, but they rarely eliminate the eggs and larvae that cause re-infestation.
Professional treatments use commercial-grade insect growth regulators that disrupt the flea life cycle. These products aren’t available to consumers and require proper training to apply safely. We also know exactly where to treat—subfloors, crawl spaces, and outdoor areas that homeowners typically miss.
DIY treatments often lead to repeated applications, chemical exposure, and ongoing frustration as fleas keep coming back. Professional treatment costs more upfront but typically costs less overall because it works the first time and includes follow-up service if needed.
Getting rid of fleas in carpet requires understanding that most of the flea population lives in your carpet, not on your pets. Eggs fall off pets and develop in carpet fibers, especially in areas where pets rest frequently.
Vacuuming helps remove eggs and larvae, but it won’t eliminate an active infestation. The vibration actually stimulates flea eggs to hatch faster. Professional carpet treatment uses specialized products that penetrate deep into carpet fibers and padding where developing fleas hide.
We treat the entire carpeted area, not just visible problem spots. Fleas can develop anywhere pets walk, and eggs can be transported on clothing and shoes. Our treatment creates a protective barrier that kills fleas at every life stage for weeks after application.
Fleas are difficult to eliminate because of their complex life cycle and rapid reproduction. A female flea can lay 50 eggs per day, and those eggs can survive for months in carpets, furniture, and outdoor areas.
The biggest challenge is that only about 5% of the flea population consists of adult fleas you can see. The other 95% are eggs, larvae, and pupae developing in hidden areas throughout your home and yard. Killing adult fleas doesn’t stop the next generation from emerging.
Professional treatment targets all life stages using different products for eggs, larvae, and adults. We also treat both indoor and outdoor areas because fleas move freely between environments. This comprehensive approach is why professional treatment succeeds where DIY methods typically fail.
