You moved to Wesley Chapel for a reason. The schools, the community, the home you worked hard to buy. The last thing you want is fire ants pulling sand through your brick paver driveway in Meadow Pointe, or something scratching around in your attic at 2 AM while your kids are asleep down the hall. Pest problems in Wesley Chapel are not a seasonal inconvenience — they are a year-round reality that gets worse the longer it goes unaddressed.
Wesley Chapel’s warm, wet climate keeps termites, ants, mosquitoes, and rodents active every single month of the year. The retention ponds throughout communities like Epperson Ranch and Seven Oaks create ideal mosquito breeding conditions. The continuous new construction across Wiregrass Ranch and Avalon Park displaces existing pest colonies, pushing them directly toward the homes already standing. If you just moved into a new build, that pressure is real and it starts immediately.
When you have the right pest control in place, your lanai is yours again. Your lawn stops being a fire ant minefield. You stop wondering whether that soft spot near the baseboard is something serious. A properly maintained home in Wesley Chapel — protected quarterly — holds its value, stays structurally sound, and gives you one less thing to worry about in a community that already demands a lot of your time.
Around The Clock Pest Service is a family-owned business run by George and Mary Lundin out of Spring Hill, FL — right next door to Wesley Chapel and Pasco County, and well within the territory we have been serving for years. George holds multiple active licenses through the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, carries a BBB A+ rating, and has earned over 100 five-star Google reviews from real customers across Hernando and Pasco County who name him by name.
What makes this different is simple: when you call, George answers. Not a dispatcher. Not a scheduling system. The owner, who knows the pest pressures specific to Wesley Chapel and surrounding Pasco County communities, knows what new construction displacement looks like in Wiregrass Ranch, and gives you a straight answer — often including a quote — right there on the phone.
We offer special discounts for new homeowners and military families, both of which are well-represented in Wesley Chapel’s growing community.
It starts with a phone call — and unlike most pest control companies, that call goes directly to George. He will ask you the right questions, talk through what you are dealing with, and in most cases give you a price right then. No waiting for a sales rep to come out just to hand you a quote. No pressure. Just a real conversation that gets you the information you need to make a decision.
Once you schedule, George comes to your Wesley Chapel property and does a thorough inspection — exterior perimeter, entry points, moisture areas, any active signs of infestation. That means paying close attention to the areas that matter most in this area: driveway edges and mulch beds where fire ants build colonies, rooflines and pipe penetrations where rodents get in, and any standing water near your property line that feeds mosquito populations. The treatment plan is built around what your specific home actually needs, not a generic checklist.
From there, most Wesley Chapel homeowners move into a quarterly prevention plan — four visits per year that maintain a protective barrier around the home and catch new activity before it becomes a problem. Between visits, you have direct access to George. If something comes up, you call, and he responds. That is the whole model, and it works.

We handle the full range of pest issues common to Wesley Chapel homes and businesses — termites, rodents, cockroaches, fire ants, mosquitoes, spiders, bed bugs, and more. Every service is delivered by George directly, using treatments that are effective without being reckless around children and pets. Safe trapping methods are used for rodent control specifically, which means no poison bait dying inside your walls and no secondary poisoning risk to the animals in your home.
For Wesley Chapel homeowners, the quarterly prevention plan is the most practical and cost-effective option. Florida’s climate does not give pests an off-season, and a home that goes untreated between spring and fall is a home that is catching up rather than staying ahead. The plan runs roughly $250 per year — less than a single emergency treatment and far less than what termite remediation costs once damage is already done. Termite inspections and WDO inspections for real estate closings are also available, which matters in a market where Wesley Chapel home sales move fast and lenders increasingly require documentation before closing.
We also offer commercial pest control for the restaurants, retail spaces, and healthcare-adjacent businesses along the SR 54 and SR 56 corridor — the same owner-direct accountability, the same state certifications, applied to environments where a pest sighting is not just an inconvenience but a liability.
In most parts of the country, pest control is a seasonal concern. In Wesley Chapel, it is not. Pasco County’s subtropical climate means termites are active underground year-round, mosquitoes breed continuously near the retention ponds that run through nearly every master-planned community here, and rodents do not wait for a cold snap to start looking for a way into your attic. The mild winters that make Wesley Chapel such a desirable place to live are the same reason pest populations never fully die off between seasons.
