You’re not dealing with termites because you want to. You’re here because you know what happens if you ignore them—or worse, if you don’t catch them early enough.
Termites can feed on your home’s structure for three to five years before you see any signs. By then, the damage averages between $8,000 and $12,000 to repair. In severe cases, it exceeds $20,000. And here’s the part that stings: homeowner’s insurance doesn’t cover termite damage in Florida.
Prevention isn’t about fear. It’s about math. An annual termite protection plan costs a fraction of what you’d pay to repair even minor damage. You get regular inspections, monitoring, and treatments designed specifically for North Brooksville’s warm, humid climate—where termites stay active year-round and eat wood up to seven times faster than they do in cooler regions.
When termites stay out, your home stays structurally sound. You avoid surprise repair bills. You protect your equity. And if you ever sell, you can show buyers that your home has been professionally maintained.
Around The Clock Pest Service is a family-run business serving North Brooksville and the surrounding Hernando County area. When you call, you’re talking directly to the owner—not a call center, not a salesperson.
We’re licensed, state-certified, and backed by over 100 five-star Google reviews. We answer every call personally and respond within 24 hours, even on weekends. Most quotes are provided over the phone, so you’re not sitting through a high-pressure sales pitch in your living room.
North Brooksville’s location as the county seat brings historic charm and scenic landscapes—but also the humid conditions that make this area prime termite territory. We’ve been protecting homes here long enough to know exactly what species you’re dealing with, when they swarm, and how to stop them before they start.
First, we inspect your property. We’re looking for active termites, signs of past damage, and conditions that attract them—like moisture buildup, wood-to-ground contact, or cracks in your foundation. This isn’t a quick walk-around. We check crawl spaces, attics, basements, and exterior perimeters.
Next, we explain what we found. If there’s an active infestation, we treat it. If your home is clear, we recommend a prevention plan that fits your property and budget. Most homeowners in North Brooksville benefit from an annual termite protection plan, which includes monitoring, treatments, and follow-up inspections.
We use treatments designed for Florida’s specific termite species—subterranean and drywood. Subterranean termites enter through the ground, so we create barriers they can’t cross. Drywood termites nest inside the wood itself, so we target those areas directly.
After treatment, we monitor. Termites don’t take vacations, and neither do we. Regular check-ins mean we catch problems early—or better yet, prevent them entirely.

An annual termite protection plan covers inspections, monitoring, and treatments. You’re not paying for one-time service and hoping for the best. You’re getting ongoing protection that adapts to seasonal changes and termite activity patterns.
In North Brooksville, subterranean termites swarm heaviest from October through February. That’s when colonies are most active and most likely to target your home. Our protection plans are timed to address these patterns, so you’re covered during peak risk periods.
We also offer WDO (Wood-Destroying Organism) inspections for real estate transactions. If you’re buying or selling a home in Hernando County, a WDO inspection is often required by lenders. We provide fast, thorough reports that meet state requirements and give you a clear picture of what you’re dealing with.
Every plan includes transparent pricing—no hidden fees, no surprise charges. We explain what you’re paying for and why. If something changes or if we find new activity, we call you first. You’re never left guessing about what’s happening with your home.
The cost depends on your home’s size, construction type, and whether you’re treating an active infestation or setting up prevention. Most termite prevention services in the Spring Hill and Hernando County area range from $238 to $347 for standard treatments, though prices can vary based on severity and property conditions.
An annual termite protection plan typically costs less than a single repair job. The average termite damage repair in Florida runs between $8,000 and $12,000—and that’s for moderate cases. Severe infestations can exceed $20,000 in repairs, none of which your homeowner’s insurance will cover.
We provide most quotes over the phone after asking a few questions about your property. If an in-person inspection is needed, we’ll let you know upfront. No games, no pressure.
Termites are tough to spot early because they do their damage inside walls, floors, and ceilings. By the time you see obvious signs, they’ve usually been feeding for years.
Common signs include mud tubes running up your foundation or exterior walls—these are highways subterranean termites build to travel between soil and food sources. You might also notice hollow-sounding wood when you tap on baseboards or door frames, or small piles of what looks like sawdust near wooden structures (that’s frass, or termite droppings). During swarming season, you may see winged termites around windows or doors, or find discarded wings on windowsills.
If you’re seeing any of these signs, don’t wait. Termites don’t slow down on their own, and the longer they feed, the more expensive the fix. We can inspect your home, confirm whether it’s termites, and give you a clear plan for treatment.
No. Homeowner’s insurance in Florida does not cover termite damage or the cost of termite treatment. Insurance companies classify termite damage as preventable, which means it’s the homeowner’s responsibility to protect the property.
This is one of the biggest surprises for new homeowners. You can have full coverage on your home, but if termites cause $15,000 in structural damage, you’re paying for repairs out of pocket.
That’s why prevention is so important. An annual termite protection plan costs a fraction of what you’d spend on even minor repairs—and it keeps your home off the termite menu in the first place. Think of it as insurance you actually control.
Spring is the best time for preventive pest control in Florida, including termite inspections. Pest populations grow rapidly as temperatures rise, so catching problems in the spring helps you avoid larger infestations later in the year.
That said, termites in North Brooksville stay active year-round thanks to Florida’s warm, humid climate. Subterranean termites swarm most heavily from October through February, so inspections during or just before that window are especially valuable.
If you’re buying or selling a home, you’ll likely need a WDO inspection regardless of the season—most lenders require it before closing. And if you’ve never had your home inspected, or if it’s been more than a year, now is the time. Termites don’t wait for convenient timing, and catching them early can save you thousands.
It depends on the treatment method and the severity of the infestation. Liquid termiticides applied around your home’s perimeter typically start working within a few days, creating a barrier that kills termites on contact or as they return to the colony. Full colony elimination can take a few weeks to a few months, depending on colony size and location.
Bait systems work more slowly—they’re designed to be carried back to the colony, where they disrupt growth and reproduction. These can take several months to fully eliminate a colony, but they’re highly effective for long-term control.
During treatment, we monitor progress and adjust as needed. You won’t see immediate results like you would with a visible pest, because termites do their damage hidden inside walls and wood. But we’ll keep you updated on what’s happening and what to expect next. The goal isn’t just to kill the termites you have now—it’s to make sure they don’t come back.
You can reduce your risk with basic maintenance—fixing leaks, keeping wood away from soil, clearing gutters, and reducing moisture around your foundation. Those steps help, but they won’t stop a determined termite colony.
Termites in Florida are aggressive. There are 13 subterranean termite colonies per acre in this state, and they can consume wood up to seven times faster than termites in cooler climates. If a colony decides your home is their next meal, DIY methods won’t be enough.
Professional termite prevention involves treatments and monitoring systems that aren’t available to homeowners. We use products and techniques designed specifically for Florida’s termite species, applied in ways that create long-term barriers. And if you do have an infestation, trying to treat it yourself can backfire—disturbing a colony can cause up to 25,000 termites to scatter throughout your home, making the problem worse and putting neighboring properties at risk. Regular inspections by a licensed pest control company can save you thousands in repair bills by catching problems early or preventing them entirely.
