You’re dealing with more than just the fleas you can see jumping around. Those visible adults? They’re only 5% of your actual problem. The other 95% are eggs, larvae, and pupae hiding deep in your carpets, furniture, and pet bedding—places your store-bought sprays can’t reach.
When we eliminate your flea infestation in Ellerslie, FL, you get your peaceful home back. No more constant scratching from your pets. No more embarrassing red bite marks on your ankles. No more worrying about health risks to your family.
Our professional flea treatment targets every life stage with commercial-grade products that aren’t available to consumers. Within 24-48 hours, you’ll see a dramatic drop in adult flea activity. Within 2-3 weeks, your infestation is completely eliminated.
We’ve been protecting Ellerslie families from pest problems for years at Around The Clock Pest Service. As a family-run business, you work directly with the owner on every job—no middlemen, no corporate runaround.
We understand Ellerslie’s unique challenges. Florida’s warm, humid climate makes our area a year-round breeding ground for fleas. Unlike seasonal pest problems up north, fleas here never really go away on their own.
That’s why we’re available 24/7, even on weekends. When you call, you’re talking to someone who lives and works in this community. Over 100 five-star Google reviews from your neighbors prove we deliver what we promise.
First, we inspect your entire property—inside and out. We identify the flea species, locate their breeding sites, and assess how severe your infestation really is. Most Ellerslie homeowners are surprised by what we find in areas they never thought to check.
Next comes the initial treatment. We apply professional-grade insecticides that kill adult fleas on contact, plus insect growth regulators that prevent eggs and larvae from maturing. We treat your carpets, furniture, pet areas, and yard—everywhere fleas hide and breed.
Two weeks later, we return for the follow-up treatment. This timing is crucial because it targets newly hatched fleas before they can reproduce. Most infestations require 2-3 treatments spaced 10-14 days apart to completely break the flea life cycle. We keep coming back until your problem is solved.

Our flea control service in Ellerslie, FL includes comprehensive indoor and outdoor treatment. We target the cat fleas that dominate Florida homes, plus any sand flea issues you might have near coastal areas.
Indoor treatment covers all carpeted areas, upholstery, pet bedding, and furniture where flea eggs accumulate. We use pet-safe products that won’t harm your family but eliminate fleas at every life stage. Special attention goes to areas under furniture and in cracks where DIY treatments can’t reach.
Outdoor treatment focuses on your yard, especially shaded areas where pets rest and fleas develop. Florida’s sandy soil and warm temperatures create perfect flea breeding conditions, so we treat these areas with targeted applications that break the cycle before fleas can move indoors.
Most flea infestations in Ellerslie require 2-3 treatments spaced 10-14 days apart for complete elimination. You’ll see adult flea activity drop significantly within 24-48 hours of the first treatment.
However, you might notice some new flea activity for 7-14 days after treatment. This is normal—these are fleas emerging from pupae that were resistant to the initial treatment. That’s exactly why we schedule follow-up visits at strategic intervals to catch these newly emerged fleas before they can reproduce.
The total process typically takes 3-4 weeks from start to finish. Severe infestations or homes with multiple pets may require an additional treatment, but we guarantee results and keep coming back until your flea problem is completely resolved.
True fleas don’t typically live in sand, but Florida has several pests commonly called “sand fleas” that can affect your property. The cat flea—Florida’s most common species—prefers organic matter in your yard, pet bedding, and carpeted areas rather than pure sand.
What people call “sand fleas” are often beach hoppers or biting midges (no-see-ums) that thrive in coastal areas. These are actually small crustaceans, not true fleas, but they can still bite and cause irritation.
If you’re near coastal areas in Ellerslie, we treat both regular flea infestations and help identify other biting pests you might be dealing with. Our inspection process determines exactly what species you’re facing so we can target the right treatment approach.
DIY flea treatments fail because they only target adult fleas—the 5% you can actually see. The other 95% of your flea population consists of eggs, larvae, and pupae hiding deep in carpets, furniture, and outdoor areas where store-bought sprays can’t penetrate.
Florida’s warm, humid climate accelerates flea reproduction, making the problem worse faster than DIY methods can handle. Fleas here reproduce year-round, not just seasonally like in cooler climates. By the time you see adults jumping around, you’re already dealing with a well-established breeding population.
Professional treatment uses commercial-grade insect growth regulators that disrupt the entire flea life cycle, plus specialized equipment that reaches deep into carpets and furniture. We also treat outdoor areas where fleas develop—something most homeowners never consider but is crucial in Florida’s climate.
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 safety protocols that protect your family while eliminating fleas.
During treatment, we ask that pets and children stay away from treated areas until the products dry—typically 2-4 hours. Once dry, the treated areas are safe for normal use. We coordinate with your veterinarian’s flea prevention program to ensure our treatments complement, not interfere with, your pet’s ongoing protection.
Professional treatments are actually safer than many DIY approaches because we know exactly how much product to use and where to apply it. Homeowners often over-apply store-bought products or use them in inappropriate areas, creating unnecessary exposure risks for their families.
While DIY products cost $5-30 per bottle, most homeowners end up spending $100-200 on multiple products that don’t solve the problem. Professional flea control in Ellerslie typically costs $150-400 for complete elimination, including follow-up treatments.
The real cost difference comes from effectiveness and time. DIY methods rarely eliminate infestations completely, leading to months of ongoing purchases and frustration. Professional treatment solves the problem in 2-3 visits over 3-4 weeks.
Consider the hidden costs of DIY failure: continued pet discomfort, potential health risks, damage to your peace of mind, and the time you spend researching and applying treatments. Professional elimination gives you guaranteed results and lets you focus on enjoying your flea-free home instead of fighting an ongoing battle.
Prevention starts with regular pet care—work with your veterinarian to maintain year-round flea prevention on all pets. In Florida’s climate, skipping even one month of pet protection can restart an infestation.
Keep your yard maintained by trimming grass short and removing debris where fleas and their hosts might hide. Regular vacuuming of carpets, especially in pet areas, removes flea eggs before they can develop. Focus on areas under furniture and pet bedding where eggs accumulate.
We provide specific prevention recommendations based on your property and pet situation during our service. Many Ellerslie homeowners benefit from quarterly maintenance treatments, especially if they have multiple pets or their pets spend significant time outdoors. Our ongoing prevention program keeps your home protected year-round without the stress of dealing with recurring infestations.
