You’re not dealing with termites because you want to. You’re here because your home is your biggest investment, and you’ve heard what termites can do in Florida.
The reality is straightforward: termites cause more structural damage in Florida than hurricanes, floods, and fires combined. They can feed on your home for three to five years before you notice anything. By then, you’re looking at thousands in repairs that insurance won’t cover.
Termite prevention in Tommytown, FL means catching activity before it becomes destruction. It means annual monitoring that spots warning signs early. It means treatments that create barriers termites can’t cross. And it means you sleep better knowing your home isn’t being eaten from the inside out while you’re unaware.
The difference between prevention and repair isn’t just money—it’s stress, time, and the value of your property. Homes with termite damage history lose about 20% of their value. Prevention keeps that from ever being your problem.
Around The Clock Pest Service isn’t a call center or a franchise. When you call, you talk directly to the owner. When you need service, the owner handles your account personally.
We’ve built our reputation in Hernando County by doing what larger companies won’t: answering the phone 24/7, providing honest quotes over the phone, and showing up when we say we will. Our 100+ five-star Google reviews reflect that approach.
Tommytown, FL sits in one of the most termite-active regions in the country. Florida averages 13 subterranean termite colonies per acre. That’s not a scare tactic—it’s the environment you’re living in. We know this area, we know the termite patterns here, and we know what works for homes like yours.
First, we inspect your property. That means checking the foundation, crawl spaces, wood structures, and any areas where moisture collects. Termites need three things: wood, moisture, and contact with soil. We’re looking for all three.
If we find active termites, we treat them immediately using methods that eliminate the colony—not just the termites you can see. If we don’t find activity, we establish a prevention barrier using liquid treatments or monitoring stations depending on your property’s layout and your preferences.
Then we set up an annual termite protection plan. You get scheduled inspections that monitor for new activity, reapply treatments as needed, and adjust based on what we’re seeing. You’re not guessing whether termites are a problem. You know.
Between visits, you have direct access to us. If you see something that concerns you, you call. We respond within 24 hours, even on weekends. That’s not marketing language—that’s how we run our business.

Our termite prevention services in Tommytown, FL include a full property inspection, treatment of any active infestations, and establishment of long-term protection barriers. You receive a detailed report of what we found, what we did, and what you should watch for.
We’re state-certified by the Florida Department of Health & Rehabilitative Services. That certification matters because termite work in Florida requires specific knowledge of species behavior, treatment regulations, and environmental considerations. We also provide WDO (Wood Destroying Organism) reports for real estate transactions if you’re buying, selling, or refinancing.
Florida’s warm, humid climate means termites stay active year-round. There’s no “off season” here like there is up north. Subterranean termites—the most common type in Tommytown, FL—swarm heaviest from October through February, but they’re feeding on structures every month of the year.
Your annual protection plan adjusts for that reality. We’re not treating your home once and hoping it lasts. We’re monitoring continuously and responding to what your property needs as conditions change.
Prevention costs a fraction of what you’ll spend on repairs. The average homeowner in Florida spends around $3,000 fixing termite damage—and that’s if you catch it relatively early.
Termite prevention services in Tommytown, FL typically run a few hundred dollars annually depending on your property size and the treatment method used. That annual investment protects you from thousands in structural repairs, plus the loss of property value that comes with a termite damage history.
Most people don’t realize that homeowners insurance doesn’t cover termite damage. Insurance companies classify it as preventable maintenance, which means you’re paying out of pocket for every repair. Prevention isn’t just cheaper—it’s the only financially smart option when you’re living in an area with Florida’s termite density.
The problem with termites is that by the time you see obvious signs, they’ve usually been feeding for years. But there are things you can watch for.
Mud tubes on your foundation or exterior walls are the clearest indicator. Subterranean termites build these tunnels to travel between soil and wood without exposure to air. You’ll also want to check for wood that sounds hollow when tapped, sagging floors or ceilings, or small piles of what looks like sawdust near wooden structures.
During swarming season (October through February in Florida), you might see winged termites around windows or doors, or find discarded wings on windowsills. Swarmers are reproductive termites leaving an established colony to start new ones. If you’re seeing swarmers inside your home, there’s likely a colony already active in your structure. That’s when you call immediately.
Annual inspections are the standard recommendation for Florida homeowners, and that’s what our termite protection plans include. Given that Florida has some of the worst termite pressure in the country, yearly monitoring isn’t excessive—it’s necessary.
Some situations call for more frequent checks. If your home has had previous termite activity, if you’re in an area with high moisture, or if your property has a lot of wood-to-ground contact, you might benefit from semi-annual inspections.
Real estate transactions also require inspections regardless of your regular schedule. If you’re buying or selling a home in Tommytown, FL, lenders and buyers typically require a WDO inspection to confirm there’s no active infestation or existing damage. We handle those inspections and provide the official reports needed to close the transaction.
Our annual termite protection plan in Tommytown, FL includes scheduled inspections, treatment reapplication as needed, and ongoing monitoring between visits. You’re not paying for a one-time service and then you’re on your own.
Each inspection covers your foundation, crawl spaces, attics, and any wood structures on your property. We’re checking for new termite activity, moisture issues that could attract termites, and the integrity of existing treatment barriers. If we find anything concerning, we address it as part of your plan—you’re not getting surprise bills for follow-up treatments.
You also get direct access to us between scheduled visits. If you notice something that worries you, you call and we respond within 24 hours. That access alone is worth the investment, because early detection is everything with termites. The sooner we catch activity, the less damage occurs and the simpler the treatment.
Modern termite treatments are designed to target termites specifically while minimizing exposure to people and pets. The products we use are approved by the EPA and applied according to strict Florida regulations.
Liquid treatments create a barrier in the soil around your foundation. Once the product is applied and absorbed into the ground, there’s no residue on surfaces your family or pets contact. Monitoring stations use bait that termites carry back to their colony—the bait stays inside the station, not spread around your yard.
We’ll walk you through exactly what we’re using and what precautions make sense for your situation. If you have specific concerns about children, pets, or sensitivities, tell us during the inspection. We can adjust our approach or timing to address those concerns while still protecting your home effectively. Your safety and your home’s protection aren’t competing priorities—both matter.
Local companies know the specific termite species, soil conditions, and environmental factors in your area. Termite behavior in Tommytown, FL is different from termite behavior in other parts of the country—or even other parts of Florida.
When you work with Around The Clock Pest Service, you’re working directly with the owner. You’re not navigating a call center or dealing with different technicians every visit. You get consistent service from someone who knows your property, remembers your concerns, and has a personal stake in doing the job right.
We also respond faster. When you call, we answer—24/7, even weekends. If you need service, we’re there within 24 hours, not whenever corporate scheduling gets around to your area. For termites, speed matters. The difference between catching an infestation early and letting it spread for weeks while you wait for an appointment can mean thousands of dollars in additional damage.
