You’ll sleep better knowing your Gulf Harbors property is protected from the roaches, termites, and rodents that thrive in our humid Gulf Coast climate. No more wondering if that rustling sound is just the wind. No more embarrassment when guests spot a palmetto bug scurrying across your kitchen floor.
Our comprehensive approach means you’re not just getting a quick spray and goodbye. You’re getting a partner who understands that Gulf Harbors homes face unique challenges from moisture-loving pests that breed year-round in Florida’s subtropical environment.
When we’re done, you’ll have a clear plan, honest pricing, and the confidence that comes from working with a family business that’s been earning five-star reviews from your neighbors for years.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been protecting Gulf Harbors families and their homes throughout Hernando and neighboring Florida counties. When you call us, you’re talking directly to the owner—not a call center, not a rotating cast of technicians who don’t know your property.
We’ve built our reputation on being the exterminator Gulf Harbors residents recommend to their friends and family. Over 100 five-star Google reviews don’t happen by accident. They happen because we show up when we say we will, do what we promise, and treat every home like it’s our own.
As a waterfront community, Gulf Harbors faces specific pest pressures that many exterminators don’t fully understand. We do. We know how the humidity from your proximity to the Gulf affects pest behavior, and we tailor our treatments accordingly.
First, you call and speak directly with the owner. Most quotes happen right over the phone because we believe in transparent pricing. No games, no “we need to see it first” when you’re describing a standard pest issue.
Next, we schedule your service—often the same day if it’s urgent. We arrive on time, conduct a thorough inspection of your Gulf Harbors property, and explain exactly what we found and what we recommend. You’ll understand the why behind our treatment plan.
Then we get to work. We don’t just spray and leave. We target the specific pests affecting your home using methods proven effective in Gulf Coast conditions. Before we finish, we’ll walk you through what we did and what you can expect moving forward.
Finally, we follow up. Pest control isn’t a one-and-done service, especially in Gulf Harbors where our year-round warm climate keeps pests active. We’ll make sure you’re completely satisfied and discuss ongoing protection options that make sense for your situation.

Our Gulf Harbors exterminator services cover everything from emergency same-day treatments to comprehensive quarterly prevention programs. We handle termite inspections, rodent control, and WDO real estate inspections—all backed by state certifications and local expertise.
Living in Gulf Harbors means dealing with pests that many other Florida areas don’t face as intensely. Your waterfront location creates perfect breeding conditions for mosquitoes, your humid environment attracts palmetto bugs, and the sandy soil common in coastal areas provides ideal nesting for various ant species.
We understand these local challenges because we’ve been serving this community for years. We know which treatments work best in Gulf Harbors’ unique environment, and we adjust our methods based on seasonal pest patterns specific to your area.
Whether you’re a year-round resident or seasonal homeowner, we offer flexible service plans that fit your needs. New homeowners get special pricing, and we extend discounts to military families as our way of saying thank you for your service.
We offer same-day service for urgent pest situations in Gulf Harbors, often arriving within hours of your call. Unlike larger companies that route calls through distant call centers, you speak directly with the owner who can immediately assess your situation and dispatch help.
Emergency situations like sudden termite swarms, aggressive wasp nests, or rodent infestations get priority scheduling. We understand that when pests invade your Gulf Harbors home, waiting days for service isn’t an option. Our 24/7 availability means you can reach us even on weekends when many pest problems seem to appear.
Most importantly, we provide realistic timeframes upfront. If we can’t get there the same day, we’ll tell you exactly when we can arrive and provide guidance on immediate steps you can take to minimize the problem until we reach your property.
The biggest difference is that you work directly with the owner on every service call—no rotating technicians, no call centers, no wondering who’s going to show up at your door. This personal approach means we know your property, remember your pest history, and can spot potential problems before they become major infestations.
We also provide most quotes over the phone because we believe in transparent pricing. When you describe your pest issue, we can usually give you an accurate estimate immediately rather than requiring an expensive “inspection fee” just to tell you what the actual service will cost.
Our focus on relationship-building rather than volume sales means we take time to educate Gulf Harbors homeowners about prevention strategies specific to coastal Florida living. You’re not just getting pest elimination—you’re getting knowledge that helps prevent future problems and saves you money long-term.
Yes, we offer quarterly prevention programs specifically designed for Gulf Harbors’ year-round pest pressure. Florida’s subtropical climate means pests don’t go dormant in winter like they do in northern states, so consistent prevention is essential for maintaining a pest-free home.
Our quarterly services target the seasonal pest cycles common in Gulf Coast areas. Spring treatments focus on termite prevention before swarm season, summer services emphasize mosquito and ant control, fall treatments prepare for rodents seeking winter shelter, and winter services maintain barriers against pests that stay active year-round.
Each quarterly visit includes a thorough inspection of your property, targeted treatments based on current pest activity, and recommendations for simple maintenance steps you can take between services. We adjust our approach based on your property’s specific challenges—whether that’s moisture issues, landscaping that attracts pests, or structural vulnerabilities common in coastal homes.
Gulf Harbors’ waterfront location and humid climate create ideal conditions for several pest species. Palmetto bugs (large cockroaches) are extremely common, especially during summer months when they seek air-conditioned spaces. Formosan termites pose a significant threat to wooden structures, and they’re particularly aggressive in coastal Florida areas.
Rodents including roof rats and house mice frequently invade Gulf Harbors homes, especially during cooler months when they seek warm shelter. Various ant species thrive in the sandy soil common to your area, with fire ants and ghost ants being particularly problematic for homeowners.
Mosquitoes breed prolifically in the humid environment, and Gulf Coast ticks can be found year-round in landscaped areas. We also see frequent issues with spiders, including potentially dangerous species like black widows that hide in storage areas and garages. Understanding these local pest patterns allows us to provide more effective, targeted treatments for Gulf Harbors properties.
Absolutely. We use reduced-risk products that are effective against pests while being safe for your family and pets when applied correctly. As a family-owned business serving Gulf Harbors families, we understand that your children and pets spend time in the same spaces we’re treating.
We follow strict application protocols that minimize exposure while maximizing effectiveness against target pests. Most of our exterior treatments create barriers that pests encounter before entering your home, reducing the need for extensive indoor chemical applications. When indoor treatment is necessary, we use targeted applications in areas where pests hide but your family doesn’t frequent.
Before beginning any treatment, we discuss your specific concerns about pets or family members with sensitivities. We can adjust our approach, timing, or product selection to ensure everyone’s safety while still providing effective pest control. We also provide clear instructions about any precautions to take during or after treatment.
Yes, we provide comprehensive WDO (Wood Destroying Organism) inspections required for real estate transactions in Gulf Harbors and throughout Florida. These inspections are crucial in coastal areas where termite pressure is particularly high due to the humid environment and sandy soil conditions.
Our state-certified inspections examine all accessible areas of the property for signs of active termite infestations, previous damage, and conditions conducive to future infestations. We understand the urgency of real estate timelines and can often schedule inspections within 24-48 hours of your request.
We provide detailed written reports that meet Florida Department of Agriculture requirements and are accepted by all major lenders and title companies. If we discover any issues, we can also provide treatment estimates and work with buyers, sellers, and real estate agents to address problems quickly so transactions can proceed smoothly. Our goal is to provide accurate, honest assessments that protect all parties involved in the transaction.
