You’re not dealing with termite damage that’s already happened. You’re preventing it from starting in the first place.
That matters in Camps, FL, where Florida’s warm, humid climate creates perfect conditions for subterranean termites to stay active all year. There’s no “off season” here. Hernando County sits in an area with extremely high termite pressure—an estimated 13 colonies per acre according to state data.
The average termite repair in Florida runs between $8,000 and $12,000. Your homeowner’s insurance won’t cover a dollar of it. Annual termite protection plans cost a fraction of that and give you continuous monitoring, early detection, and treatment if anything shows up.
You get inspections from a state-licensed technician who knows what to look for. You get treatments designed for Florida’s sandy soil and high moisture levels. And you get direct access to the owner—not a call center—if you ever have questions or concerns.
Around The Clock Pest Service is a family-run business serving Camps, FL and surrounding areas in Hernando County. You work directly with the owner, not a rotating crew or a national franchise.
That means faster responses, honest answers, and someone who’s accountable to you and the community. Most quotes happen over the phone. Calls get returned within 24 hours, even on weekends.
We’ve built our reputation on transparent communication and relationship-focused service. Over 100 five-star Google reviews reflect that approach. So do the repeat customers who’ve trusted the same family for years to protect their homes from termites, rodents, and other pests common to the Spring Hill and Brooksville areas.
First, a licensed technician inspects your property. That includes the exterior foundation, crawl spaces, visible wood structures, and any areas where moisture tends to collect. Termites need three things: wood, moisture, and soil contact. The inspection identifies where those conditions exist around your home.
If termites are found, you’ll get a clear explanation of the issue and a treatment plan. If your home is clear, you’ll get a prevention plan designed to keep it that way.
Treatment options depend on your property and your goals. Liquid treatments create a barrier in the soil around your foundation that termites can’t cross. Bait systems monitor and eliminate colonies before they reach your home. Both methods are proven and widely used across Florida for residential termite defense in Pasco County and neighboring areas.
After the initial service, you’ll get scheduled follow-ups as part of your annual termite protection plan. Those visits catch new activity early and keep your coverage active. You’re not waiting until damage happens. You’re staying ahead of it.

Your termite prevention service includes a full property inspection, a customized treatment plan, and ongoing monitoring throughout the year. You’re covered whether termites show up or not.
In Camps, FL, the biggest threat comes from subterranean termites. These aren’t the drywood termites you hear about in other parts of the country. Subterranean termites live in the soil and build mud tubes to access the wood in your home. They’re harder to spot and more destructive over time.
Your plan also includes WDO inspections if you’re buying, selling, or refinancing a home. That’s the Wood-Destroying Organism report required by most lenders and real estate transactions in Florida. It’s handled by the same licensed technician who knows your property.
You’ll also get access to the owner anytime you have concerns. If you see mud tubes, notice soft spots in your baseboards, or find winged insects near windows after a rain, you can call. Someone will pick up or call you back fast—not next week.
Most termite prevention services in Camps, FL range between $400 and $1,200 annually depending on the size of your home, the treatment method, and how much linear footage needs coverage around your foundation. That’s significantly less than the $8,000 to $12,000 average repair cost if termites go undetected.
We provide most quotes over the phone after asking a few questions about your property. You’ll know the cost upfront before scheduling anything. There are no surprise fees or upsells once the technician arrives.
If you’re a new homeowner or active military, ask about available discounts. We offer special pricing to help families in those situations get protection in place early without stretching the budget.
Annual inspections are the standard recommendation in Florida, especially in areas like Hernando County where termite pressure stays extremely high year-round. Some homeowners schedule inspections every six months if their property has a history of moisture issues, wood-to-ground contact, or previous termite activity.
Florida’s climate means termites don’t go dormant. They’re active in January just like they are in July. An annual termite protection plan gives you scheduled inspections, monitoring, and treatment if needed—all without having to remember to call each year.
If you’re buying or selling a home, you’ll also need a WDO inspection as part of the real estate transaction. That’s a separate report required by lenders, and it needs to be completed by a state-licensed pest control operator. We handle those inspections for clients throughout the Spring Hill and Brooksville areas.
The most common sign is mud tubes running up your foundation or along baseboards. Subterranean termites build these tunnels to travel between the soil and the wood they’re feeding on. The tubes are about the width of a pencil and usually brown or tan.
You might also notice soft or hollow-sounding wood, especially around door frames and window sills. Termites eat wood from the inside out, so the surface can look fine while the interior is damaged. Small piles of wings near windows or doors after a rainstorm are another indicator—those come from swarmers looking to start new colonies.
Here’s the problem: most termite damage isn’t visible until it’s already serious. Termites can feed on your home for three to five years before you notice anything. That’s why prevention and regular inspections matter more than waiting for obvious signs.
Yes. The termite treatments we use are regulated by the EPA and the Florida Department of Agriculture. When applied correctly by a trained technician, they’re safe for people and pets once the product has dried or been applied according to label instructions.
Liquid termiticides are applied in the soil around your foundation, not inside your living spaces. Bait systems use enclosed stations that only termites can access. Both methods target termites specifically and have decades of safe use in residential settings across the country.
If you have specific concerns about children, pets, or health conditions, mention that when you schedule your inspection. We can walk you through exactly what products will be used, where they’ll be applied, and how long you’ll need to keep kids or animals away from treated areas—usually just a few hours.
Yes. That’s the entire point of prevention. By the time you see termites or damage, they’ve likely been feeding on your home for years. The repair costs at that stage are significant, and your homeowner’s insurance won’t cover any of it.
Florida has some of the highest termite activity in the country. In Hernando County, you’re living in an area with 13 subterranean termite colonies per acre on average. Your home is surrounded by them. The question isn’t whether termites are nearby—it’s whether they’ve found a way into your structure yet.
Professional termite protection creates a barrier that stops them before they get inside. It also includes regular monitoring so if termites do show up, they’re caught early when treatment is simpler and less expensive. You’re not paying to fix damage. You’re paying to avoid it entirely.
Liquid treatments create a chemical barrier in the soil around your home’s foundation. Termites can’t cross it without dying, so it blocks them from reaching your structure. It’s fast-acting and effective for homes that need immediate protection or have active infestations. Most liquid treatments last five to ten years depending on soil conditions and the product used.
Bait systems use monitoring stations placed around your property. Termites find the bait, take it back to their colony, and it eliminates the entire colony over time. Bait systems take longer to work but they’re less invasive and ideal for ongoing monitoring. Many homeowners in Camps, FL use a combination of both methods for maximum coverage.
We’ll recommend the best approach based on your property layout, soil type, and whether you currently have termite activity. Both methods are proven and widely used across Florida for residential termite defense. The right choice depends on your specific situation, and you’ll get a clear explanation of why one method makes more sense than the other before any work starts.
