You’re not checking corners every morning. You’re not hearing scratching in the walls at night. You’re not wondering if that’s another roach in the kitchen.
When the pests are gone—and stay gone—you stop thinking about them. That’s the difference between a quick spray and actual pest control. We handle termites, rodents, roaches, ants, and everything else Florida throws at you, with quarterly prevention built for a climate that never gives pests a break.
Crystal Springs sits in Hernando County, where warm weather and humidity create year-round breeding conditions. Termites don’t take winters off here. Neither do ants, mosquitoes, or rodents. You need an exterminator in Crystal Springs, FL who understands that reality and builds protection around it.
Around The Clock Pest Service is family-run, which means when you call, you’re talking to the owner. No transfers. No ticket numbers. Just someone who knows your name and your pest problem.
We serve Crystal Springs and the surrounding Hernando County area with state-certified termite inspections, rodent control, quarterly prevention plans, and WDO inspections for real estate transactions. Over 100 five-star Google reviews back up what customers already know: we show up, do the work, and answer the phone when you need us.
Military families and new homeowners get special pricing. Everyone gets honest advice, even if it’s just a tip over the phone that saves you a service call.
First, you call. Most of the time, you’ll get a quote right there on the phone based on what you’re dealing with. If it needs an in-person look, we can usually get there the same day.
Once on-site, the inspection covers entry points, nesting areas, and the full scope of the issue. You’ll know what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what it takes to fix it. No upselling. No vague language. Just a clear plan.
Treatment targets the active problem first, then sets up barriers and prevention to keep pests from coming back. For ongoing protection, quarterly plans make sense in Florida’s climate—pests don’t stop breeding here, so your defense shouldn’t stop either. If something pops up between visits, you call, and we respond within 24 hours.

We handle the full range: termites, ants, roaches, rodents, spiders, mosquitoes, and stinging insects. Services include one-time treatments, quarterly prevention, termite inspections, WDO inspections for home sales, and emergency calls when something can’t wait.
In Crystal Springs, termites are a constant threat. Florida is home to Eastern Subterranean, Formosan, Asian Subterranean, and Drywood termites—all capable of serious structural damage. Termite inspections here aren’t optional if you want to protect your investment. Rodents are another year-round issue, especially roof rats and Norway rats that find their way into attics and walls.
Quarterly prevention plans are designed specifically for Florida’s humid, warm climate where pests breed continuously. These plans include interior and exterior treatments, with adjustments based on seasonal pest activity. You’re not locked into a contract that doesn’t make sense—you’re getting a plan that actually matches the pest pressure in Hernando County.
We respond within 24 hours, and same-day service is often available depending on the time you call and the technician’s schedule. Most quotes are provided over the phone, so you’ll know the cost before anyone shows up.
If you’re dealing with an emergency—like a wasp nest near your entrance, a rodent in your kitchen, or a swarm of termites—calling early in the day increases your chances of same-day service. The owner answers calls directly, even on weekends, so you’re not waiting until Monday to get help.
Crystal Springs is part of our regular service area, which means response times are faster than companies coming from outside Hernando County. You’re working with someone local who knows the area and can get there without delay.
A one-time treatment eliminates the pests you have right now. Quarterly pest control keeps them from coming back by maintaining barriers and monitoring for new activity throughout the year.
In Florida, pests don’t go dormant in winter. Termites, ants, roaches, and mosquitoes stay active 12 months a year because the climate never cools enough to interrupt their breeding cycles. That’s why one-time treatments often lead to repeat infestations—you’re not addressing the constant pressure from outside.
Quarterly plans include interior and exterior treatments every three months, adjusted for seasonal pest patterns. If pests show up between visits, you’re covered. We’ll come back out at no extra charge to handle it. For most homes in Crystal Springs, quarterly prevention is the smarter investment because it stops problems before they start.
Yes. Termites cause damage silently, often for months or years before you notice anything. By the time you see mud tubes, hollow-sounding wood, or swarming termites, the damage is already significant.
Florida has some of the highest termite activity in the country. Hernando County’s warm, humid soil is ideal for subterranean termites, which build colonies underground and enter homes through cracks in the foundation. Drywood termites don’t need soil contact—they infest wood directly and can go undetected even longer.
Annual termite inspections catch infestations early, when treatment is less invasive and less expensive. If you’re buying or selling a home in Crystal Springs, a WDO (Wood-Destroying Organism) inspection is typically required by lenders. We’re state-certified to perform these inspections and can provide documentation for real estate transactions.
Yes. We use state-approved products and application methods designed to target pests while minimizing risk to people and animals. The owner will explain what’s being used, where it’s being applied, and any precautions you should take.
Most treatments allow you to return to your home within a few hours. For interior treatments, you’ll typically be asked to keep pets and children away from treated areas until surfaces dry. For exterior barrier treatments, there’s usually no need to leave at all.
If you have specific concerns—like a newborn, someone with respiratory issues, or pets with sensitivities—mention that during your initial call. The treatment plan can be adjusted to fit your situation. The goal is to eliminate pests without creating new problems for your household.
Call. We’ll come back out to inspect and re-treat at no additional charge if you’re on a quarterly plan. You’re not stuck waiting until your next scheduled visit.
Sometimes pests find new entry points, or heavy rain flushes them out of the soil and into homes. Other times, a neighboring property has an infestation that spreads. Whatever the reason, you shouldn’t have to live with pests just because it’s not “your service month.”
When you call, you’ll speak directly with the owner, who can usually get someone out within 24 hours. The follow-up visit includes an inspection to figure out what changed and what additional treatment is needed. That’s part of the service—not an upsell.
Most quotes are provided over the phone based on the type of pest, the size of your property, and whether you need a one-time treatment or ongoing service. We keep pricing transparent—you’ll know the cost before any work begins.
One-time treatments for common pests like ants or roaches typically cost less than termite treatments or rodent exclusion, which require more labor and materials. Quarterly prevention plans spread the cost over the year and often save money compared to multiple one-time calls.
For WDO inspections related to real estate transactions, pricing is straightforward and competitive with other state-certified providers in Hernando County. Military families and new homeowners qualify for special discounts. If cost is a concern, mention it during your call—the owner will work with you to find a solution that fits your budget without cutting corners on the work.
