Most pest problems in Jasmine Estates don’t start with a dramatic infestation. They start with a gap in an aging soffit, a split door seal that’s been contracting through Florida heat cycles for thirty years, or a plumbing penetration that was never sealed to modern standards. By the time you see the cockroach or hear the scratching in the attic, something has already been living there for a while.
When pest control is done right, you stop reacting and start preventing. That means no more finding rodent droppings in the garage, no more palmetto bugs surprising you in the kitchen, and no more wondering whether that mud tube near the foundation is something to worry about. You just know it’s handled.
Ninety-five percent of homes in Jasmine Estates were built between 1970 and 1999. That era of construction has specific, predictable vulnerabilities — and a pest control approach that ignores that fact is guessing. The coastal humidity that rolls in from the Gulf amplifies every one of those vulnerabilities year-round. What you get with the right quarterly prevention plan isn’t just fewer bugs. It’s a home that isn’t quietly being eaten or invaded while you go about your life.
Around The Clock Pest Service is a family-owned business based in Spring Hill, FL — directly up US 19 from Jasmine Estates. George Lundin founded the company in 2020 with a straightforward model: when you call, you reach him. Not a dispatcher. Not a scheduling system. Him. He gives most quotes over the phone, shows up personally, and backs every job with his name and reputation.
That matters in Jasmine Estates, where residents along Ridge Road and throughout Pasco County have dealt with pest companies that are hard to reach, slow to respond, and quick to upsell. George’s approach is the opposite — honest assessment, straight answers, and a 24-hour response commitment that holds on weekends too, at no extra charge.
Over 100 five-star Google reviews, an A+ BBB rating, and multiple active FDACS licenses aren’t background details here. They’re the track record of someone who has been doing this the right way since day one.
It starts with a phone call — and unlike most pest control companies, that call goes directly to George. He’ll ask about what you’re seeing, where you’re seeing it, and how long it’s been going on. In most cases, he can give you a quote right there on the phone. No one has to come out just to tell you what it’ll cost.
Once service is scheduled, we assess the specific conditions of your home. In Jasmine Estates, that typically means checking the entry points that older construction creates — attic vents, soffit gaps, aging door seals, and utility penetrations that have widened over decades. The treatment plan is built around what’s actually happening at your property, not a generic checklist.
After the initial service, most Jasmine Estates homeowners move into a quarterly pest prevention plan. Four visits a year keeps the cycle broken — targeting the termite swarm season in spring, the ant and cockroach pressure of summer, and the rodent activity that picks up every fall as temperatures drop. If something comes up between scheduled visits, you call George directly and he responds. That’s the whole model — straightforward, accountable, and built around your home.

We handle the full range of what Pasco County homeowners deal with: general pest control for ants, cockroaches, and spiders; rodent control using safe trapping methods that eliminate the risk of poisoned animals dying inside your walls; termite inspections; and WDO inspections for real estate transactions — which are frequently required by Florida mortgage lenders and come up constantly in Jasmine Estates given the number of active home listings.
The quarterly pest prevention plan is the most practical option for most Jasmine Estates residents. At roughly $250 a year, it costs less than a single emergency rodent remediation — and it keeps your home from reaching that point. For snowbird homeowners who spend months away each year, maintaining a quarterly plan while you’re gone is the only reliable way to make sure you’re not walking back into an established infestation.
Pet-safe pest solutions and eco-friendly insect control aren’t add-ons here — they’re how we work. Safe trapping for rodents, EPA-approved products applied by a licensed technician, and treatments that are targeted rather than saturating your home with chemicals. If you’re a military family or a new homeowner in Jasmine Estates, ask about the discounts available to you — those are real, documented savings that apply at booking.
For most homes in Jasmine Estates, quarterly service is the right answer — and the local environment is the reason why. You’re in coastal Pasco County, minutes from the Gulf, with ambient humidity that stays elevated even through Florida’s drier months. That moisture works into the aging building envelopes that make up nearly all of the housing stock here, creating the exact conditions that subterranean termites, roof rats, and cockroaches need to establish themselves.
