Termites can feed on your home for three to five years before you notice anything. By then, the damage is done—and your insurance won’t cover it because it’s considered preventable. That’s the reality in Trinity and across Pasco County, where Florida’s warm, humid climate creates perfect conditions for subterranean termites.
You’re not just protecting wood. You’re protecting equity, resale value, and the financial security you’ve worked for. An annual termite protection plan gives you regular inspections, early detection, and treatment before a small problem turns into a $15,000 repair bill.
Most homeowners don’t think about termites until they see swarmers or find damage during a real estate inspection. But by that point, the colony has been active for years. Prevention costs a fraction of what repairs do—and it keeps your home off the market for all the wrong reasons.
Around The Clock Pest Service is a family-run business serving Trinity, Spring Hill, and surrounding areas in Pasco and Hernando Counties. You work directly with the owners—not a call center, not a rotating crew. When you call, even on weekends or after hours, you get a real person who knows your property and your concerns.
We’re state-certified and trained specifically on Florida termite species, including the subterranean termites that thrive in this region. With over 100 five-star reviews, we’ve built our reputation on transparency, fast response times, and doing what we say we’ll do. We also offer discounts for new homeowners and military families, because we know how much goes into protecting a home in Florida.
We start with a thorough inspection of your property—inside, outside, and underneath if there’s a crawl space. Termites only need a crack 1/32nd of an inch to get in, so we check foundations, door frames, window sills, and anywhere wood meets soil. If we find activity, we’ll show you exactly where it is and what it means.
Treatment depends on what we find. For active infestations, we use targeted applications to eliminate the colony. For prevention, we create a barrier around your home that stops termites before they get inside. Most treatments take a few hours, and you can usually stay in your home during the process.
After treatment, we set up an annual termite protection plan with regular inspections to make sure your home stays clear. We also provide WDO inspections if you’re buying or selling, so you can close on time without surprises. You’ll always know what’s happening, what it costs, and what comes next—no guessing, no runaround.

Your termite prevention services in Spring Hill FL and Trinity include a full property inspection, customized treatment based on your home’s construction and risk level, and a protection plan that covers follow-up visits. We treat for both subterranean and drywood termites, the two most common species in Pasco County.
In Florida, there are 13 subterranean termite colonies per acre. It’s not a question of if they’ll find your home—it’s when. That’s why ongoing monitoring matters. We check high-risk areas like crawl spaces, garages, and anywhere moisture collects. If we see early signs of activity, we treat it before it becomes a problem.
You also get access to our team 24/7. If you see swarmers, notice damage, or just want to ask a question, you can reach us directly. Most quotes are provided over the phone, and we respond within 24 hours—even on weekends. We’re local, we’re available, and we’re not going anywhere.
Most termite prevention treatments cost between $800 and $4,000 depending on the size of your home, the type of treatment, and whether there’s an active infestation. If you’re just getting an inspection, expect to pay between $50 and $325. That’s a small price compared to the $15,000+ you could spend repairing termite damage.
We provide most quotes over the phone after asking a few questions about your property. If we need to come out for a visual inspection, we’ll schedule it fast—usually within a day or two. We also offer annual termite protection plans that include regular inspections and retreatment if needed, which spreads the cost out and keeps your home covered year-round.
Prevention always costs less than repairs. And since most homeowners’ insurance won’t cover termite damage, paying for protection now saves you from paying out of pocket later.
The most obvious sign is swarmers—winged termites that emerge in late winter or early spring. If you see them around windows, doors, or light fixtures, there’s likely a colony nearby. You might also notice mud tubes along your foundation, which subterranean termites use to travel between soil and wood.
Other signs include hollow-sounding wood, sagging floors, or small holes in drywall. Paint that bubbles or peels for no clear reason can also indicate termites feeding underneath. The problem is that most of these signs don’t show up until the infestation has been active for years.
That’s why inspections matter. We can spot early activity before you see damage—things like discarded wings, frass (termite droppings), or moisture buildup in areas termites target. Catching it early means less damage, lower treatment costs, and no surprises when you go to sell.
Once a year is the standard recommendation, especially in Florida where termite pressure is high year-round. If your home has had termites before, or if you live near wooded areas or have moisture issues, you might want inspections twice a year.
Annual inspections let us catch new activity before it spreads. Termites work slowly, but they work constantly. A colony that’s just getting started is much easier (and cheaper) to treat than one that’s been feeding for three years. Regular inspections also give you documentation if you ever need to prove your home has been maintained—helpful for resale or insurance purposes.
We include inspections as part of our annual termite protection plan, so you’re not paying separately each time. We’ll come out, check the property, and let you know if anything’s changed. If we find new activity, we treat it under your plan. Simple as that.
Yes, but the treatment has to be designed for Florida conditions. Subterranean termites thrive in warm, humid environments, which is why they’re so common in Trinity and Spring Hill. The treatments we use create a barrier in the soil around your home that termites can’t cross without picking up the treatment and bringing it back to the colony.
We also treat wood directly in some cases, especially for drywood termites that don’t need soil contact. Florida’s humidity actually helps some treatments spread through the colony faster, as long as the application is done correctly. That’s where state certification and local experience matter—you need someone who knows how termites behave in this specific climate.
Treatments typically last several years, but we recommend annual inspections to make sure the barrier is still intact and no new colonies have moved in. Florida has 13 subterranean termite colonies per acre, so ongoing monitoring is the only way to stay ahead of them.
A WDO (Wood Destroying Organism) inspection is a specific type of inspection required for most real estate transactions in Florida. It covers termites, but also wood-boring beetles, carpenter ants, and fungus that damages wood. Lenders and buyers usually require a WDO report before closing.
A standard termite inspection focuses only on termites—whether there’s an active infestation, signs of past activity, or conditions that make your home vulnerable. It’s more detailed in some ways because we’re looking specifically at termite behavior and risk factors, not just checking boxes for a real estate deal.
We offer both. If you’re buying or selling a home in Trinity, we can complete your WDO inspection and provide the report your lender needs. If you’re a current homeowner just wanting to make sure your property is protected, a termite-focused inspection gives you more targeted information. Either way, you’re working with someone who’s state-certified and knows what to look for in Pasco County homes.
You can reduce your risk by fixing leaks, keeping mulch away from your foundation, and removing wood debris from your yard. Those steps help, but they won’t stop termites. Subterranean termites live underground and travel through soil to reach your home—they don’t need visible wood to find a way in.
Professional treatment creates a chemical barrier that kills termites on contact and prevents new colonies from establishing. DIY products don’t have the same active ingredients or application methods, and they’re not designed to treat an entire property. If you already have an infestation, DIY treatments won’t eliminate the colony—they’ll just push it to another part of your home.
The bigger issue is that termites can be feeding on your structure for years before you know they’re there. By the time you see damage, the colony is established and the repairs are expensive. A professional inspection catches activity early, and professional treatment stops it before it spreads. That’s not something you can replicate with a hardware store product.
