No more waking up to flea bites on your ankles. No more watching your pets scratch themselves raw. No more embarrassment when guests notice fleas jumping on your furniture.
When we finish treating your Gulf Pine home, you get your peace of mind back. Your pets stop the constant scratching and can finally rest comfortably. Your kids can play on the carpet without getting bitten.
The difference is that we don’t just kill the fleas you can see—we target the eggs, larvae, and pupae hiding in your carpets and furniture that make up 95% of the actual flea population. That’s why our treatments work when DIY methods fail.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been protecting Gulf Pine families from flea infestations for years. As a family-owned business, you work directly with the owner—not a rotating cast of technicians who don’t know your property.
We understand Gulf Pine’s unique challenges. Florida’s year-round warmth and humidity create perfect conditions for fleas to thrive, which is why store-bought treatments rarely work here. Our state-certified technicians know exactly how to break the flea lifecycle in our climate.
When you call, you get a real person who answers 24/7, even on weekends. Most quotes are provided right over the phone because we believe in transparent, honest service that respects your time.
First, we inspect your Gulf Pine property to identify where fleas are breeding and hiding. This includes checking pet areas, carpets, furniture, and outdoor spaces where your pets spend time.
Next, we apply professional-grade treatments that target adult fleas, eggs, larvae, and pupae simultaneously. Unlike over-the-counter products that only kill adult fleas, our treatments use insect growth regulators to prevent the next generation from developing.
We treat both indoor and outdoor areas because fleas often live in your yard and get tracked inside. This includes shaded areas under decks, landscaping beds, and anywhere your pets rest outside.
Finally, we schedule follow-up treatments timed to the flea lifecycle. Because some pupae are resistant to treatment, we return to eliminate any newly emerged fleas before they can reproduce. This is what breaks the cycle permanently.

Our residential flea treatment in Gulf Pine includes comprehensive indoor and outdoor application. We treat carpets, furniture, pet bedding areas, and all the hidden spots where flea larvae develop.
For Gulf Pine’s sandy soil conditions, we pay special attention to outdoor treatment. Fleas thrive in the shaded, humid areas common in our region—under porches, in landscaping beds, and around outdoor pet areas. We treat these zones to prevent reinfestations.
Pet owners get specialized guidance on coordinating our treatments with veterinary flea prevention. We work around your pets’ schedules and use pet-safe application methods throughout your home.
Every treatment includes our service guarantee. If fleas return between scheduled visits, we come back at no additional charge. That’s how confident we are in our Gulf Pine flea control methods.
Most flea treatments in Gulf Pine take 2-4 hours depending on your home size and the severity of the infestation. We treat both indoor and outdoor areas in a single visit.
However, complete flea elimination typically requires 2-3 treatments spaced 10-14 days apart. This timing matches the flea lifecycle—we need to catch newly emerged fleas before they can reproduce. Because Florida’s climate allows fleas to develop year-round, this follow-up schedule is essential for permanent results.
You’ll start seeing fewer adult fleas within 24-48 hours of treatment, but some activity may continue for up to two weeks as pupae emerge from their cocoons.
Yes, fleas can absolutely survive in Gulf Pine’s sandy soil throughout the year. Florida’s warm, humid climate means there’s no true “flea season”—they remain active even during our mild winters.
Sandy soil actually provides good drainage while retaining enough moisture for flea larvae to develop. Areas under decks, around landscaping, and anywhere your pets rest outside can harbor flea populations. The sand doesn’t kill fleas; it just gives them a different environment to breed in.
This is why outdoor treatment is crucial for Gulf Pine homes. We treat these sandy areas with specialized products that penetrate the soil and eliminate fleas at all lifecycle stages.
DIY treatments fail because they only target adult fleas, which represent just 5% of the total flea population. The other 95%—eggs, larvae, and pupae—continue developing in your carpets, furniture, and outdoor areas.
Store-bought sprays and foggers don’t contain insect growth regulators that prevent larvae from maturing. In Florida’s year-round breeding conditions, new fleas emerge constantly. Without professional-grade products that disrupt the entire lifecycle, you’re fighting a losing battle.
Additionally, most homeowners miss the hidden areas where fleas actually breed: deep in carpet fibers, furniture crevices, and outdoor spaces. Professional treatments reach these areas with specialized equipment and application techniques that DIY methods simply can’t match.
We coordinate our treatment with your veterinary flea prevention to create a comprehensive approach. Our products are specifically chosen to be safe around pets when applied correctly by licensed technicians.
During treatment, we typically ask you to keep pets out of treated areas until surfaces are dry—usually 2-4 hours. We focus heavily on pet resting areas, bedding zones, and favorite hiding spots where fleas concentrate.
We also treat outdoor areas where your pets spend time, creating a protective barrier that prevents new fleas from entering your home. The key is treating both the environment and working with your vet to treat your pets simultaneously. One without the other rarely succeeds in Florida’s challenging climate.
Our Gulf Pine flea control includes complete interior treatment of all carpeted areas, furniture, pet zones, and hiding spots. We also treat exterior areas including yards, under decks, landscaping beds, and anywhere fleas might breed outdoors.
Each service includes professional-grade insecticides and growth regulators that target all flea lifecycle stages. We provide detailed preparation instructions and post-treatment guidance to maximize effectiveness.
Follow-up treatments are scheduled based on the flea lifecycle, typically 10-14 days apart. If fleas return between scheduled visits, we come back at no charge. You also get direct access to the owner for questions or concerns—no phone trees or callbacks required.
Flea extermination costs in Gulf Pine typically range from $150-400 for initial treatment, depending on your home size and infestation severity. Most properties require 2-3 treatments for complete elimination.
We provide most quotes over the phone after discussing your specific situation. This saves you time and gives you transparent pricing upfront. Factors affecting cost include square footage, outdoor treatment areas, and follow-up visit requirements.
While professional treatment costs more than DIY methods initially, it’s often more cost-effective long-term. Failed DIY attempts, repeated product purchases, and the time spent dealing with ongoing infestations usually exceed professional treatment costs—plus you get guaranteed results and your peace of mind back faster.
