You’ll notice the difference within days, but the real victory comes weeks later when there’s no return of the problem. No more constant scratching from your pets. No more itchy bites on your ankles. No more embarrassment when guests come over.
That’s because we target the entire flea lifecycle—not just the adults you can see. The eggs hiding in your carpet fibers, the larvae developing in dark corners, and the pupae waiting to emerge all get eliminated with our comprehensive approach.
Your pets can finally rest comfortably, and you can walk barefoot through your home again without worry.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been solving flea problems for families throughout Hernando County and neighboring Florida areas. As a family-run business, you work directly with the owner—not a rotating cast of technicians who don’t know your situation.
We’ve earned over 100 five-star Google reviews by doing what other companies won’t: answering every call personally, responding within 24 hours, and treating your home like it’s our own. Our state certifications and years of Florida experience mean we understand exactly how fleas behave in Jasmine Estates’ warm, humid climate.
When you call us, you’re getting honest communication, transparent pricing, and someone who actually cares about solving your problem permanently.
First, we inspect your entire property—inside and outside—to identify where fleas are breeding and hiding. This isn’t a quick walkthrough; we’re looking for the specific areas where your pets spend time, moisture problems, and the shaded outdoor spots where fleas develop.
Next comes the treatment itself. We use professional-grade products that target fleas at every stage of development: insect growth regulators that prevent eggs and larvae from maturing, residual treatments that eliminate adults, and targeted applications in the areas where fleas actually live—not just where you see them.
The outdoor treatment is just as important. We treat your yard’s shaded areas, under decks, and anywhere your pets frequent to create a protective barrier that stops fleas from being tracked back inside.
Finally, we schedule follow-up visits because flea elimination takes time. Pupae can emerge weeks after the initial treatment, and we make sure they don’t restart the cycle.
Ready to get started?
Your flea control service covers both indoor and outdoor areas because fleas don’t respect boundaries. Inside, we treat carpets, rugs, pet bedding areas, furniture, and baseboards where fleas hide and develop. We use pet-safe products that won’t harm your family while being lethal to fleas.
Outside, we focus on the shaded, moist areas where fleas thrive in Jasmine Estates’ climate. Under porches, around air conditioning units, in mulched areas, and anywhere your pets spend time outdoors gets treated to break the cycle at its source.
In Florida’s year-round flea season, timing matters. That’s why we offer same-day service when possible and always respond within 24 hours. We also provide follow-up treatments as needed because effective flea control requires patience and persistence—something DIY approaches rarely deliver.
Every treatment comes with clear instructions on what you can do to support the process, like regular vacuuming and coordinating with your veterinarian for pet treatments.
You’ll start seeing dead fleas within 24-48 hours, but complete elimination typically takes 2-4 weeks. This isn’t because our treatment is slow—it’s because of the flea lifecycle.
When we treat your home, we kill all the adult fleas and larvae immediately. However, flea pupae (the cocoon stage) are naturally protected from treatments. These pupae can emerge as adults for up to 3 weeks after treatment, which is why you might see new fleas during this period.
The good news is that these newly emerged fleas will die quickly when they contact our residual treatment. This is normal and expected, not a sign that the treatment failed.
Yes, we use EPA-approved products specifically designed to be safe around families and pets when applied correctly. Our treatments target fleas without creating health risks for your loved ones.
We’ll provide specific instructions about any temporary precautions, like keeping pets off treated carpets until they’re dry (usually 2-4 hours). Most of our treatments allow normal family activity to resume the same day.
The bigger safety concern is actually leaving fleas untreated. Fleas can transmit diseases, cause allergic reactions, and in severe cases, cause anemia in small pets from blood loss.
True sand fleas are actually different from the fleas that infest homes and pets—they’re small crustaceans that live on beaches and don’t typically cause home infestations. However, regular fleas can absolutely live in sandy soil around your Jasmine Estates home if conditions are right.
Fleas need organic matter to survive, so they’re more likely to thrive in sandy soil that has pet waste, decaying vegetation, or moisture. They prefer shaded areas under porches, decks, or landscaping rather than open, sunny sand.
This is why our outdoor treatment focuses on these specific microenvironments rather than treating your entire yard. We target the areas where fleas actually develop, which is more effective and environmentally responsible.
Professional treatments use products and application methods that aren’t available to consumers. We have access to insect growth regulators that prevent flea development, residual treatments that keep working for weeks, and the knowledge to apply them where they’ll be most effective.
More importantly, we understand flea biology. DIY treatments often focus on killing adult fleas, which represent only about 5% of the total flea population in your home. The other 95% are eggs, larvae, and pupae hiding in carpets, cracks, and outdoor areas.
We also coordinate the timing of treatments with the flea lifecycle, something that’s nearly impossible to do correctly without professional knowledge. One mistimed application can allow the cycle to restart.
You should coordinate pet treatment with your veterinarian both before and during our professional treatment. Treating your pets is essential because they’re often how fleas enter your home in the first place.
We recommend starting vet-prescribed flea prevention before our visit if possible. This ensures that any fleas on your pets are eliminated and prevents them from laying new eggs during our treatment process.
However, don’t delay professional home treatment waiting for pet treatments to work. Environmental control (treating your home and yard) and pet treatment work together—neither is fully effective alone. We’ll coordinate with your timeline to ensure both approaches support each other.
Flea treatment costs depend on your home’s size, the severity of the infestation, and whether you need both indoor and outdoor treatment. Most residential treatments in Jasmine Estates range from $200-500 for initial service, with potential follow-up visits included.
We provide honest quotes over the phone in most cases, so you’ll know the investment before we arrive. As a family-owned business, we’re not trying to oversell you—we want to solve your problem efficiently and affordably.
Consider that effective flea control saves money long-term. DIY attempts often cost $100+ in products that don’t work, plus the ongoing cost of replacing pet bedding, carpet cleaning, and veterinary bills for flea-related health issues. Professional treatment typically resolves the problem permanently with one comprehensive approach.
