You shouldn’t have to live with ants marching across your counters or worry about scratching sounds in your walls at night. River Ridge’s warm, humid climate creates perfect conditions for year-round pest activity, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept it.
When pests invade your space, they’re not just annoying—they’re disrupting your peace of mind and potentially damaging your property. Professional pest control means you can actually relax in your own home again.
The right treatment eliminates current problems and creates a barrier that keeps new ones from starting. You get your space back, your sleep back, and the confidence that your home is protected.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been protecting River Ridge families for years as a truly family-run operation. When you call, you work directly with the owner—not a call center or rotating technicians who don’t know your property.
This approach matters in River Ridge, where ghost ants, subterranean termites, and rodents are year-round challenges. We understand local pest patterns, know which treatments work best in our humid climate, and stand behind every service call.
Over 100 five-star Google reviews reflect what happens when you combine local expertise with genuine care for your family’s comfort and safety.
Your service starts with a thorough inspection to identify current pest issues, entry points, and conditions that attract problems. This isn’t a quick walk-through—it’s a detailed assessment that uncovers what’s really happening.
Treatment targets both active pests and prevention. Interior applications eliminate existing problems while exterior barriers stop new invaders before they get inside. The focus is on long-term protection, not just quick fixes.
Follow-up ensures the treatment is working and adjusts the approach if needed. You get direct communication about what was done, what to expect, and when the next service is recommended. No surprises, no runaround.

River Ridge’s location in Hernando County means dealing with specific pest pressures that many companies don’t fully understand. Ghost ants thrive in our humid conditions and often establish colonies both inside and outside homes. Subterranean termites are active year-round, not just during “termite season.”
Your service covers the full spectrum: ant control that targets trailing and nesting behaviors, termite inspections using professional equipment, rodent exclusion that seals entry points, and mosquito reduction for outdoor spaces. Each treatment is customized for River Ridge conditions.
State certifications and proper licensing ensure treatments are both effective and safe for your family and pets. Our owner’s direct involvement means you get experienced judgment on every call, not cookie-cutter approaches that might work somewhere else but miss local nuances.
We provide 24/7 response capability, including weekends. Most quotes are provided over the phone, and same-day service is often available depending on the situation.
Emergency calls get priority because pest problems don’t wait for business hours. Whether it’s a sudden ant invasion in your kitchen or signs of termite activity, we respond directly to assess the situation and provide immediate solutions.
This rapid response approach has earned trust throughout River Ridge because residents know they can get help when they actually need it, not when it’s convenient for the company.
River Ridge’s warm, humid climate creates ideal conditions for ghost ants (also called sugar ants), subterranean termites, rodents, and mosquitoes. Ghost ants are particularly problematic because they’re tiny, difficult to spot, and often establish multiple colonies both inside and outside homes.
Termites remain active year-round in our area, including both native species and invasive Formosan termites that can cause significant structural damage. Rodents find plenty of entry points through AC chases, plumbing vents, and damaged seals around homes.
Understanding these local pest patterns is crucial for effective treatment. Generic approaches that work in other climates often fail here because they don’t account for River Ridge’s specific environmental conditions and pest behaviors.
All our treatments use products registered with the EPA and applied according to strict safety protocols. Our owner’s direct involvement ensures proper application techniques that protect your family while eliminating pest problems.
Treatment methods are selected based on your specific situation and safety concerns. Interior applications focus on targeted placement in areas where pests travel but children and pets don’t. Exterior treatments create protective barriers without compromising safety.
You receive clear instructions about any precautions to take during and after treatment. The goal is complete pest elimination with zero compromise on family safety—something that’s only possible with experienced, careful application.
Professional termite inspections in River Ridge typically range from free to moderately priced, depending on the scope and purpose. We offer complimentary inspections when you’re considering treatment services.
Real estate transactions may require specific WDO (Wood Destroying Organism) reports, which involve more detailed documentation and typically cost between $100-200. These inspections are more comprehensive and include official reporting required by lenders.
The key is working with someone who understands River Ridge’s specific termite risks, including both subterranean and drywood species. A thorough inspection using proper equipment can detect problems before they become expensive structural damage.
Yes, we highly recommend quarterly prevention plans for River Ridge homes because pests remain active year-round in our climate. These plans provide consistent exterior barrier treatments that stop problems before they start, rather than just reacting to infestations.
Quarterly service typically includes exterior perimeter treatment, interior spot applications as needed, and ongoing monitoring for new pest activity. We personally handle service calls and adjust treatments based on seasonal pest patterns and your property’s specific needs.
Many River Ridge residents find quarterly plans more cost-effective than emergency treatments because prevention costs less than elimination. You also get priority response if issues arise between scheduled visits, ensuring your home stays protected year-round.
The biggest difference is direct owner involvement in every aspect of your service. When you call, you work with the owner—not a call center, sales team, or rotating technicians. This means consistent service, personal accountability, and someone who actually knows your property and pest history.
Family values drive our business approach, with honest communication about what you need versus what you don’t. Most quotes are provided over the phone, and we respond personally within 24 hours, even on weekends. This level of accessibility is rare in the pest control industry.
Over 100 five-star Google reviews reflect what happens when local expertise combines with genuine care for customer satisfaction. You’re not just another service call—you’re a neighbor whose comfort and peace of mind matter.
