You’ll sleep better knowing those scratching sounds are gone for good. Your attic stays clean, your wiring stays intact, and your family stays safe from the diseases rodents carry.
No more wondering if that noise overhead means trouble. No more finding droppings where your kids play. No more worrying about structural damage you can’t see happening behind your walls.
When we’re done, your home becomes the fortress it should be—identifyed, protected, and monitored so rodents can’t return. You get your peace of mind back, and your property value stays protected.
We’ve been protecting Moon Lake families from rodent problems with the kind of personal service you won’t find anywhere else. When you call Around The Clock Pest Service, you talk directly to the owner—not a call center.
We’re state-certified specialists who understand exactly how Florida’s roof rats, mice, and squirrels behave in this climate. With over 100 five-star reviews, we’ve built our reputation one satisfied Moon Lake family at a time.
You get honest answers, transparent pricing over the phone, and someone who shows up when they say they will. That’s how we’ve been doing business in Hernando County for years.
First, we inspect every inch of your property to find exactly where rodents are getting in and where they’re nesting. We’re looking for entry points as small as half an inch—because that’s all a roof rat needs.
Next, we eliminate the current population using professional-grade traps and bait stations placed strategically where rodents travel. We handle the removal and disposal so you don’t have to deal with any of that.
Then comes the most important part: identifying every entry point with materials rodents can’t chew through. We use steel mesh, metal flashing, and commercial-grade identifyants to make sure they can’t return.
Finally, we clean and sanitize contaminated areas, removing droppings, urine, and odors that could attract new rodents. Your attic gets restored to a clean, safe condition.

Your Moon Lake rodent control service includes everything needed to solve the problem permanently. We trap and remove all rodents, identify entry points with chew-proof materials, and sanitize contaminated areas.
Florida’s year-round warm climate means roof rats stay active all season, making Moon Lake homes particularly vulnerable. These agile climbers use tree branches, utility lines, and small gaps to reach your attic where they breed rapidly.
Our service covers the specific challenges Moon Lake homeowners face: roof rats attracted to fruit trees, mice seeking shelter in wall voids, and squirrels damaging insulation. We understand the local wildlife patterns and know exactly where to look and how to prevent re-entry.
The most common sign is scratching or scurrying noises coming from your attic, especially at night when roof rats are most active. You might also find dark, rice-shaped droppings about half an inch long with pointed ends.
Look for gnaw marks on wooden beams, electrical wires, or stored items in your attic. Greasy rub marks along walls where rats travel are another telltale sign. If you notice a musty odor or find shredded insulation, that usually indicates nesting activity.
Don’t ignore these signs—roof rats breed quickly in Florida’s climate, and what starts as one or two can become a serious infestation within weeks.
Roof rats are drawn to Moon Lake homes primarily because of food sources and shelter opportunities. Fruit trees, bird feeders, pet food left outside, and unsecured garbage provide easy meals.
Your home’s structure offers perfect nesting spots—warm attics, wall voids, and spaces between roof decking and insulation. Roof rats can squeeze through openings as small as half an inch, using tree branches, utility lines, or damaged soffits to reach your roofline.
Florida’s year-round warm weather means these rodents stay active all season, constantly searching for new territory. Once they find a good location with food and shelter, they’ll establish territories and breed rapidly.
Rodent control costs in Moon Lake depend on the severity of the infestation, the size of your home, and the extent of exclusion work needed. Most homeowners invest between $300-$800 for complete rodent elimination and prevention.
This includes inspection, trapping, removal, entry point identifying, and sanitization. While it might seem like a significant investment, consider that rodents cause an average of $3,000-$5,000 in damage when left untreated—from chewed wiring, contaminated insulation, and structural damage.
We provide transparent phone quotes so you know exactly what to expect. Many Moon Lake homeowners find that professional treatment actually saves money compared to the ongoing costs and frustration of DIY attempts that don’t solve the root problem.
Yes, we use methods specifically designed to be safe around families and pets while being lethal to rodents. Our bait stations are tamper-resistant and can only be accessed by target pests, not children or pets.
We place traps in areas where your family doesn’t go—like inside wall voids, attic spaces, and behind appliances. All products we use are EPA-approved and applied according to strict safety guidelines by state-certified technicians.
After treatment, we provide clear instructions about any temporary precautions. Most of our work happens in areas you don’t regularly access anyway. Your family’s safety is our top priority, which is why we take time to explain our methods and answer all your questions.
Most Moon Lake rodent problems are eliminated within 1-2 weeks, but the timeline depends on the size of the infestation and the species involved. Roof rats and mice typically respond to treatment within 5-7 days once traps and bait stations are properly placed.
The key is patience during the elimination phase—we need to catch the entire population, not just the ones you’re hearing. Rushing the process or removing traps too early often leads to survivors repopulating the area.
Complete exclusion work happens simultaneously, so by the time the last rodent is eliminated, your home is already identifyed against re-entry. We provide follow-up visits to ensure the problem is completely resolved and make any necessary adjustments to our treatment plan.
Roof rats are excellent climbers that prefer elevated nesting areas like attics, unlike Norway rats that burrow at ground level. They’re typically dark gray or black with large ears, pointed noses, and tails longer than their bodies.
In Moon Lake, roof rats are the most common rodent problem because they use tree branches and utility lines to access homes. They’re particularly attracted to fruit trees and tend to be more active at night than other rodent species.
Mice are smaller and can fit through even tinier openings, while squirrels are larger and cause more obvious damage to insulation and structural materials. Each species requires different treatment approaches, which is why proper identification during our inspection is so important for effective control.
