You’ll get back to enjoying your home without constantly checking for flea bites on your ankles. Your pets will stop their endless scratching and return to being comfortable in their own space. Within days of our treatment, you’ll notice fewer fleas jumping around, and within weeks, your home will be completely flea-free.
Our comprehensive approach eliminates the 99% of fleas hiding in your carpets, furniture, and yard—not just the 1% you see on your pets. You won’t have to worry about eggs hatching weeks later because our insect growth regulators stop the cycle completely.
We’ve been protecting Istachatta families from flea infestations with the kind of personal service you won’t find from big pest control companies. When you call, you’re speaking directly with the owner—not a call center.
We understand that Florida’s year-round warm, humid climate makes Istachatta a perfect breeding ground for fleas. That’s why we’ve developed specialized treatment protocols that work specifically in our local conditions, ensuring fleas don’t just disappear temporarily but stay gone for good.
First, we conduct a thorough inspection of your property to identify exactly where fleas are breeding and hiding. We check the shady, moist areas of your yard where wildlife drops them off, plus all the high-traffic pet areas inside your home like bedding, carpets, and furniture.
Next, we apply targeted treatments both indoors and outdoors using EPA-approved, pet-safe products. Our interior treatment combines residual insecticides to kill adult fleas with insect growth regulators that sterilize females and prevent eggs from developing. Outside, we treat key areas your pets frequent to create a protective barrier.
Finally, we schedule follow-up visits to ensure complete elimination. Because flea pupae can remain dormant for weeks before emerging, we monitor your property and provide additional treatments if needed until every stage of the flea lifecycle is broken.

Your flea control service includes comprehensive treatment of both indoor and outdoor areas because fleas don’t respect boundaries. We treat carpets, furniture, pet bedding, and all the hidden spots where flea larvae thrive away from light.
In Istachatta’s humid climate, your yard becomes a flea highway where wildlife like raccoons, possums, and stray cats drop eggs and larvae. We target these outdoor breeding areas with specialized treatments that eliminate fleas before they can hitch a ride back inside on your pets or shoes.
Our service also includes detailed preparation instructions and post-treatment guidance to maximize effectiveness. You’ll know exactly what to expect during treatment and how to maintain a flea-free environment long-term.
You’ll typically see a noticeable reduction in flea activity within the first few days after treatment. However, complete elimination takes 2-4 weeks because flea pupae in cocoons can remain dormant and protected from treatments.
This is completely normal and doesn’t mean the treatment isn’t working. Adult fleas emerge from cocoons when they sense vibrations or warmth from you and your pets, then die upon contact with our residual treatments. We schedule follow-up visits during this period to monitor progress and apply additional treatments if needed to ensure every flea generation is eliminated.
Yes, the so-called “sand fleas” are actually common fleas that breed in sandy soil outdoors. Florida’s warm, humid environment allows fleas to complete their lifecycle in sand, soil, leaf litter, and other outdoor areas where your pets spend time.
These outdoor fleas jump onto your pets during walks or yard time, then get carried inside where they establish indoor infestations. That’s why effective flea control must treat both your home’s interior and exterior areas. Our yard treatments target these sandy, shady spots where fleas thrive, creating a protective barrier around your property.
We use EPA-approved, pet-safe treatments specifically designed for homes with animals. Our carpet treatment combines residual insecticides that kill adult fleas with insect growth regulators that prevent eggs and larvae from developing into biting adults.
Before treatment, you’ll need to vacuum thoroughly and remove pets for a few hours while products dry. We focus on areas where your pets rest most often since that’s where the heaviest flea populations develop. The products we use are safe for pets to return once dry, typically within 2-3 hours.
Professional treatments target the entire flea lifecycle with products not available to consumers, while DIY methods typically only kill adult fleas you can see. We use insect growth regulators that sterilize female fleas and prevent eggs from hatching—something over-the-counter sprays can’t do.
DIY treatments often fail because they miss the 99% of fleas living in your environment rather than on your pets. Our comprehensive approach treats both indoor and outdoor breeding areas simultaneously, preventing re-infestation. We also have the expertise to identify exactly where fleas are hiding and breeding in your specific property.
Seeing fleas for 2-4 weeks after treatment is completely normal and actually indicates the treatment is working. Flea pupae in cocoons are naturally protected from all pesticides and can remain dormant for weeks until they sense a host nearby.
When these protected pupae emerge as adults, they immediately contact our residual treatments and die. This process continues until all dormant pupae have emerged and been eliminated. Any fleas you see during this period are in the process of dying—they’re not reproducing or establishing new infestations.
Most flea infestations require 1-3 treatments spaced 2-3 weeks apart to achieve complete elimination. Florida’s year-round flea season means some properties may benefit from quarterly preventive treatments, especially if you have outdoor pets or live near wooded areas.
The exact frequency depends on your specific situation—pet activity levels, yard conditions, and proximity to wildlife that can reintroduce fleas. After eliminating your current infestation, we’ll recommend a maintenance schedule based on your property’s risk factors to prevent future problems.
