Flea & Tick Treatment in South Florida

The Problem in South Florida

Fleas never get a winter break in South Florida. Warm, shaded, humid yards let eggs, larvae and pupae develop year round, and the vast majority of a flea population is not on your pet at all, it's in carpet fibers, pet bedding, furniture cushions and shaded soil.

Ticks are the more serious health concern. Brown dog ticks can complete their entire life cycle indoors, and other species carried in by wildlife can transmit disease to pets and people. Both pests require treating the environment, not just the animal.

Signs You Have a Problem

• Pets scratching, biting at the tail base, or losing hair
• Tiny dark specks (flea dirt) in pet bedding that turn red when wet
• Small itchy bites around your ankles and lower legs
• Fleas jumping in carpet, rugs or shaded yard areas
• Ticks found on pets, door frames, or climbing interior walls
• Activity that spikes after boarding, travel or new pets

How Arrest-A-Pest Treats It

Every treatment uses EPA-approved products applied by licensed, insured and bonded technicians, safe for pets and family when the label and our re-entry guidance are followed.

1. 1

   Indoor and outdoor inspection

   We identify hot zones, pet resting areas, carpet, upholstery, shaded soil, fence lines and under decks.

2. 2

   Interior treatment with IGRs

   Adulticide plus insect growth regulator so eggs and larvae never mature. This is what stops the two-week rebound.

3. 3

   Yard and harborage treatment

   Shaded turf, landscape beds, fence lines and crawl areas are treated where larvae actually develop.

4. 4

   Coordination with your vet plan

   Environmental treatment only holds if pets stay on veterinary preventatives, we'll align the timing with you.

5. 5

   Follow-up service

   A second visit targets pupae that emerged after the first treatment, closing out the life cycle.
