You’re tired of watching your pets scratch constantly while flea bites show up on your family’s legs. Those store-bought sprays aren’t working because they’re only killing the adult fleas you can see.
The real problem is hiding in your carpets. Ninety-five percent of your flea population is living as eggs, larvae, and pupae deep in carpet fibers, pet bedding, and furniture cracks where DIY treatments can’t reach them.
Professional flea control eliminates the entire lifecycle. You’ll see fewer adult fleas within the first week, and complete elimination typically takes 4-6 weeks as our treatments target every stage of development. Your pets stop scratching, your family stops getting bitten, and you can finally relax in your own home again.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been protecting Brooksville families from fleas for over 14 years. As a family-owned business, you work directly with the owner who understands exactly what you’re dealing with.
Florida’s year-round flea season means these pests never really go away. From April through September, they’re at peak activity, but our warm, humid climate keeps them breeding even in winter months. We’ve seen how quickly a small problem becomes a major infestation when Brooksville homeowners try to handle it alone.
Our state-certified technicians know which treatments work in Florida’s unique environment and which ones waste your time and money.
First, we inspect your property to locate where fleas are breeding and hiding. This includes carpeted areas, pet sleeping spots, furniture, and outdoor areas where your pets spend time.
Next, we apply professional-grade treatments that target all life stages. Our indoor applications use insect growth regulators that prevent flea eggs and larvae from developing into biting adults. We treat carpets, upholstery, pet bedding areas, and cracks where fleas hide.
For outdoor treatment, we focus on shaded areas under porches, bushes, and anywhere your pets rest outside. These areas stay moist and provide perfect flea breeding grounds that need professional attention.
Follow-up treatments ensure complete elimination as dormant pupae emerge over the next few weeks. We’ll guide you through simple steps like regular vacuuming that help speed up the process and prevent future infestations.

Our residential flea treatment covers your entire property, inside and out. We treat carpets, rugs, upholstered furniture, pet bedding, and all the hidden spots where flea eggs develop into biting adults.
Brooksville’s sandy soil and humid climate create perfect conditions for fleas year-round. Many homeowners think sand fleas from nearby beaches are the problem, but household fleas are actually the bigger concern for your pets and family.
We use pet-safe treatments that won’t harm your dogs, cats, or children while eliminating fleas at every stage of development. Our professional fogging reaches areas that sprays and powders miss, ensuring complete coverage throughout your home.
Outdoor treatment focuses on your yard’s shaded, moist areas where fleas thrive. We treat under decks, around bushes, and in tall grass areas where your pets pick up new fleas that restart the cycle.
Complete flea elimination typically takes 4-6 weeks with proper professional treatment. You’ll see a significant reduction in adult fleas within the first week as our treatments kill existing adults and prevent new ones from developing.
The timeline depends on how established the infestation is and how many pets you have. Fleas go through four life stages, and pupae can remain dormant for weeks before emerging as adults. Our treatments target every stage, but it takes time for the entire population to cycle through and contact the treated surfaces.
Don’t panic if you see some fleas 7-14 days after treatment. This actually means the treatment is working as dormant pupae emerge and immediately contact our residual applications.
True sand fleas are different from the fleas infesting your home and pets. Sand fleas are actually small crustaceans that live in beach sand and don’t infest homes or attach to pets long-term.
The fleas bothering your family are cat fleas, which thrive in Florida’s warm, humid environment year-round. They prefer moist, shaded areas like under porches, in tall grass, and around bushes rather than dry sand.
Your yard’s sandy soil can harbor flea eggs and larvae if it stays moist from sprinklers or rain. These develop in organic debris and pet waste, not in pure sand. Professional treatment targets these actual breeding areas rather than focusing on sand that isn’t the real problem.
DIY treatments only kill the adult fleas you can see, which represent just 5% of your total flea population. The other 95% are eggs, larvae, and pupae hiding in carpets and furniture where store-bought sprays can’t reach them effectively.
Professional treatments use insect growth regulators that prevent immature fleas from developing into biting adults. We have access to products that remain active for months, breaking the reproduction cycle completely rather than just killing a few adults.
Our application equipment ensures treatments penetrate deep into carpet backing and furniture where flea larvae actually live and develop. DIY foggers treat air space but deliver poor coverage to these critical areas where the real infestation lives.
Carpet holds 95% of your home’s flea population as eggs, larvae, and pupae develop in the fibers. Regular vacuuming helps by removing some eggs and larvae while stimulating dormant pupae to emerge sooner.
Professional carpet treatment uses specialized sprays that wick down to the carpet backing where flea larvae actually live. These treatments combine adulticides for immediate adult kill with insect growth regulators that prevent development of immature stages.
Steam cleaning can help but may also cause more pupae to emerge if not combined with professional chemical treatment. The heat kills some fleas but creates humid conditions that can encourage remaining eggs to hatch faster than you can eliminate them.
Yes, our professional flea treatments are specifically designed to be safe for homes with pets and children. We use EPA-registered products that target fleas while maintaining safety for your family.
The key is proper application and allowing treated areas to dry completely before pets return. We’ll provide specific instructions about keeping pets away from treated areas during application and drying time, usually just a few hours.
Professional treatments are actually safer than repeatedly using over-the-counter products that often require frequent reapplication. Our single professional application eliminates fleas for months rather than exposing your pets to weekly DIY treatments that don’t solve the problem.
Call for professional flea fogging when you’re seeing adult fleas jumping on furniture, carpets, or your pets despite using store-bought treatments. This indicates a well-established infestation that needs professional intervention.
Professional fogging is most effective when combined with targeted sprays and growth regulators. The fog treats air space and reaches cracks where fleas hide, while sprays penetrate carpet backing where larvae develop.
If your pets are on flea prevention but you’re still seeing fleas in your home, the environment needs professional treatment. Fogging alone won’t solve the problem, but as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, it ensures complete coverage throughout your Brooksville home.
