You’ll sleep better knowing termites aren’t silently destroying your investment. No more jumping at every shadow in the kitchen or wondering if that sound in the attic is something serious.
River Ridge’s warm, humid climate and proximity to the Indian River creates perfect conditions for year-round pest activity. While other areas get a winter break, your home faces constant pressure from ants, roaches, termites, and rodents.
That’s exactly why we focus on prevention, not just reaction. Our quarterly treatments create a protective barrier that stops problems before they start, saving you thousands in potential damage and countless sleepless nights.
We’re not some faceless corporate operation. When you call Around The Clock Pest Service, you work directly with the owner—someone who lives in your community and understands exactly what River Ridge homeowners face.
Over 100 five-star Google reviews don’t happen by accident. They come from showing up when we say we will, doing what we promise, and treating your home like it’s our own. We’ve built our reputation on honest communication and transparent pricing, with most quotes provided right over the phone.
Being state-certified means we know the regulations, the products, and the techniques that actually work in Florida’s unique climate. But being locally owned means we care about more than just compliance—we care about your family’s safety and your property’s protection.
First, we listen. Whether you’re calling about ants in the kitchen, strange sounds in the attic, or swarming termites, we take time to understand your specific situation. Most quotes happen right on that first call.
Next, we inspect thoroughly. Our state-certified technicians identify not just the pests you’re seeing, but the conditions that attracted them. We look for entry points, moisture sources, and structural vulnerabilities that could lead to bigger problems.
Then we treat strategically. No cookie-cutter approaches—we target the specific pests affecting your River Ridge home using methods that are effective but safe for your family and pets. We explain everything we’re doing and why.
Finally, we prevent future issues. Whether it’s quarterly maintenance, termite monitoring, or rodent exclusion, we create a customized plan that keeps your home protected year-round. And if pests return between visits, so do we—at no extra charge.

Living near the Indian River means dealing with unique pest pressures. The moisture from the waterway, combined with Florida’s year-round warmth, creates an environment where termites, ants, roaches, and rodents thrive constantly.
Our comprehensive services include termite inspections and treatments, rodent control and exclusion, quarterly pest prevention, and WDO inspections for real estate transactions. We also provide emergency 24/7 response because pest problems don’t follow business hours.
River Ridge homeowners particularly benefit from our preventive approach. Instead of waiting for infestations to establish, we create protective barriers around your property that stop pests before they become problems. This is especially crucial in areas like River Ridge where the warm, humid climate near water sources provides ideal breeding conditions.
We offer special discounts for new homeowners—because we know that moving to Florida often means learning about pest challenges the hard way. Military families also receive discounted rates as our way of saying thank you for your service.
We provide 24/7 emergency response, including weekends. Most calls receive same-day service, and we guarantee response within 24 hours.
Since you work directly with the owner, there’s no waiting for callbacks from dispatch centers or scheduling departments. When you have termites swarming or rodents in the attic, every hour matters. We understand that pest emergencies don’t wait for convenient times.
Our phone is answered personally, and we provide most quotes right during that initial call. This means you know what to expect before we even arrive, eliminating surprises and allowing you to make informed decisions quickly.
River Ridge’s location along the Indian River creates a perfect storm for pest activity. The constant moisture from the waterway, combined with Florida’s year-round warmth, means pests never get the winter break that naturally controls populations in other regions.
The area’s lush vegetation and proximity to water sources provide ideal breeding and nesting conditions for everything from termites to mosquitoes. Properties near water also deal with increased rodent pressure, as rats and mice follow waterways looking for food and shelter.
Additionally, the sandy soil common in coastal Florida areas allows subterranean termites to move easily between properties. This means even well-maintained homes can face termite pressure from neighboring areas, making professional monitoring and prevention essential rather than optional.
Yes, we provide special discounts for new homeowners and military families. New homeowners often discover Florida’s pest challenges after moving in, so we offer reduced rates to help them establish proper protection from the start.
Military families receive ongoing discounted rates as our way of supporting those who serve our community. We believe everyone deserves access to professional pest control, regardless of budget constraints.
We also provide free estimates and phone quotes, so you know exactly what to expect before committing to service. No hidden fees, no surprise charges—just transparent pricing that respects your time and budget.
Most River Ridge homes benefit from quarterly treatments due to the year-round pest pressure from the warm, humid climate. Unlike northern areas where pest activity slows in winter, Florida pests remain active 12 months a year.
Quarterly service creates a protective barrier around your home that prevents infestations before they start. This is far more cost-effective than treating established colonies, which can require multiple visits and specialized treatments.
However, every property is different. Homes closer to the water, with dense landscaping, or with previous pest issues may need more frequent attention. During our initial inspection, we assess your specific situation and recommend a treatment schedule that provides optimal protection for your investment.
Our termite inspections include a comprehensive examination of your home’s interior and exterior, focusing on areas where termites typically enter and establish colonies. We check foundation areas, crawl spaces, attics, and any wood-to-soil contact points.
In River Ridge’s sandy soil environment, we pay special attention to subterranean termite activity. We look for mud tubes, wood damage, and conducive conditions like moisture problems or structural vulnerabilities that attract termites.
You’ll receive a detailed written report explaining our findings, including photographs of any issues discovered. If treatment is needed, we explain your options clearly and provide upfront pricing. For real estate transactions, we provide WDO (Wood Destroying Organism) reports that meet all requirements for closing.
Local ownership means you work directly with someone who lives in your community and understands River Ridge’s specific pest challenges. We’re not following a corporate manual written for generic conditions—we’re applying decades of local experience to your unique situation.
When you call, you reach the owner personally, not a call center. This means faster response times, more flexible scheduling, and the ability to make decisions on the spot when situations require immediate attention.
We’re also invested in our reputation within the community. Our success depends on satisfied neighbors recommending us to other neighbors, not on meeting quotas set by distant corporate offices. This creates accountability and service quality that large companies simply can’t match.
