You know that feeling when you spot a roach in your kitchen or hear scratching in the walls at night. Your mind races to worst-case scenarios—termites eating your home’s structure, rodents spreading disease, fire ants threatening your kids in the backyard.

Hill ‘n Dale residents trust us because we don’t just spray and leave. We identify the root cause, eliminate current infestations, and put prevention measures in place so problems don’t return.
Around The Clock Pest Service isn’t some corporate chain with rotating technicians who don’t know your name. We’re your neighbors in Hernando County, and when you call, you’re talking directly to the owner.
Every service call gets our personal attention because your peace of mind matters to us. We’ve built our reputation on being available when you need us—not just during business hours, but around the clock, just like our name promises.
Our state certifications and 100+ five-star reviews didn’t happen by accident. They’re the result of treating every Hill ‘n Dale home like it’s our own family’s property.
First, we listen. When you call, we ask the right questions to understand exactly what you’re dealing with. Many times, we can provide an accurate quote right over the phone—no waiting days for someone to show up just to tell you the price.
Next comes the thorough inspection. We don’t just look at the obvious problem areas. Florida’s year-round pest activity means we check every potential entry point, moisture source, and hiding spot where pests love to establish colonies.
Then we create your customized treatment plan. Whether it’s termite protection, rodent exclusion, or quarterly prevention, we explain exactly what we’re doing and why. No mystery chemicals or surprise charges—just honest communication about protecting your home.
Ready to get started?
Hill ‘n Dale’s location in Hernando County puts your home right in the path of Florida’s most destructive pests. Subterranean termites stay active in our soil year-round, fire ants build painful colonies in sunny yard areas, and our humidity creates perfect conditions for roaches and rodents.
Your service includes comprehensive termite inspections using the latest detection methods, targeted rodent control that eliminates entry points, and quarterly prevention treatments that stop problems before they start. We also provide WDO inspections for real estate transactions because we know how important it is to protect your investment.
Every treatment is designed with your family’s safety in mind. We use state-approved methods that are effective against pests but safe around children and pets. Plus, our military families and new homeowners receive special discounts because we believe everyone deserves a pest-free home.
We provide 24/7 availability because pest emergencies don’t wait for business hours. When you discover termite swarmers, hear rodents in your walls, or find a fire ant colony near your children’s play area, you need immediate help.
Most calls receive a response within 24 hours, often much sooner. We can provide phone quotes for many common pest issues, which means you’ll know the cost before we even arrive. This eliminates the frustration of waiting days just to learn what it’ll cost to solve your problem.
Our owner-operated approach means there’s no chain of command or approval process slowing things down. When you call, you’re speaking directly with someone who can make decisions and schedule service immediately.
The biggest difference is personal accountability. When you work with corporate chains, you might get a different technician every visit who doesn’t know your property’s history or specific challenges. With us, you work directly with the owner every time.
We answer our own phones, return calls personally, and stand behind every service with our reputation. If something isn’t right, you don’t have to navigate customer service departments or wait for callbacks from regional managers. You call us directly and we make it right immediately.
Our pricing is also transparent from the start. Many large companies use high-pressure sales tactics or surprise you with add-on charges. We provide honest quotes upfront, often over the phone, so you can make informed decisions without feeling pressured.
Absolutely. Every treatment method we use is state-approved and applied by certified technicians who understand proper safety protocols. We specifically choose products that are highly effective against pests but pose minimal risk to humans and animals when applied correctly.
Before any treatment, we explain exactly what we’re using and any precautions you should take. For most services, your family and pets can return to treated areas within a few hours. We also provide detailed instructions about any areas to avoid temporarily and when everything is completely safe.
Our family-focused approach means we treat your home the same way we’d treat our own. We have children and pets too, so we understand your concerns and take every precaution to ensure their safety while effectively eliminating your pest problems.
We strongly recommend ongoing prevention because Florida’s climate creates year-round pest pressure. One-time treatments might solve immediate problems, but without consistent prevention, new pests will eventually find their way back to your property.
Our quarterly prevention program is designed specifically for Hill ‘n Dale’s pest challenges. We adjust treatments seasonally—focusing on termite activity during swarming periods, ramping up ant control during rainy seasons, and preparing for increased rodent activity during cooler months.
This proactive approach costs much less than dealing with major infestations later. Plus, our regular visits allow us to catch potential problems early, before they become expensive structural damage or health hazards for your family.
Hill ‘n Dale’s location in Hernando County creates unique pest challenges. Subterranean termites are extremely active in our soil year-round, unlike northern climates where cold weather slows them down. We also see heavy fire ant activity, especially in the sunny, open areas common throughout our community.
The humidity levels typical in our area create ideal conditions for American cockroaches (palmetto bugs), and our proximity to natural areas means rodent pressure from roof rats and house mice. Many homes also deal with ghost ants, which are attracted to the moisture around foundations and plumbing.
Our local expertise means we understand exactly when and where these pests are most active. We time treatments to intercept their breeding cycles and know which areas of your property are most vulnerable based on Hill ‘n Dale’s specific environmental conditions.
Our pricing is based on the specific pest problem, property size, and treatment complexity required. Unlike companies that use high-pressure sales tactics, we provide honest, upfront quotes—often right over the phone for common issues like ant problems or routine inspections.
For more complex situations requiring detailed inspection, we’ll visit your property and provide a written estimate before any work begins. There are never surprise charges or pressure to buy unnecessary add-ons. We explain exactly what’s included in your service and why each treatment is necessary.
We also offer special pricing for military families and new homeowners because we believe everyone deserves affordable pest protection. Our goal is to provide exceptional value through effective treatments and personal service, not to maximize profit through inflated prices or hidden fees.
