You’re dealing with more than just a few fleas. In Wiscon’s warm, humid climate, these pests reproduce continuously, turning a small problem into a major infestation fast. Professional flea control breaks this cycle completely.
Within 24-48 hours of treatment, you’ll see a dramatic reduction in adult flea activity. But here’s what matters more: our approach targets eggs, larvae, and pupae hiding in your carpets, furniture, and pet bedding. That’s how you stop the cycle that keeps bringing them back.
Your pets get relief from constant scratching and biting. Your family stops worrying about flea-borne diseases and allergic reactions. You get your home back.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been solving flea problems in Wiscon and surrounding Hernando County communities for over 14 years. We’re a family-owned business that understands Florida’s unique pest challenges.
George, our owner-operator, personally handles your service calls. No rotating technicians, no corporate runaround. When you call, you get direct access to the person who knows your property and your specific flea situation.
We’re BBB accredited, fully licensed by the Florida Department of Agriculture, and available seven days a week. Because flea problems don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
First, we inspect your entire property to locate flea activity hotspots. Indoor areas like pet bedding, carpets, and furniture get special attention, along with outdoor spaces where your pets spend time.
Next, we apply professional-grade treatments that target all flea life stages simultaneously. Adult fleas die quickly, while insect growth regulators prevent eggs and larvae from maturing. This dual approach is what breaks the reproductive cycle.
We schedule follow-up treatments 10-14 days apart to catch any emerging fleas. Most severe infestations require 2-3 treatments over 30 days for complete elimination. You’ll see immediate improvement, but patience during the full process ensures long-term success.

Your flea control service covers comprehensive indoor and outdoor treatment. We treat carpets, rugs, pet bedding, furniture, baseboards, and all areas where fleas hide and reproduce.
Outdoor treatment focuses on shaded areas under decks, porches, and landscaping where fleas thrive in Wiscon’s humid environment. We also treat pet resting areas and pathways your animals use regularly.
All treatments use pet-safe, family-friendly products. You’ll receive specific instructions for preparation and post-treatment care. We coordinate timing around your schedule and provide clear communication throughout the entire process.
Complete flea elimination typically takes 2-3 treatments spaced 10-14 days apart, spanning about 30 days total for severe infestations. You’ll see immediate reduction in adult flea activity within 24-48 hours of the first treatment.
However, you may notice some flea activity for 7-14 days after initial treatment. These are pupae that were resistant to the first application and are now emerging into the treated environment. This is normal and expected – they’ll die quickly upon contact with our residual products.
The timing is crucial because it aligns with the flea life cycle. Rushing the process or skipping follow-up treatments often leads to reinfestation, which is why we space treatments strategically rather than trying to solve everything in one visit.
Yes, our flea treatments are specifically designed to be safe for pets and families while remaining lethal to fleas. We use EPA-approved products and follow strict application protocols to ensure your pets’ safety.
During treatment, you’ll need to remove pets from treated areas for a few hours until surfaces dry completely. We’ll provide specific timing based on the products used and environmental conditions. Most pets can return to treated areas within 4-6 hours.
We also coordinate with your veterinarian’s flea prevention program. Professional environmental treatment works best when combined with regular pet treatments, creating a comprehensive approach that protects your animals while eliminating the infestation in your home.
DIY treatments typically target only adult fleas, which represent just 5% of the total flea population. The remaining 95% – eggs, larvae, and pupae – continue developing in your carpets, furniture, and pet bedding, leading to continuous reinfestation.
Store-bought products also lack the residual power needed for Florida’s year-round flea season. Our humid climate allows fleas to reproduce continuously, unlike colder regions where winter provides natural population control. Over-the-counter treatments simply can’t match the duration and effectiveness of professional-grade insecticides.
Most importantly, DIY approaches miss critical application areas. Fleas hide in furniture crevices, carpet padding, and outdoor spaces that require specialized equipment and techniques to reach effectively. Without treating these hidden areas, the infestation cycle continues regardless of how many adult fleas you kill.
True fleas don’t typically live in sand, but Florida’s coastal areas do have sand fleas, which are actually small crustaceans, not insects. These “beach hoppers” can cause bites but are different from the cat and dog fleas infesting your home.
However, regular fleas thrive in sandy soil areas around your property, especially in shaded, humid spots under decks, porches, and landscaping. These areas provide ideal conditions for flea larvae development, particularly where pets rest or travel regularly.
Our outdoor treatment specifically targets these sandy, shaded areas where fleas develop before entering your home. We also treat pathways and pet areas to create a protective barrier, preventing outdoor flea populations from establishing themselves near your living spaces.
Professional flea treatment typically ranges from $150-350 per service, depending on your home’s size and infestation severity. Most properties require 2-3 treatments for complete elimination, making the total investment $300-600 for comprehensive flea control.
This cost includes professional-grade insecticides, insect growth regulators, and specialized application equipment that aren’t available to consumers. When you consider the time, repeated product purchases, and frustration of failed DIY attempts, professional treatment often costs less overall.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Military families and new homeowners receive special discounts. We also offer free quotes and can discuss payment options that work with your budget while ensuring your family gets the relief you need.
Vacuum all carpeted areas thoroughly before treatment, paying special attention to pet resting areas. This removes adult fleas, eggs, and debris while stimulating pupae to emerge, making the treatment more effective. Dispose of vacuum contents immediately in identifyed bags.
Wash all pet bedding, removable fabric items, and family linens in hot water. Remove pets, fish tanks, and bird cages from treatment areas. Cover or remove food items and turn off aquarium pumps during application.
We’ll provide a detailed preparation checklist specific to your home and treatment plan. Most preparation takes 1-2 hours and significantly improves treatment effectiveness. We’re available to answer questions and help you prepare properly for the best possible results.
