You’ll finally sleep without worrying about flea bites on your ankles. Your pets will stop that constant scratching that keeps everyone awake. Your carpets and furniture become safe spaces again instead of flea breeding grounds.
Most homeowners in Land O’ Lakes, FL discover that Florida’s warm, humid climate creates perfect conditions for fleas year-round. These pests multiply fast—going from egg to adult in just 15 days. That’s why you can seem flea-free one day and have a full infestation the next.
Professional flea control in Land O’ Lakes, FL eliminates the entire flea lifecycle, not just the adults you can see. You get your home back without the frustration of failed DIY attempts.
We’ve been protecting Land O’ Lakes, FL families from flea infestations for years at Around The Clock Pest Service. As a family-run business, you work directly with the owner—not a rotating cast of technicians who don’t know your property.
We answer our phones 24/7, even on weekends. Most quotes happen over the phone because we understand you need answers now, not next week. Our state certifications and over 100 five-star Google reviews reflect our commitment to getting flea problems solved right the first time.
Land O’ Lakes residents deal with unique pest challenges due to proximity to lakes and Florida’s subtropical climate. We know exactly how fleas behave in this environment and what it takes to eliminate them permanently.
First, we perform a thorough inspection to determine the extent of your flea infestation. We check carpets, furniture, pet areas, and outdoor spaces where fleas typically hide and breed. This tells us exactly what we’re dealing with.
Next, we treat your entire home using professional-grade products that target all flea lifecycle stages—eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. DIY sprays only kill adult fleas, which is why they fail. We eliminate the entire population.
We also treat outdoor areas where your pets spend time, because indoor treatment without outdoor treatment is like trying to fill a bucket with holes in it. Your pets must receive veterinarian-approved flea treatment at the same time, or the infestation will return.
Finally, we provide follow-up service to ensure complete elimination. Fleas are persistent, but our systematic approach breaks their lifecycle permanently.

Your flea control service includes comprehensive indoor treatment of all carpeted areas, furniture, pet bedding, and hiding spots where fleas lay eggs. We use pet-safe products that won’t harm your family but eliminate fleas effectively.
Outdoor treatment covers your yard, especially shaded, moist areas where fleas thrive in Land O’ Lakes’ humid climate. We target areas under porches, in tall grass, and around pet areas where fleas typically breed.
Professional flea fogging reaches areas that regular spraying can’t penetrate. This ensures we eliminate fleas hiding in carpet fibers, furniture crevices, and other hard-to-reach spots throughout your home.
You also receive prevention guidance specific to Land O’ Lakes, FL conditions. We explain how Florida’s year-round warm weather affects flea populations and provide tips to prevent future infestations. Military families and new homeowners receive special discount pricing.
Most flea treatments in Land O’ Lakes, FL take 2-4 hours depending on your home’s size and infestation severity. The actual treatment time is just part of the process though.
You’ll need to vacuum thoroughly before we arrive and remove pets during treatment. After treatment, you should stay out of treated areas for 2-4 hours while products dry. Complete flea elimination typically takes 2-3 weeks as we break the entire flea lifecycle, not just kill visible adults.
We schedule follow-up visits as needed because Florida’s climate means fleas can be particularly persistent. Most homeowners see dramatic improvement within the first week.
Regular household fleas don’t actually live in sand—they prefer moist, shaded areas with organic matter like grass, leaves, and pet areas. However, Land O’ Lakes residents often confuse “sand fleas” with regular fleas.
True sand fleas are actually small crustaceans found at beaches that don’t infest homes or pets. The fleas causing problems in your Land O’ Lakes home are likely cat fleas or dog fleas that thrive in Florida’s humid climate.
These household fleas do love sandy, shaded spots in your yard though—especially areas under decks, in tall grass, or where pets rest. That’s why our outdoor treatment focuses on these specific microenvironments around your property.
DIY flea treatments fail because they only kill adult fleas—about 5% of the total flea population. The other 95% are eggs, larvae, and pupae hiding in your carpets and furniture, continuing the lifecycle.
Florida’s warm, humid climate makes this problem worse because fleas can complete their lifecycle in just 15 days here, compared to months in cooler climates. By the time you see adult fleas, you already have a major infestation developing.
Store-bought sprays also can’t penetrate deep into carpet fibers where flea eggs and larvae hide. Professional equipment and products reach these areas effectively. Plus, without treating outdoor areas simultaneously, you’re fighting a losing battle as new fleas keep entering from your yard.
Vacuum all carpeted areas, furniture, and pet bedding thoroughly before we arrive. This removes flea eggs and debris while creating vibrations that cause flea pupae to emerge, making treatment more effective.
Remove or cover fish tanks, bird cages, and sensitive items. Wash pet bedding in hot water and have pets treated by your veterinarian on the same day as home treatment—this timing is critical for success.
Clear floor areas so we can access baseboards, under furniture, and other hiding spots. Open curtains and blinds to help treated areas dry properly. Plan to keep pets and family members out of treated areas for 2-4 hours after service.
Professional flea fogging creates tiny particles that penetrate deep into carpet fibers, furniture cushions, and cracks where regular spraying can’t reach. This is crucial because flea eggs and larvae hide in these protected areas.
The fog particles stay suspended longer, providing extended contact time with fleas and their eggs. This means better elimination rates compared to liquid sprays that may not reach all hiding spots effectively.
In Land O’ Lakes’ humid climate, fogging also helps products adhere better to surfaces and provides more uniform coverage throughout your home. Combined with targeted spray applications, fogging ensures we eliminate fleas from every possible hiding spot.
Most Land O’ Lakes homes need one comprehensive flea treatment with a follow-up visit 2-3 weeks later to catch any remaining fleas from eggs that hatched after initial treatment. Florida’s climate means fleas can be more persistent than in other states.
Homes with multiple pets or severe infestations may require additional treatments. However, with proper preparation and simultaneous pet treatment, most flea problems resolve within 3-4 weeks.
For prevention, quarterly pest control service helps prevent new flea infestations before they start. This is especially valuable in Land O’ Lakes because our warm, humid climate means flea season essentially lasts year-round, unlike northern climates where cold weather provides natural population control.
