You need more than a one-time treatment. You need a barrier that holds up against constant pressure, inspections that catch early warning signs, and someone who’ll actually pick up the phone when you have questions.

If you’re in Blanton, Spring Hill, Brooksville, or anywhere in Hernando County, you’re working with people who live here, understand the local termite pressure, and treat your home like it’s our own.
First, we inspect your property—not just the obvious spots, but the crawl spaces, foundation cracks, and moisture-prone areas where termites actually enter. You’ll get a clear explanation of what we find, what it means, and what your options are. Most quotes are provided over the phone, so you’re not waiting days for an answer.
If treatment is needed, we apply a liquid termiticide barrier around your home’s perimeter and any vulnerable entry points. This creates a protective zone that termites can’t cross without exposure. For drywood termites, we use targeted treatments in the specific areas where activity is detected.
After your initial treatment, we set up an annual termite protection plan that includes regular inspections and reapplication as needed. You’re not left guessing whether your home is still protected—we stay on it. And if you ever have concerns between visits, you call us directly. No phone trees, no ticket systems. Just George or Mary picking up and walking you through it.

Every termite prevention service in Blanton, FL includes a full property inspection by a state-licensed technician, a detailed assessment of current termite activity or risk factors, and a treatment plan that’s based on your home’s specific vulnerabilities—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
You’ll receive liquid barrier treatments applied to your home’s foundation and perimeter, targeted interior treatments if drywood termites are present, and documentation of all work performed for your records or future real estate transactions. We also provide WDO inspections required for home sales and refinancing, with fast turnaround times that keep closings on schedule.
Here’s what matters in Hernando County: Florida homes face some of the highest termite pressure in the country. More than 30% of the $5.5 billion in annual U.S. termite damage happens right here in Florida, and termites cause five times more damage than fires to Florida homes. Your annual protection plan isn’t optional maintenance—it’s the difference between a $1,200 prevention treatment and an $8,000 repair bill that your insurance won’t touch.
We also offer military discounts and special pricing for new homeowners, because we know what it costs to maintain a home in this climate.
Termite prevention treatment typically costs between $4 and $16 per linear foot, which works out to around $800 to $4,000 for most homes in Blanton, depending on your home’s size, foundation type, and the level of treatment needed.
That might sound like a lot until you compare it to the alternative. The average Florida home suffers nearly $8,000 in termite damage before the problem is even detected, and homeowner’s insurance doesn’t cover termite damage. You’re paying out of pocket either way—the question is whether you’re paying to prevent it or paying to repair it after the fact.
We provide most quotes over the phone once we understand your property details, so you’re not waiting days for a number. And if you’re a new homeowner or active military, we offer discounts that bring that cost down even further.
You should have your home inspected for termites at least once a year in Florida. Unlike colder states where termite activity slows in winter, Florida’s warm, humid climate keeps termites active year-round—there’s no off-season.
Annual inspections catch early warning signs before they turn into full-blown infestations. Termites can feed on your home’s structure for three to five years before you notice visible damage, so waiting until you see something is already too late.
If you’re buying, selling, or refinancing a home, you’ll also need a WDO (Wood-Destroying Organism) inspection as part of the real estate transaction. We handle those with fast turnaround times, and the documentation we provide meets all lender and closing requirements. Most of our clients in Blanton and Hernando County stay on an annual protection plan, which includes regular inspections and reapplications as part of the service.
Subterranean termites live in the soil and build mud tubes to access your home’s wood. They need contact with moisture, so they typically enter through foundation cracks, crawl spaces, or anywhere wood touches soil. These are the most common termites in Hernando County, and they’re responsible for the majority of structural damage.
Drywood termites don’t need soil or moisture—they live entirely inside the wood they’re eating. You’ll find them in attic framing, door frames, and furniture. They’re harder to detect because they don’t build mud tubes, but you might notice small piles of pellet-shaped droppings near infested wood.
Both types are active in Blanton, FL, and both require different treatment approaches. Subterranean termites are controlled with liquid barrier treatments around your home’s perimeter. Drywood termites need targeted interior treatments or fumigation in severe cases. During your inspection, we identify which type you’re dealing with and recommend the right treatment—not the most expensive one.
You can reduce termite risk with basic maintenance—fixing leaks, keeping mulch away from your foundation, removing wood debris from your yard—but you can’t create an effective termite barrier without professional-grade products and application equipment.
Over-the-counter termite treatments don’t have the same concentration or longevity as professional termiticides, and improper application can actually make the problem worse by causing termites to avoid treated areas and find new entry points you didn’t protect. Termites only need a crack 1/32nd of an inch wide to get into your home, so missing even small gaps leaves you vulnerable.
Professional termite prevention in Blanton, FL also includes the inspection component, which is where most DIY approaches fail. You might treat the perimeter, but if you don’t catch early activity in your crawl space or attic, you’re still looking at damage. Our technicians are trained to spot the signs most homeowners miss, and we’re licensed by the Florida Department of Agriculture to apply treatments that actually hold up in Florida’s climate.
A professional liquid termite barrier typically lasts between five and ten years, depending on soil conditions, rainfall, and the specific product used. However, in Florida’s high-pressure termite environment, we recommend annual inspections and reapplications as needed to maintain full protection.
Soil shifts, heavy rains, and landscaping changes can all compromise your barrier over time. An annual checkup ensures that your treatment is still doing its job and catches any new termite activity before it becomes a costly problem.
Drywood termite treatments work differently—they’re targeted to specific infested areas rather than applied as a perimeter barrier. Once the active infestation is eliminated, ongoing monitoring is key to catching any new colonies that might move in. That’s why our annual termite protection plan includes both reapplication and inspection, so you’re never guessing whether your home is still covered.
Yes. When you sign up for our annual termite protection plan in Blanton, FL, you’re covered for retreatment if termites breach the barrier during your coverage period. That means if we treat your home and termites show up before your next scheduled service, we come back and handle it at no additional cost.
The key is staying on the annual plan. If you skip inspections or let your coverage lapse, the warranty doesn’t apply—because we can’t guarantee protection if we’re not monitoring and maintaining the barrier.
We also provide all documentation and treatment records you’ll need for future real estate transactions. If you sell your home, having a documented history of professional termite prevention adds value and speeds up the closing process, since buyers and lenders want proof that the home has been properly maintained. Around The Clock Pest Service has been protecting homes in Hernando County since 2020, and we stand behind every treatment we perform.