For most homes in Wesley Chapel, quarterly service is the right cadence. That means four visits per year — spaced to maintain an active barrier around your home and address any new activity before it turns into an infestation. If you are in a newer build in Wiregrass Ranch or Avalon Park, where land clearing has recently displaced existing pest colonies, starting with a quarterly plan from day one is the smartest move you can make.
The ones that show up most consistently in Wesley Chapel are subterranean termites, fire ants, roof rats, cockroaches, and mosquitoes. Termites are the most financially serious — they work silently inside walls and framing, and by the time most homeowners see visible damage, the colony has been active for a long time. Fire ants are a constant nuisance in the landscaped driveways and mulch beds that define communities like Meadow Pointe and Seven Oaks, where they pull sand through brick pavers and build colonies under the surface.
Roof rats are a year-round concern in Wesley Chapel’s newer construction, where gaps around plumbing penetrations and rooflines have not always been fully sealed. Mosquitoes surge during the summer rainy season, especially near the standing water features that are standard throughout Wesley Chapel’s master-planned communities — including the areas surrounding the Epperson crystal lagoon. Bed bugs, spiders, and stored product pests round out the list of what comes up most often in local homes.
It depends entirely on how it is done. The concern most Wesley Chapel parents raise is legitimate — they want effective treatment without putting their children or animals at risk. We use targeted application methods that focus on entry points, exterior perimeters, and active infestation zones rather than broad interior chemical coverage. For rodent control specifically, we use safe trapping instead of rodenticide bait, which eliminates the risk of a poisoned animal dying inside your walls or your pet encountering a poisoned rodent.
After an interior treatment, the standard guidance is to stay out of treated areas until products have dried — typically one to two hours depending on what was applied. George will walk you through exactly what was used and what the reentry timeline looks like before he leaves. If you have specific sensitivities or concerns about a particular product, that conversation happens before the treatment, not after. The goal is a home that is protected without creating a new problem in the process.
New construction does not mean termite-free. In fact, Wesley Chapel’s continuous development cycle creates a specific risk that many new homeowners do not anticipate: when land is cleared for a new community, existing subterranean termite colonies are displaced and driven toward adjacent structures — including the newly built homes going up nearby. The soil around a brand-new foundation can already have termite pressure before the first family moves in.
Florida lenders and buyers’ agents increasingly require a Wood-Destroying Organism inspection — commonly called a WDO inspection — before closing, and for good reason. A WDO inspection documents the current condition of the structure with respect to termites and other wood-destroying pests. We are licensed to conduct these inspections and can typically turn them around quickly to fit closing timelines. If you are buying, selling, or representing a transaction anywhere in Pasco County, one call gets the process started.
A quarterly prevention plan with us runs approximately $250 per year for most residential properties in Wesley Chapel. That breaks down to four service visits annually, each maintaining the exterior barrier around your home and addressing any new activity that has developed since the last visit. Initial treatments for an active infestation typically run between $246 and $359 depending on the pest and the scope of the problem.
To put that in perspective: a single emergency rodent or termite treatment costs more than a full year of quarterly prevention. Structural termite remediation — once damage has already occurred — can run into the thousands. For a home worth $400,000 or more in a community like Estancia at Wiregrass or The Ridge at Wiregrass Ranch, $250 per year is not a significant expense. It is a straightforward way to protect a significant investment. Quotes are given over the phone in most cases, so you know what you are looking at before anyone comes to your door.
Yes — we offer discounts for new homeowners and military families, and both apply directly to what is happening in Wesley Chapel right now. The new homeowner discount is relevant here because Wesley Chapel is one of the fastest-growing communities in the entire Tampa Bay region. At any given time, hundreds of newly built homes are being occupied by families who have never dealt with Florida’s pest environment before. Getting a prevention plan in place from the start — before an infestation takes hold — is significantly easier and less expensive than treating an established problem. The discount makes that first step a little more accessible.
The military discount reflects the fact that Wesley Chapel is within commuting distance of MacDill Air Force Base via I-75, and the area attracts a meaningful number of active-duty and veteran families. These are households that value reliability and straightforward service, and our model — direct owner communication, transparent pricing, no-surprise billing — tends to be a natural fit. Both discounts are applied at the time of service. Just mention it when you call.
