You get your peace of mind back when the roaches stop scurrying across your kitchen counters at night. No more jumping when palmetto bugs fly at you in the bathroom. No more worrying about termites silently eating away at your biggest investment.
That’s what happens when pest control actually works. Your mornings start without finding ant trails across your counters. Your evenings end without hearing rodents scratching in the walls. Your family can relax in a home that’s genuinely protected, not just temporarily treated.
Professional pest management means addressing the root of the problem, not just what you see on the surface. It’s the difference between months of frustration and a home that stays pest-free.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been protecting homes throughout Hernando County and neighboring Florida counties for years. Our owner handles every client personally—no call centers, no runaround, just direct communication with someone who knows your situation.
State certifications and over 100 five-star Google reviews back up what customers already know: this is pest control done right. We offer military families and new homeowners special discounts because protecting your home shouldn’t break your budget.
When you call, you reach our owner directly. When you need service, you get it fast—often the same day. That’s how we operate as a family business that actually cares about solving your problem.
Our process starts with an honest assessment of your situation. No sales pitch, no scare tactics—just a clear explanation of what’s happening and what it takes to fix it. Most quotes happen over the phone because we can often diagnose your problem from your description.
Treatment focuses on elimination and prevention. That means targeting the pests you see and the ones you don’t, plus sealing the entry points that let them in. Our approach varies based on your specific pest problem—termite inspections require different methods than roach elimination or rodent control.
Follow-up happens when needed, not on some rigid schedule that ignores whether you actually have ongoing issues. If pests return between treatments, we come back. That’s how you know you’re working with someone who stands behind their work.

Your service covers the pests that actually threaten Lake Pasadena Heights homes. Termite inspections and WDO reports for real estate transactions. Quarterly prevention programs that adapt to Florida’s seasonal pest cycles. Emergency response for sudden infestations that can’t wait.
Subterranean termites cause the most damage here because they work silently until structural problems appear. Palmetto bugs and German roaches thrive in our humid climate and can trigger allergies and asthma. Fire ants build aggressive colonies that pose safety risks, especially for children and pets.
Our treatments target these specific threats using methods that work in Florida’s unique environment. Standing water from summer rains creates mosquito breeding grounds. Dense vegetation provides harborage for spiders and rodents. High humidity attracts nearly every pest species that calls this region home.
Same-day service is available for most pest emergencies, and our owner responds to calls 24/7—even on weekends. When you’re dealing with a wasp nest near your front door or discovering termite swarmers in your living room, waiting until Monday isn’t an option.
Emergency response depends on the severity and safety concerns. Stinging insects, aggressive ant colonies, or pest problems that pose immediate health risks get priority scheduling. Most situations that seem urgent to homeowners actually are urgent, and we treat them that way.
Our goal is always to get someone to your property within hours, not days. That’s possible because we’re a local, family-run operation where our owner makes the scheduling decisions based on your actual needs, not corporate policies.
A complete termite inspection covers every accessible area where termites typically attack Florida homes. That includes crawl spaces, basements, attic areas, and the exterior foundation. We look for active termite activity, previous damage, and conditions that attract future infestations.
You receive a detailed written report that meets Florida’s WDO (Wood Destroying Organism) requirements for real estate transactions. If termites are found, the report explains exactly where they are, how extensive the problem appears, and what treatment options make sense for your specific situation.
The inspection also identifies moisture problems, wood-to-soil contact, and other conditions that invite termite activity. These insights help you prevent future problems even if no active termites are currently present. Most inspections take 45-60 minutes depending on your home’s size and accessibility.
All our treatments prioritize the safety of your family and pets while effectively eliminating pest problems. This means using targeted applications in specific areas rather than blanket spraying, choosing products with lower toxicity profiles when possible, and timing treatments to minimize exposure.
For indoor treatments, you’ll receive clear instructions about any temporary precautions—like keeping pets out of treated areas until products dry. Most modern pest control products pose minimal risk when applied correctly, but taking sensible precautions protects everyone in your household.
Our technician explains exactly what products are being used and why they’re the best choice for your situation. If you have specific concerns about children with allergies or pets with health conditions, those factors influence our treatment approach from the start.
Lake Pasadena Heights sits in Hernando County where the combination of water features, dense vegetation, and humid subtropical climate creates ideal conditions for multiple pest species year-round. The area’s proximity to natural habitats means wildlife and pest pressures that don’t exist in more urban environments.
Homes here deal with both structural pests like termites and nuisance pests like palmetto bugs that fly in from outdoor harborage areas. The sandy soil common in this region allows subterranean termites to build extensive tunnel systems that can go undetected until damage becomes visible.
Seasonal patterns also differ from other parts of Florida. Summer rains create more standing water and higher humidity, which drives mosquito populations and pushes roaches indoors seeking dry shelter. Understanding these local conditions is essential for effective, long-term pest management.
Most homes benefit from quarterly treatments that align with Florida’s seasonal pest activity patterns, but the right frequency depends on your specific situation. Homes near wooded areas, lakes, or with previous pest problems often need more frequent attention than newer construction in developed neighborhoods.
Termite monitoring should happen annually at minimum, with more frequent inspections if you’ve had previous termite activity or live in a high-risk area. Mosquito control during peak season (March through October) might require monthly treatments if you spend significant time outdoors.
The key is adjusting service frequency based on results, not sticking to a rigid schedule that ignores whether you actually have ongoing pest pressure. Some homes need intensive treatment initially, then can maintain pest-free status with less frequent visits once the problem is fully controlled.
Honest pricing starts with understanding exactly what pest problems you’re facing and what it takes to solve them permanently. Most quotes can be provided over the phone because we can assess your situation from a detailed description of the problem.
Initial treatments typically cost more than ongoing maintenance because they involve more intensive work to eliminate existing infestations and establish protective barriers. Quarterly maintenance programs offer better value than one-time treatments if you want long-term protection rather than just temporary relief.
Pricing reflects the reality that effective pest control requires professional-grade products, proper application techniques, and follow-up service when needed. The investment makes sense when you consider the cost of structural damage from termites or the health risks from disease-carrying pests that DIY methods often fail to control.
