You know that feeling when the scratching finally stops. When you can walk into your kitchen without worrying about droppings on the counter. When your family’s health isn’t at risk from disease-carrying rodents.
That’s what happens when rodent control is done right. Your attic becomes quiet again. Your electrical wiring stays intact, eliminating fire hazards. Your food storage areas remain clean and safe.
The constant worry disappears. You get your peace of mind back, knowing these persistent invaders won’t return because we’ve identifyed every possible entry point they could use.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been protecting Pasco County families from rodent infestations for years. As a family-run business, you work directly with the owner—not some distant corporate office.
Every call gets answered personally, even on weekends. Most quotes are provided over the phone because we understand you need answers fast when dealing with rodents.
Our state-certified technicians know exactly how roof rats and mice behave in Pasco’s coastal and inland environments. We’ve earned over 100 five-star Google reviews by focusing on honest communication and results that last.
We start with a thorough inspection of your property, focusing on attics, crawl spaces, and potential entry points around your roofline. Rodents in Pasco often enter through gaps as small as a quarter-inch around vents, soffits, and utility lines.
Next comes targeted removal using humane trapping methods strategically placed in high-activity areas. We don’t just catch the rodents you can see—we eliminate the entire colony.
The final step is comprehensive exclusion. We identify every entry point with materials rodents can’t chew through, like steel mesh and metal flashing. This prevents future infestations and gives you long-term protection. We also provide damage repair services for any destruction caused by gnawing or nesting.

Your rodent control service includes complete inspection, humane removal, exclusion identifying, and damage repair. We handle everything from attic rat removal to mouse control service throughout your property.
In Pasco County, roof rats are particularly common due to our abundance of fruit trees and warm climate. These agile climbers often nest in attics and can cause significant damage by chewing electrical wiring—a serious fire hazard many homeowners don’t realize until it’s too late.
Our service also includes thorough cleanup and sanitization of affected areas. Rodent droppings and urine can spread diseases like leptospirosis and salmonella, so proper cleanup is essential for your family’s health. We provide ongoing maintenance to ensure your property stays rodent-free year-round.
Rats typically enter attics through small gaps around your roofline, vents, and soffits. In Pasco County, roof rats are excellent climbers that use tree branches, utility lines, and even palm fronds to reach your roof.
They can squeeze through openings as small as a quarter-inch. Common entry points include gaps around vent screens, loose soffits, damaged shingles, and openings where utility lines enter your home. The warm, humid climate in Pasco makes attics particularly attractive to rats seeking shelter and nesting sites.
Once inside, they quickly establish nests using insulation and other materials, which is why you hear scratching noises, especially at night when they’re most active.
The most obvious signs include scratching or scurrying noises in your attic or walls, particularly at night. You’ll also find dark, spindle-shaped droppings about half an inch long with pointed ends—these are typically found near food sources, in pantries, or along baseboards.
Look for gnaw marks on food packaging, electrical wires, or wooden surfaces. Rodents’ teeth grow continuously, so they constantly chew to keep them manageable. You might also notice greasy rub marks along walls where rats frequently travel, or see shredded materials like insulation that they’ve used for nesting.
If your pets are staring at walls or acting agitated around certain areas of your home, they may be detecting rodent activity you haven’t noticed yet.
Professional rodent proofing costs vary depending on your property size, the extent of the infestation, and how many entry points need identifying. Most Pasco homeowners invest between a few hundred to over a thousand dollars for comprehensive service.
The investment pays for itself quickly when you consider the potential costs of rodent damage. Rats can cause thousands in damage by chewing electrical wiring, contaminating insulation, and destroying stored items. They also pose serious health risks that could result in medical expenses.
We provide most quotes over the phone after discussing your specific situation. As a family-owned business, we offer military discounts and special rates for new homeowners. The cost of professional service is always less than dealing with the consequences of an untreated infestation.
Absolutely. We use humane, family-safe methods that effectively eliminate rodents without putting your loved ones at risk. Our approach focuses on exclusion and targeted trapping rather than widespread poison use, which can be dangerous around children and pets.
We strategically place traps in areas where your family and pets don’t have access, like inside attics or behind appliances. All materials used for identifying entry points are non-toxic and designed to last for years without maintenance.
Our state-certified technicians are trained in safe application methods and will walk you through any precautions specific to your situation. We prioritize your family’s safety while ensuring complete elimination of the rodent problem.
Complete elimination typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on the size of the infestation and how established the colony is. Roof rats breed quickly, so early intervention is crucial for faster results.
The process involves initial trapping and removal, which can take 1-2 weeks, followed by comprehensive exclusion work to identify all entry points. We continue monitoring for several weeks to ensure no new activity occurs.
Unlike DIY methods that might catch a few rats but leave the colony intact, professional service addresses the entire population and prevents reinfestations. You’ll notice the scratching noises stop within the first week, but complete elimination and exclusion work takes time to do properly. Our goal is permanent results, not quick fixes that fail within months.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Pasco County. As a family-owned business, you speak directly with the owner who can respond immediately to urgent situations.
Emergency situations include discovering extensive electrical wire damage, finding large amounts of droppings indicating a serious health risk, or hearing significant rodent activity that suggests a large infestation. We understand that rodent problems don’t wait for business hours.
We answer our phones personally, even on weekends and holidays. Most emergency assessments can be scheduled within 24 hours, and we often provide initial guidance over the phone to help you take immediate protective measures while we arrange service.
