Living in a 55+ manufactured home community built around an 18-hole golf course sounds like the ideal retirement setup — and it is, until the fire ants migrate in from the fairway, or you come back from up north in October and find out something has been living in your walls since June. When a home sits vacant during Florida’s most pest-active months, surrounded by irrigated turf and bordered by the natural habitats of the Weeki Wachee preserve system, that’s exactly what happens in High Point.
When pest control is handled correctly, you stop reacting and start preventing. Your quarterly prevention program keeps a barrier in place whether you’re home or spending the summer up north. The undercarriage of your manufactured home — one of the most common entry points for rodents and subterranean termites in a community like High Point — stays inspected and protected on a schedule, not just when something goes wrong.
The difference isn’t dramatic. It’s just quieter. No scratching in the walls when you’re trying to sleep. No swarm of termites on a Sunday morning. No roach problem in a kitchen that was perfectly clean when you left in May. That’s what a real pest control plan looks like for a High Point homeowner — consistent, honest, and built around how you actually live here.
Around The Clock Pest Service is a family-owned, owner-operated business serving Hernando County and the surrounding area — including High Point and its neighboring communities along the State Road 50 corridor. When you call, you reach the owner directly. There’s no call center routing your request to whoever’s available.
We hold multiple active Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services licenses through 2027, carry a BBB A+ rating, and have earned over 100 five-star Google reviews from real residents across Hernando and Pasco County. No subcontractors. No surprise fees. Most quotes are handled right over the phone so you’re not waiting around for an appointment just to find out what something costs.
Special discounts are available for military families and new homeowners — including residents who’ve recently added a manufactured home to a lot in High Point. If you’ve got a pest problem or just want to get ahead of one, a personal response is guaranteed within 24 hours, every day of the week.
It starts with a phone call — and for most jobs, that’s where the quote happens too. You describe what you’re seeing, where you’re seeing it, and how long it’s been going on. From there, most High Point residents get a clear answer on cost and next steps without needing to schedule a separate consultation. That matters when you’re on a fixed schedule and don’t want to waste a morning waiting on someone who may or may not show up.
Once the visit is scheduled, a licensed technician — not a subcontractor — comes to your home and does a proper inspection before anything is applied. In a manufactured home community like High Point, that means checking the undercarriage space, the skirting seams, the utility penetrations, and the perimeter of your home for signs of termite activity, rodent entry, or active infestation. The golf course environment and the proximity to North Weeki Wachee’s natural habitats mean pest pressure in this community doesn’t come from one direction — so the inspection covers all of them.
Treatment is applied based on what’s actually found, not a one-size-fits-all spray. If you’re setting up a quarterly prevention program — which is especially valuable if you spend part of the year outside of Florida — the schedule is built around your calendar, not ours. And if something comes up between visits, a 24/7 response means you’re never left waiting through a weekend with an active problem and no one to call.

We handle the full range of residential pest needs — termite inspections, rodent control, roach and ant extermination, flea treatments, spider control, and WDO inspections for real estate transactions. For High Point residents, a few of those services carry more weight than others.
Termite inspections matter here because subterranean termites swarm across Hernando County from January through May, and manufactured homes give them multiple ground-contact entry points that site-built homes simply don’t have. Rodent control matters because roof rats are highly active along Florida’s Nature Coast, and a home that backs up to the tree canopy near Weeki Wachee is exactly the kind of target they look for. Quarterly prevention programs matter most of all for snowbirds — because a home that sits empty from May through October needs a barrier that works whether you’re in it or not.
All services are performed by licensed, insured technicians using EPA-compliant products. Application methods are targeted and appropriate for the manufactured home environment, and re-entry timing is communicated clearly before any treatment is applied. If you’re a new homeowner in High Point or a military family in the Hernando County area, ask about current discount pricing when you call. We make professional extermination services in High Point, FL accessible and straightforward — not a process you have to fight through just to protect your home.
Yes — and it’s worth understanding why. Manufactured homes often have wood components that sit closer to ground level than site-built homes, and the skirting panels that enclose the undercarriage are frequently made of or attached to wood or cellulose-containing materials. Subterranean termites in Hernando County forage through the soil and enter structures at ground contact points — which means the design characteristics of most manufactured homes create more potential entry opportunities than a poured concrete foundation with a traditional frame above it.
