You’ll sleep better knowing those itchy bites are gone for good. Your pets will stop the constant scratching and get back to being themselves. Your carpets, furniture, and bedding become safe spaces again instead of flea breeding grounds.
No more vacuuming every day hoping to catch stragglers. No more worrying about fleas jumping onto your kids or spreading through the house. When we’re done, you’ll have a home where everyone can relax without constantly checking for tiny jumping pests.
The difference is in our approach. We don’t just spray and hope for the best. We target fleas at every stage of their lifecycle, from eggs to adults, so they can’t come back in two weeks like they do with DIY treatments.
We’ve been protecting Hernando County families from flea infestations with the kind of personal attention you won’t get from the big chains. When you call, you talk directly to the owner, not a call center.
We understand Rerdell’s unique challenges. The humid Florida climate means fleas thrive year-round here, especially in areas near water features and sandy soil. Our family-run approach means we take the time to explain what’s happening and what we’re going to do about it.
Over 100 five-star Google reviews tell the story better than we can. Families trust us because we show up when we say we will, do what we promise, and make sure the job is done right the first time.
First, we thoroughly inspect your property to find where fleas are hiding and breeding. This includes checking carpets, pet bedding, furniture, and outdoor areas where your pets spend time. We’re looking for the hot spots most companies miss.
Next, we apply targeted treatments both inside and outside your home. Indoor treatment includes professional-grade insecticides and insect growth regulators that stop fleas from reproducing. We treat carpets, upholstery, baseboards, and anywhere fleas might be lurking.
Outside, we create a protective barrier around your property, treating the areas where fleas typically enter from wildlife or stray animals. This prevents new fleas from establishing themselves in your yard and being tracked back inside.
The process typically requires multiple visits because fleas in cocoons can’t be eliminated with the first treatment. We’ll schedule follow-up visits to catch any fleas that emerge later, ensuring complete elimination.

Your flea control service covers both indoor and outdoor treatment with pet-safe products that won’t harm your family. We use professional-grade insect growth regulators that sterilize adult fleas and prevent eggs from developing into biting adults.
Indoor treatment targets carpets, furniture, pet bedding, and all the places fleas hide during the day. We pay special attention to areas where your pets rest and play, since that’s where most flea eggs end up.
Outdoor treatment is crucial in Rerdell because of our proximity to natural areas where wildlife can drop off fleas. We treat your yard, especially shaded and moist areas where fleas thrive, creating a barrier that prevents reinfestation from outside sources. This comprehensive approach is why our treatments last months instead of weeks.
You’ll start seeing results within the first few days as adult fleas die off from our treatment. However, complete elimination takes 2-4 weeks because fleas in the cocoon stage can’t be killed by any treatment and will continue emerging for a while.
This is why we schedule follow-up visits. Those newly emerged fleas will die when they contact our treatment, but it takes time for all cocoons to hatch. Most families see dramatic improvement within a week and complete elimination by the second or third week.
The key difference with professional treatment is that we break the breeding cycle, so you won’t see new generations of fleas developing like you would with store-bought sprays.
Sand fleas are actually different from regular house fleas. True sand fleas are small crustaceans that live in beach sand and don’t typically infest homes. They prefer to stay in moist, sandy coastal areas rather than moving into carpets and furniture.
However, regular cat and dog fleas can survive in sandy soil around your property, especially in shaded, moist areas. These are the fleas that actually cause problems for pets and families in Rerdell.
Our outdoor treatment targets these areas where regular fleas might be living in sandy soil near your home. We use granular treatments that penetrate into the ground and liquid applications that create a protective barrier, preventing fleas from establishing populations in your yard.
Yes, our flea treatments are specifically designed to be safe for families with pets and children. We use EPA-approved products and follow strict application guidelines that protect your family while eliminating fleas effectively.
During treatment, we’ll ask you to keep pets and children out of treated areas until everything is dry, usually 2-4 hours. After that, the areas are safe for normal use. Our products target fleas specifically and break down safely in the environment.
We also coordinate with your veterinarian’s flea prevention program for your pets. Professional pest control combined with proper pet care creates the most effective, long-lasting protection for your entire household.
This is completely normal and expected. Fleas in the cocoon stage are protected from all treatments and will continue emerging for 1-3 weeks after the initial service. When they emerge, they’ll contact our treatment and die, but you might see them briefly.
You might actually notice more flea activity in the first few days because our treatment stimulates cocoons to hatch faster. This is good because it means fleas are coming out where they’ll be eliminated instead of staying dormant for months.
This is exactly why we schedule follow-up visits and why professional treatment is more effective than DIY approaches. We know this lifecycle and plan for it, ensuring complete elimination rather than just temporary relief.
Flea control costs depend on the size of your home, the extent of the infestation, and whether you need both indoor and outdoor treatment. Most residential flea treatments in Rerdell range from moderate to comprehensive depending on these factors.
We provide honest quotes over the phone in most cases, so you’ll know the cost upfront without any surprise fees. As a family-owned business, we offer fair pricing and special discounts for new homeowners and military families.
The investment in professional treatment actually saves money compared to months of buying ineffective store products, replacing damaged items, and dealing with ongoing flea problems. Most families find the peace of mind and complete elimination worth every penny.
Professional treatment uses commercial-grade insect growth regulators that aren’t available to consumers. These products sterilize adult fleas and prevent eggs from developing, breaking the reproductive cycle that keeps infestations going.
DIY treatments typically only kill adult fleas you can see, leaving eggs and larvae to develop into the next generation. That’s why store-bought treatments seem to work for a few days, then fleas come back stronger than before.
We also have the experience to find all the hiding spots fleas use and the equipment to treat areas most homeowners can’t reach effectively. Professional treatment addresses the entire flea lifecycle and environment, providing months of protection instead of temporary relief.