A one-time treatment addresses what’s visible right now. It does nothing for what’s coming next season. The pest pressure in Jasmine Estates follows a predictable cycle — termite swarms in spring, heavy ant and cockroach activity through summer, rodents moving indoors every fall. Quarterly prevention breaks that cycle before it becomes a problem you’re reacting to. For most Jasmine Estates homeowners, four visits a year is the most cost-effective approach when you factor in what a single emergency remediation actually costs.
The most frequent calls we handle in Jasmine Estates involve roof rats, palmetto bugs, ghost ants, and subterranean termites. Roof rats are particularly common in this area because the older housing stock — most of it built between 1970 and 1999 — has had decades for attic vents to deteriorate and soffit gaps to widen. Rats don’t need much space to get in, and once they’re in the attic, they’re rarely quiet about it.
Palmetto bugs and German cockroaches move indoors when Florida’s summer heat peaks, and ghost ants are a persistent nuisance in kitchens and bathrooms year-round. Subterranean termites are the longer-term concern — they swarm in spring following rain events, which is a regular pattern along this stretch of the Gulf Coast. Fire ants are also common in lawns and landscaped areas, especially after the rainy season loosens the soil. Knowing which pest you’re dealing with matters because the treatment approach is different for each one.
Yes — but the answer depends on how the treatment is done, not just what products are used. We use EPA-approved, state-certified treatments applied by a licensed FDACS technician. For rodent control specifically, we use safe trapping methods instead of poison bait stations, which eliminates two real risks: a poisoned rodent dying inside your wall cavity and creating an odor problem, and a pet finding and consuming a poisoned rodent.
For general pest treatments, the products we use are targeted and properly dosed — not broadcast-sprayed throughout the home. After an interior treatment, you’ll be advised on any brief re-entry window based on what was applied. Most treatments have minimal to no required wait time for pets and children. If you have specific concerns about a product or application method, George will walk you through exactly what’s being used and why before anything is applied. That conversation happens upfront, not after the fact.
Not always legally required, but practically speaking — yes, you almost certainly need one. Florida mortgage lenders frequently require a WDO (Wood-Destroying Organism) report before closing, and in a market like Jasmine Estates where the majority of homes are 25 to 55 years old, termite activity is a genuine and common finding, not a remote possibility.
A WDO inspection documents the presence or absence of wood-destroying organisms — subterranean termites, drywood termites, wood-boring beetles, and wood-decaying fungi. The report is completed by a state-licensed inspector and is typically required by VA and FHA loan programs. Even in conventional transactions where it isn’t lender-mandated, skipping a WDO inspection on a 40-year-old home in coastal Pasco County is a significant risk for a buyer. If you’re in the middle of a transaction and need an inspection turned around quickly, George can discuss availability and timing directly when you call.
This is one of the most common situations in Jasmine Estates, and it’s one of the riskiest from a pest standpoint. When a home sits unoccupied for four to six months — which is typical for snowbirds who spend winters here and summers elsewhere, or the reverse — there’s no one inside to notice early warning signs. A rodent that gets into the attic in October can do significant damage by March. A termite swarm in April can go undetected until the next visit.
The most reliable protection is maintaining a quarterly pest prevention plan even while you’re away. The visits happen on schedule regardless of whether you’re home, and if something is found, you get a call. Our direct owner-communication model is particularly practical for out-of-state homeowners — you’re not trying to reach a call center or leave a message with a dispatcher. You call George directly, from wherever you are, and get a real answer. That kind of accountability is hard to find with a national chain managing hundreds of accounts.
Yes — and it’s worth mentioning upfront when you call. We offer documented discounts for military families and new homeowners, and with roughly 8% of Jasmine Estates residents having veteran status, this comes up regularly in this community.
The discount applies at booking and doesn’t require any complicated verification process — a straightforward conversation when you call is all it takes. The same applies to new homeowners, which is relevant in Jasmine Estates given how many buyers are relocating here from higher-cost markets like Pinellas County and the Tampa metro. Many of them are encountering Florida’s pest environment for the first time and aren’t sure what to expect. The discount is one less barrier to getting started, and the phone consultation with George gives new homeowners a clear picture of what their specific home actually needs — without anyone trying to sell them a service package that doesn’t fit their situation.
