You’ll notice the difference within days. No more waking up to fresh bites on your ankles. No more watching your pets scratch themselves raw. No more avoiding certain rooms in your own house because you know the fleas are worse there.
Our residential flea treatment targets every stage of the flea life cycle—eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. While store-bought sprays just push fleas deeper into hiding spots, we eliminate the source completely. Your carpets, furniture, and pet areas get treated with professional-grade solutions that actually penetrate where fleas breed and hide.
The peace of mind comes fast, but the results last. You get your home back without the constant worry about re-infestation that happens with DIY attempts.

San Antonio’s warm, humid climate makes flea control a year-round challenge. We understand the specific conditions that let fleas thrive here—from the sandy soil that harbors eggs to the moisture levels that accelerate breeding cycles.
First, we inspect your entire property to identify where fleas are breeding and hiding. This isn’t a quick walkthrough—we check carpets, pet bedding, furniture cracks, outdoor shaded areas, and anywhere moisture collects.
Then comes the treatment. We apply professional-grade solutions to your home’s interior, focusing on carpeted areas and pet resting spots. Outside, we treat your yard with liquid applications targeting grass, flower beds, and shaded areas where fleas develop. The whole process typically takes a few hours, and we ask that you and your pets stay away until everything’s dry.
The difference is in the approach. Instead of just killing visible adult fleas, we target eggs and larvae that haven’t hatched yet. This breaks the breeding cycle completely, which is why our treatments last while DIY methods fail within weeks.

Your treatment covers every area where fleas live and breed. Interior applications target carpets, area rugs, pet beds, furniture, and cracks where eggs accumulate. We use pet-safe products that eliminate fleas without putting your animals at risk.
Outside, we treat your entire yard with specialized solutions for grass, mulched areas, and shaded spots under decks or porches where fleas thrive in San Antonio’s climate. Professional flea fogging reaches areas that regular spraying misses, ensuring complete coverage.
Florida’s sandy soil presents unique challenges for flea control. Sand fleas and regular fleas both find ideal breeding conditions here, especially during our hot, wet summer months when egg laying peaks. Our treatments account for these local conditions, using methods proven effective in Florida’s specific environment. You also get ongoing prevention advice and follow-up support to keep your property flea-free long-term.
You’ll see a significant reduction in adult fleas within 24-48 hours, but complete elimination takes 2-4 weeks. This isn’t because our treatment is slow—it’s because flea eggs and pupae can’t be killed by any product currently available. They have to hatch first, then contact our treatment to die.
The good news is that each day brings fewer new fleas as the breeding cycle breaks down. Most families notice dramatic improvement within the first week, with occasional stragglers appearing as remaining eggs hatch. This is normal and expected—it actually means the treatment is working as designed.
Absolutely. Florida’s sandy soil provides ideal conditions for flea development, especially in shaded, moist areas around your property. What people call “sand fleas” are often regular cat or dog fleas that have established breeding sites in sandy areas under decks, around foundations, or in landscaped beds.
Sand holds moisture well while providing the loose texture fleas need for their larvae to develop. Areas with leaf litter, pet waste, or organic debris mixed into sandy soil become prime breeding grounds. Our yard treatment specifically targets these problem areas with solutions designed to penetrate sand and eliminate developing fleas before they can mature and enter your home.
Professional treatment targets the entire flea life cycle and covers your complete property, while DIY products typically only kill adult fleas you can see. Store-bought flea bombs and sprays often drive fleas deeper into hiding spots like carpet padding or furniture cracks, where they continue breeding undisturbed.
We use professional-grade products that aren’t available to consumers, applied with equipment designed for thorough coverage. Our treatments penetrate into cracks, crevices, and outdoor breeding areas that home sprayers can’t reach effectively. Most importantly, we understand flea biology—knowing where they develop, when they’re most vulnerable, and how to break their breeding cycle completely rather than just reducing visible adults temporarily.
Carpet flea elimination requires treating both the surface and the padding underneath where eggs and larvae develop. Vacuuming helps remove some adults and debris, but it can’t reach eggs embedded deep in carpet fibers or the padding where most development occurs.
Professional carpet treatment uses specialized equipment to inject solutions deep into carpet backing and padding. We focus on areas where pets rest, since that’s where most eggs are deposited. The treatment continues working for weeks, killing newly hatched fleas as they emerge. Simply spraying carpet surface with retail products rarely penetrates deeply enough to reach developing fleas, which is why DIY carpet treatments typically fail within days.
Our flea treatments are specifically formulated for residential use in homes with pets. We use products that we would apply in our own homes around our own animals. The key is proper application and timing—keeping pets away during treatment and allowing complete drying before they return.
Most professional flea control products have low toxicity to mammals but remain highly effective against fleas. We coordinate with you to ensure your pets are treated by your veterinarian before or during our service, since treating both the animal and environment simultaneously prevents re-infestation. Pet-safe doesn’t mean ineffective—it means using the right products in the right way to protect your family while eliminating the flea problem completely.
Most flea problems are resolved with a single comprehensive treatment, followed by monitoring for 4-6 weeks as remaining eggs hatch and contact the treatment. However, homes with ongoing pet activity or severe initial infestations may benefit from a follow-up application 2-3 weeks after the initial service.
Prevention is equally important. Regular quarterly pest control helps prevent new flea introductions from wildlife, stray animals, or pets picking up fleas from other locations. Florida’s year-round warm climate means fleas never truly go dormant here, so maintaining preventive treatments makes more sense than waiting for another full infestation to develop. We’ll recommend the right schedule based on your specific situation and pet activity levels.
