You wake up to ants in your kitchen. Roaches scurrying across your bathroom floor. Termites eating your home’s foundation while you sleep. These aren’t just annoyances—they’re threats to your family’s health and your property’s value.
Here’s what happens when you call Around The Clock Pest Service: Your phone rings once, maybe twice, and George answers personally. No phone trees, no waiting on hold. Within hours, not days, a state-certified exterminator is at your door with the right tools and expertise to eliminate your pest problem completely.
Your home becomes the safe, comfortable space it should be. No more checking corners for roaches. No more worrying about what’s crawling around while your kids play. Just peace of mind that comes from working with someone who treats your home like their own.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been protecting Drexel families and businesses since we opened our doors. We’re not another faceless corporation with call centers and quotas. George and Mary run this business personally, which means when you call, you’re talking to someone who lives here, works here, and cares about this community.
Every technician is state-certified and trained to handle Florida’s unique pest challenges. From Drexel’s humid climate that attracts termites and roaches to the seasonal influx of ants and mosquitoes, we know exactly what you’re dealing with because we deal with it too.
We’ve earned over 100 five-star reviews and BBB accreditation because we do what we say we’ll do. When other companies are closed, we’re available. When other companies take weeks to schedule, we’re there the same day. That’s the difference between working with a family business and everyone else.
Call us at any time, day or night, weekends included. George answers personally and provides most quotes right over the phone. No waiting for callbacks or appointments just to get pricing.
We schedule your service for the same day whenever possible, often within hours of your call. Our state-certified exterminator arrives with professional equipment and the expertise to identify exactly what pests you’re dealing with and where they’re coming from.
We eliminate the current infestation using targeted treatments that are safe for your family and pets. Then we create a barrier to prevent future invasions. Before we leave, we explain exactly what we found, what we did, and what you can expect moving forward. No surprises, no upselling, just honest service that gets results.

Living in Drexel means dealing with Florida’s year-round pest activity. Our humid climate and lush vegetation create perfect conditions for ants, roaches, termites, rodents, and mosquitoes to thrive. That’s why we offer comprehensive pest control services designed specifically for our local environment.
Our termite inspections use the latest detection technology to find evidence of damage before it becomes costly. We handle everything from quarterly prevention treatments that keep common pests away to emergency rodent control when you hear scratching in your walls. For real estate transactions, our WDO inspections help buyers and sellers move forward with confidence.
We also provide military discounts and special pricing for new homeowners because we believe everyone in Drexel deserves a pest-free home. Whether you’re dealing with an active infestation or want to prevent problems before they start, we customize our approach to your specific needs and budget.
We provide true 24/7 emergency service, which means George answers his phone personally even on weekends and holidays. Most pest control companies make you wait until Monday morning or the next business day, but pests don’t follow business hours.
When you call with an emergency—whether it’s a wasp nest blocking your front door, rats in your kitchen, or a termite swarm in your living room—we typically respond the same day, often within a few hours. We keep our service area focused on Drexel and surrounding Hernando County communities so we can reach you quickly.
For non-emergency situations, we usually schedule service within 24-48 hours, which is much faster than the week-plus wait times you’ll get from larger companies. This quick response time is possible because we’re locally owned and operated, not trying to manage hundreds of technicians across multiple states.
Drexel’s warm, humid climate creates ideal conditions for several troublesome pests. Ants are probably the most common issue we see, especially during Florida’s wet season when they seek higher ground inside homes. Fire ants are particularly aggressive and dangerous for families with small children or pets.
Cockroaches thrive in our environment, with palmetto bugs (Florida woods roaches) being especially common. These can grow over an inch long and often surprise homeowners when they appear suddenly. German cockroaches are smaller but multiply rapidly and can spread bacteria throughout your kitchen and bathrooms.
Termites are a year-round threat in Drexel, with both subterranean and drywood species causing billions in damage across Florida annually. We also frequently treat for rodents, especially during cooler months when mice and rats seek warm shelter. Mosquitoes, spiders, and occasional scorpions round out the list of pests that regularly invade Drexel homes.
Yes, we provide free quotes, and George can give you pricing for most services right over the phone. This saves you time and eliminates the pressure tactics used by companies that insist on in-home sales presentations before giving you a price.
Our standard service includes a thorough inspection to identify the type and extent of your pest problem, targeted treatment using professional-grade products that are safe around families and pets, and a follow-up plan to prevent re-infestation. We explain everything we find and everything we do—no surprises or hidden fees.
For ongoing protection, our quarterly prevention service creates a barrier around your home and includes free callbacks between visits if you see any pest activity. We also offer military discounts and special pricing for new homeowners. Every service comes with our personal guarantee because when you work with a family business, your satisfaction is our reputation.
Absolutely. As a family-owned business, George and Mary understand that your family’s safety comes first. We use EPA-approved products and application methods that are specifically designed to be effective against pests while remaining safe around children and pets when applied properly.
Our state-certified technicians are trained in the latest integrated pest management techniques, which means we use the least amount of product necessary to solve your problem. We often use targeted baiting systems and crack-and-crevice treatments that place products exactly where pests travel, not where your family lives.
Before any treatment, we explain what products we’re using and any precautions you should take. For most interior treatments, you can return to treated areas once surfaces are dry, typically within a few hours. We’re always happy to schedule treatments when children and pets can be away from the home if that gives you additional peace of mind.
The biggest difference is that you work directly with the business owners, not employees who don’t have decision-making authority. When you call, George answers personally. When you need service, George or his trained technicians show up. There’s no corporate bureaucracy or phone tag—just direct, personal service.
We’re available 24/7 because pest emergencies don’t happen on a convenient schedule. Try calling other companies at 8 PM on a Saturday when wasps are swarming your porch, and you’ll understand why this matters. We also provide same-day service in most cases, while larger companies often book weeks out.
Our 100+ five-star Google reviews and BBB accreditation reflect our commitment to doing the job right the first time. We offer military discounts and support new homeowners because we’re part of this community. When you choose Around The Clock Pest Service, you’re supporting a local family business that reinvests in Drexel, not sending your money to some corporate headquarters in another state.
Yes, we provide comprehensive pest control for both residential and commercial properties throughout Drexel and Hernando County. Our commercial services include restaurants, office buildings, retail stores, warehouses, and other business facilities that need reliable pest management to protect their reputation and comply with health regulations.
Commercial pest control requires specialized knowledge of industry regulations, discreet service that doesn’t disrupt business operations, and flexible scheduling that works around your business hours. We understand that a pest problem can shut down a restaurant or damage a retail store’s reputation, so we prioritize emergency commercial calls.
For businesses, we develop customized treatment plans that address your specific industry’s pest challenges. We also provide detailed service reports and documentation that many businesses need for insurance or regulatory compliance. Whether you need one-time treatment for a specific problem or ongoing prevention service, we work with your schedule and budget to keep your business pest-free.
