You’ll notice fewer fleas biting within 24-48 hours of our treatment. But here’s what matters more—we eliminate the eggs and larvae hiding in your carpets and furniture that DIY sprays can’t touch.
Most flea problems in Trilcoochee aren’t just about the fleas you see. They’re about the 95% you don’t see—eggs, larvae, and pupae waiting to hatch. Our commercial-grade treatments break this cycle completely.
Your pets stop scratching. Your family stops getting bitten. Your home becomes the comfortable space it should be, without the constant worry of fleas coming back.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been protecting Trilcoochee families from fleas and other pests for years. As a family-owned business, you work directly with the owner—not a call center or rotating technicians.
We understand the unique challenges of flea control in Florida’s year-round warm climate. From the rural properties near Green Swamp to homes closer to Dade City, we’ve seen how quickly fleas can multiply in our humid environment.
Over 100 five-star Google reviews reflect our commitment to honest service, transparent pricing, and treatments that actually work the first time.
First, we inspect your home and yard to identify where fleas are hiding and breeding. This includes areas most homeowners miss—under furniture, in carpet fibers, and outdoor spaces where pets spend time.
Next, we apply commercial-grade treatments that target adult fleas, eggs, larvae, and pupae simultaneously. Unlike store-bought sprays, our products include insect growth regulators that prevent fleas from reproducing.
We schedule follow-up treatments 10-14 days apart to catch any remaining fleas as they emerge from cocoons. Most infestations require 2-3 treatments for complete elimination, but we guarantee results until your flea problem is completely resolved.

Our flea control service covers your entire property—inside and out. We treat carpets, upholstery, pet bedding, baseboards, and all the hidden areas where fleas develop.
For Trilcoochee’s rural properties, we also address outdoor flea sources. This includes treating yards, porches, and areas under structures where wildlife might bring fleas onto your property. Even homes without pets can have flea problems from raccoons, squirrels, or other animals.
We use only pet-safe, EPA-approved products applied by state-certified technicians. You’ll receive clear instructions on preparation and when it’s safe for your family and pets to return to treated areas.
You’ll see significant reduction in adult flea activity within 24-48 hours of our initial treatment. However, complete elimination typically takes 2-3 treatments spaced 10-14 days apart.
This timeline exists because flea pupae (cocoons) are resistant to most insecticides. As these cocoons hatch over the following weeks, our follow-up treatments eliminate newly emerged fleas before they can reproduce. The entire process usually takes 3-6 weeks for complete control, depending on the severity of your infestation.
Store-bought flea products typically only kill adult fleas—about 5% of the total flea population. The remaining 95% consists of eggs, larvae, and pupae hiding deep in carpets, furniture, and cracks where DIY sprays can’t reach.
Professional treatments use commercial-grade insecticides combined with insect growth regulators that target all life stages simultaneously. We also have specialized equipment to ensure thorough coverage in areas homeowners typically miss. Most importantly, we understand the timing required to break the flea lifecycle completely.
Absolutely. Fleas commonly infest pet-free homes in Trilcoochee through wildlife like raccoons, squirrels, bats, or roof rats that nest in or around buildings.
These animals can drop fleas in attics, crawl spaces, or yard areas. Once established, fleas can survive for months waiting for a blood meal. This is particularly common in rural areas of Trilcoochee where wildlife is more prevalent. We treat many homes where residents are puzzled by flea problems despite having no pets.
Yes, when applied by licensed professionals following EPA guidelines. We use only registered, pet-safe products and provide clear instructions for temporary evacuation periods—usually 2-4 hours depending on the treatment type.
Our state-certified technicians follow strict safety protocols to minimize exposure while maximizing effectiveness. We’ll explain exactly what products we’re using, how long to stay away from treated areas, and what precautions to take. Your family’s safety is our top priority throughout the entire process.
The most common flea in Trilcoochee is actually the cat flea, which affects both cats and dogs. True “sand fleas” are usually sand flies or beach-dwelling crustaceans, not the fleas infesting your home.
However, fleas can certainly live in sandy soil around your property, especially in shaded areas where pets rest. Our treatment approach remains the same—we target the complete flea lifecycle both indoors and in outdoor areas where fleas develop. The key is identifying all breeding sites, whether they’re in carpet fibers or sandy spots in your yard.
Most residential flea treatments in Trilcoochee range from $150-$350 for initial service, with follow-up treatments typically costing less. The exact price depends on your home’s size, severity of infestation, and specific treatment requirements.
As a family-owned business, we provide honest quotes over the phone based on your specific situation. We don’t believe in surprise fees or high-pressure sales tactics. Most customers find professional treatment costs less than repeatedly buying ineffective DIY products, and the results are guaranteed to last.
