When you live off US 301 in eastern Pasco County, pest pressure doesn’t come from one direction — it comes from all of them. The agricultural land surrounding Clinton Heights pushes rodents and fire ants toward residential properties every time a nearby field gets plowed or a dry spell hits. The rolling terrain creates moisture pockets near foundations that subterranean termites treat like an invitation. And the homes themselves — many built decades ago, long before modern pest-resistant construction was standard — have had years to develop the gaps, aging wood, and crawl space conditions that pests exploit.
Getting rid of the problem you can see is only part of the job. The real outcome is knowing that what’s behind your walls, under your floors, and in your attic isn’t quietly undoing your home while you go about your day. That’s what professional pest control actually delivers — not just a treated perimeter, but a home you don’t have to worry about.
For Clinton Heights homeowners, that peace of mind is specific. It means your older wood framing isn’t feeding a termite colony. It means the rodents that were living in the field behind your property aren’t now living in your attic. It means your quarterly prevention plan is working before you ever have a reason to call in a panic.
Around The Clock Pest Service is a family-owned pest control company serving Clinton Heights, the Dade City corridor, and communities throughout eastern Pasco and Hernando Counties. Every client works directly with the owner — not a dispatcher, not a subcontractor, not whoever happens to be available. When you call, the person who answers is the same person who shows up at your Clinton Heights home.
We built this business as a direct rejection of how the big national brands operate. You’ve probably experienced it — the call center, the rotating technicians, the invoice that doesn’t match the quote. That’s not how we work. Quotes are given over the phone, upfront, before anyone comes to your door. Responses happen within 24 hours, seven days a week, including weekends.
With multiple FDACS licenses active through 2027, a BBB A+ rating, and over 100 five-star Google reviews from real families in Clinton Heights and surrounding communities, the track record speaks for itself. We’ve built this business on accountability to the neighborhoods we actually serve — and Clinton Heights is one of them.
It starts with a phone call — and unlike most pest control companies, that call actually goes somewhere useful. You describe what you’re seeing, where you’re seeing it, and how long it’s been going on. From there, you get a real quote over the phone. No scheduling an in-home consultation just to find out the price. No vague ranges. A number you can actually plan around.
When our technician arrives in Clinton Heights — someone who understands the specific conditions of eastern Pasco County — the inspection covers more than the obvious. Older homes along the US 301 corridor often have entry points that aren’t visible from the main living areas: roofline gaps, aging pipe penetrations, crawl space vulnerabilities, and foundation-level moisture conditions that are common in this area’s rolling terrain. We account for all of it.
Treatment is matched to what’s actually found, not applied from a one-size-fits-all checklist. If a quarterly prevention plan makes sense for your property — and for most Clinton Heights homes near agricultural land, it does — we explain that clearly, with no pressure. Follow-up is built into our process, not something you have to chase. And because subterranean termite swarms in this part of Florida can start as early as January, we’ll walk you through timing your first service before spring.

The pest profile in Clinton Heights isn’t the same as a newer suburban development in Wesley Chapel or a coastal community on the Gulf side of Pasco County. The combination of older housing stock, proximity to agricultural land, subtropical climate, and the moisture dynamics created by the area’s rolling terrain produces a specific set of problems — and we’ve built our services around that reality.
Termite inspections and treatments cover both subterranean and drywood species, with Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) reports available for real estate transactions — an important service in Clinton Heights, where older homes change hands regularly and where Florida law requires a WDO report for most sales. Rodent control addresses both the active infestation and the entry points that allowed it, which in Clinton Heights homes often means roofline and soffit gaps that have developed over decades. General pest prevention covers the roaches, fire ants, ghost ants, and spiders that thrive year-round in this climate. We offer quarterly prevention programs for properties near field edges or with older structural characteristics.
All services are performed by licensed, insured technicians — no subcontractors, ever. We offer special discounts for new homeowners and military families in the Clinton Heights and Dade City area. If you’ve recently purchased a home here and haven’t had a professional pest inspection yet, that’s the right place to start.
