You’ll finally sleep without worrying about fleas jumping on your family. Your pets stop the constant scratching and biting at their skin. The carpet becomes safe for kids to play on again.
Florida’s year-round warmth means fleas never really go dormant here in Dade City North. What starts as a few fleas on your pet quickly becomes hundreds hiding in your carpet fibers, furniture, and pet bedding. Professional flea control eliminates the 95% of fleas living in your environment, not just the ones you see on your pets.
The relief comes fast when you target all life stages at once. Adult fleas die within hours, while insect growth regulators stop eggs and larvae from developing. Your home returns to being the comfortable space it should be.
We’ve been protecting Dade City North families from fleas and other pests for years at Around The Clock Pest Service. As a family-owned business, you work directly with the owner—no call centers or corporate runaround.
We understand Florida’s unique pest pressures. The humidity that makes our area beautiful also creates perfect conditions for fleas to thrive year-round. That’s why we’ve developed treatment approaches specifically for Central Florida homes.
Over 100 five-star Google reviews reflect our commitment to getting results the first time. We’re state-certified, answer calls 24/7, and provide most quotes right over the phone. Military families and new homeowners receive special discounts because we believe everyone deserves a pest-free home.
First, we inspect your home to identify where fleas are breeding and hiding. Most people are surprised to learn that fleas spend most of their lives in carpet, not on pets. We look for the real problem areas.
Next, we treat both indoor and outdoor spaces with professional-grade products. Indoor treatment targets carpets, furniture, and pet bedding where eggs and larvae develop. Outdoor treatment focuses on shaded areas where your pets spend time.
We use insect growth regulators that stop flea development for months. This breaks the breeding cycle completely. Adult fleas die quickly, but the IGR prevents new generations from emerging. You’ll see results within 24-48 hours, with continued improvement over the following weeks.

Your flea control service includes comprehensive indoor and outdoor treatment. We target carpeted areas, upholstery, pet bedding, and the cracks where fleas hide. Outdoor treatment covers your yard’s shaded areas where fleas develop away from direct sunlight.
In Dade City North, sandy soil and frequent rain create ideal flea breeding conditions. Our yard treatments penetrate the soil where flea larvae feed on organic matter. We also treat areas under decks, porches, and around outdoor furniture where pets rest.
Pet-safe products ensure your furry family members stay protected throughout treatment. We coordinate timing so pets can return to treated areas safely. Many clients see dramatic improvement in their pets’ comfort within the first week. Follow-up treatments ensure complete elimination and prevent re-infestation during Florida’s active flea season.
You’ll see adult fleas dying within 24-48 hours of treatment. However, complete elimination takes 2-4 weeks because of the flea life cycle.
Fleas in pupal stage are protected by cocoons and can’t be killed by insecticides. These pupae emerge over 2-3 weeks after treatment. The good news is they immediately contact the insect growth regulator we applied and die before reproducing. This is why professional treatment works when DIY methods fail—we account for the entire flea biology, not just the adults you see jumping around.
Regular fleas don’t actually live in sand, but Florida has sand fleas (beach hoppers) that are different pests entirely. True fleas prefer organic matter in soil, especially in shaded, moist areas of your yard.
In Dade City North’s sandy soil, regular fleas develop in areas with organic debris—under bushes, around pet areas, and in mulched landscaping. Sand fleas are coastal crustaceans that bite but don’t infest homes like regular fleas. If you’re dealing with jumping, biting insects in your carpet and on your pets, those are regular fleas that need comprehensive indoor/outdoor treatment.
Professional treatment eliminates 95% of fleas living in your environment, while DIY methods typically only address the 5% you see on pets. Most store-bought products can’t penetrate carpet padding where flea larvae develop.
Professional equipment applies products at the right concentration and coverage. We use insect growth regulators that aren’t available to consumers—these prevent flea development for 3-6 months. DIY methods require constant reapplication and rarely break the breeding cycle completely. That’s why many people try multiple DIY approaches before calling us. The investment in professional treatment often costs less than months of repeated DIY attempts.
Effective carpet flea elimination requires heat, penetration, and growth regulation that only professional equipment provides. Vacuuming helps but can’t reach flea pupae in protective cocoons deep in carpet fibers.
Professional hot water extraction reaches temperatures above 180°F, instantly killing fleas at all life stages. Our truck-mounted equipment provides 10-20 times more suction than rental cleaners, physically removing eggs and larvae from carpet padding. We follow with targeted insecticide application and insect growth regulators. This comprehensive approach eliminates current fleas and prevents new generations for months.
Yes, pet treatment is essential for complete flea control. About 95% of fleas live in your environment, but the 5% on your pets keep reproducing if not addressed simultaneously.
Coordinate with your veterinarian for appropriate flea prevention products. Topical treatments, oral medications, or flea collars work well alongside professional home treatment. We time our service so pets can safely return to treated areas. Some clients prefer to board pets during initial treatment, but it’s not necessary with our pet-safe products. The key is treating pets and environment together—doing only one allows rapid re-infestation.
Professional flea control typically ranges from $200-500 for initial treatment, depending on your home’s size and infestation severity. This includes both indoor and outdoor treatment with follow-up visits if needed.
Most clients find professional treatment costs less than months of DIY attempts that don’t work completely. We provide quotes over the phone after discussing your specific situation. Military families and new homeowners receive discounts. The investment pays off through faster results, guaranteed effectiveness, and prevention of re-infestation. Many companies offer warranties, so if fleas return within the guarantee period, follow-up treatment is included.