In a community like High Point, where many homes were built in the 1980s and 1990s and the surrounding soil stays moist year-round from golf course irrigation, that risk is compounded. Aging skirting, worn utility penetrations, and decades of settling all create gaps that weren’t there when the home was new. An annual termite inspection — at minimum — is the most cost-effective way to catch activity before it becomes structural damage. The average repair bill for termite damage runs around $3,000, and homeowner’s insurance typically doesn’t cover it.
Golf course turf is irrigated constantly, which keeps the surrounding soil moist even during dry stretches. That’s ideal foraging territory for subterranean termite colonies and fire ant populations, both of which are active year-round in Hernando County. If your lot lines the fairway or backs up to any of the course’s maintained landscaping in High Point, you’re essentially living adjacent to a large, well-watered habitat that never really goes dormant.
Beyond termites and ants, the water features and low-lying areas near the course provide consistent mosquito breeding conditions throughout Florida’s warm months. Residents near the North Weeki Wachee side of the High Point community also see more wildlife encroachment — roof rats moving through the tree canopy, the occasional armadillo disturbing the yard — because the preserve system to the north and west creates a steady pipeline of activity into the neighborhood. A quarterly prevention program is the practical answer to this kind of persistent, multi-directional pest pressure.
This is one of the most common situations we handle in this part of Hernando County. Homes that sit vacant from May through October are at elevated risk for a few specific reasons: there’s no one present to notice early warning signs, Florida’s heat and humidity peak during those months, and pests that find an undisturbed space tend to establish quickly rather than move on.
The most effective protection is a quarterly prevention program that keeps an active barrier in place on a schedule — not just when you’re home to notice something. Treatments are applied to the exterior perimeter, entry points, and any identified vulnerability areas so that your home is protected between visits. If something changes between scheduled treatments — evidence of rodent activity, a termite swarm, a new entry point — we’ll call you. The goal is that when you come back to High Point in the fall, you walk into a home that’s been looked after, not one that needs a remediation project before you can settle in.
For most standard services, you can get a clear number over the phone without scheduling a separate visit. General pest prevention plans in the Hernando County area typically run in the range of $40 to $100 per month depending on the size of the home and the scope of coverage. Single-treatment visits for a specific pest — roaches, ants, rodents — generally fall between $145 and $675 depending on the severity of the infestation and what’s involved in treating it properly.
Termite treatment for a manufactured home varies more widely based on the treatment method and how far the activity has spread, but it’s reasonable to budget $250 to $1,000 or more for a full treatment. The honest framing is this: a quarterly prevention program is a predictable, manageable cost. An emergency treatment after an infestation has established — or structural repair from untreated termite damage — is not. For High Point residents on a fixed income, prevention is almost always the better financial decision.
Florida requires all structural pest control operators to hold an active license issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services — commonly referred to as FDACS. This isn’t optional or a formality; it’s the legal requirement for anyone applying pesticides inside or around a home in this state. The FDACS maintains a public license lookup tool online where you can verify any company’s credentials before you let them on your property.
We hold multiple active FDACS licenses through 2027, maintained through ongoing EPA training requirements. That’s worth asking about before hiring anyone — especially in a community like High Point where unlicensed operators occasionally solicit door-to-door. An A+ BBB rating and verifiable state licensing are the two most reliable indicators that you’re dealing with a legitimate, accountable business rather than someone who’s going to take your money and leave you with the same problem.
Yes — we offer special pricing for military families and new homeowners. High Point has a meaningful number of residents with military backgrounds, and the community continues to see new manufactured homes added to available lots as people choose this part of Hernando County for retirement. Both groups tend to be coming into a pest control relationship fresh — either new to the property or new to the area — and the discount is a straightforward way to make it easier to start a prevention program from the beginning rather than waiting until there’s already a problem to solve.
If you’ve recently purchased a home in High Point or moved a new manufactured home onto a lot, that new homeowner discount applies to you. Call and ask about it when you reach out — it takes about thirty seconds to confirm eligibility, and most quotes are handled right on that same call.