Clinton Heights sits in eastern Pasco County, surrounded by agricultural land and with a housing stock that dates back to 1929 — and that combination produces a pest list that’s broader than what most homeowners expect. Subterranean termites are the most serious structural threat, and they’re active year-round in this climate with swarm season running from January through May. Drywood termites are also present, particularly in older Clinton Heights homes with aging fascia, soffits, and wood framing.
Beyond termites, roof rats are a consistent problem in this area — they enter through roofline gaps and aging pipe penetrations that are common in older construction. German cockroaches, ghost ants, and fire ants round out the list, with fire ant pressure elevated for properties near the agricultural fields and open acreage that surround the Clinton Heights corridor. The subtropical climate means none of these pests go dormant in winter, which is why waiting until you see something is rarely the right strategy here.
Pricing depends on what you’re dealing with and the size of your property, but here’s a realistic range for the Clinton Heights area. A general pest prevention plan typically runs between $40 and $100 per month. An initial service visit — which includes inspection and first treatment — generally falls between $175 and $350. Rodent control starts around $150 for a basic treatment, with comprehensive exclusion work ranging from $200 to $1,000 depending on how many entry points need to be sealed and the extent of the infestation.
What you won’t get with us is a price that changes between the quote and the invoice. Most quotes are provided over the phone before anyone comes to your Clinton Heights property — so you know the number going in, not after the fact. For homeowners comparing options, that transparency is worth factoring into the decision alongside the price itself.
Generally, yes — and the reason is structural, not just about age. Homes built before modern pest-resistant construction standards were codified have characteristics that create more entry points and more harborage opportunities than newer builds. Pier-and-beam foundations, older wood framing, crawl spaces, and aging rooflines all give pests more ways in and more places to establish themselves once they’re inside.
In Clinton Heights specifically, where a significant portion of the housing stock dates back several decades, quarterly prevention programs are the professional standard rather than the exception. The subtropical climate means there’s no cold-weather reset that kills off colonies between treatments, and the proximity to agricultural land means the source of new pest pressure is ongoing. A quarterly plan keeps the perimeter treated consistently, so you’re not starting from scratch every time a field gets disturbed or the rainy season drives moisture toward your foundation.
A Wood-Destroying Organism (WDO) inspection is a state-certified evaluation of a property for evidence of termites, wood-decaying fungi, and other organisms that damage structural wood. In Florida, a WDO report is required for most real estate transactions — meaning if you’re buying or selling a home in Clinton Heights, this inspection isn’t optional.
For buyers, a WDO inspection is one of the most important steps before closing. Homes in Clinton Heights and the broader Dade City corridor are older on average, and termite damage that isn’t caught before closing becomes the new owner’s problem. Homes with a history of termite damage typically sell for 3 to 5 percent less than comparable properties, and most homeowners insurance policies explicitly exclude termite damage from coverage. We’re certified to produce WDO reports, which means you can get your pest inspection and your WDO report from the same licensed professional — one call, one visit, one less thing to coordinate before your closing date.
We guarantee a response within 24 hours, seven days a week — including weekends. For most situations in the Clinton Heights area, that means same-day or next-day service rather than waiting until the following business week. The owner personally responds to calls and messages, so you’re not leaving a voicemail that sits in a queue until Monday morning.
For genuine emergencies — an active termite swarm, a rodent inside the living space, or a significant infestation that can’t wait — our 24/7 availability means you reach a real person who can assess the situation and get something scheduled immediately. Eastern Pasco County is part of our regular service area, so Clinton Heights isn’t an outlying call that gets deprioritized. It’s a community we already work in regularly, which means response times are realistic, not aspirational.
Yes — we offer special pricing for both new homeowners and military families, and both groups are well-represented in the Clinton Heights and Dade City area. For new homeowners specifically, the discount reflects something practical: if you’ve just purchased a home in Clinton Heights, particularly an older one along the US 301 corridor, a professional pest inspection in the first year of ownership is one of the most useful things you can do. Standard home inspections don’t always catch early-stage termite activity, rodent entry points in the roofline, or the moisture conditions near the foundation that signal subterranean termite risk.
Getting ahead of those issues early — before they become structural damage or a significant infestation — is genuinely less expensive than addressing them after the fact. The new homeowner discount makes that first step easier to take. Military families in the area can ask about current pricing when they call. Availability and terms are confirmed directly with the owner, who handles all client communication personally.
