Around The Clock Pest Service brings Berkeley families the personal attention you can only get from a true family business. Every client works directly with the owner—no call centers, no confusion, no delays.
We’ve built our reputation in Hernando County by answering every call personally and responding within 24 hours, even weekends. Our state certifications and deep local knowledge mean we understand exactly how Florida’s roof rats behave in Berkeley’s unique environment, from the citrus groves to the residential neighborhoods.
Berkeley residents choose us because we deliver big-company expertise with small-town accountability. Plus, we honor our military families and new homeowners with special pricing that reflects our commitment to this community.
Step one is a complete inspection of your Berkeley property. We identify every crack, gap, and entry point that’s letting rodents inside. You’ll see photos of exactly what we find and understand why you’re having problems.
Step two eliminates every existing rodent through strategic trapping and humane rodent trapping methods that are safe around your family and pets. We monitor daily and adjust our approach until your home is completely clear.
Step three is professional rodent proofing—identifying every entry point with materials that Florida’s humidity and weather can’t compromise. We use steel mesh, heavy-gauge screening, and specialized identifyants on doors, windows, roof vents, and foundation gaps. This exclusion work is what separates permanent solutions from temporary fixes.

Your service includes comprehensive attic rat removal, damage repair, and complete exclusion work—not just setting a few traps and hoping for the best. We understand Berkeley’s specific rodent challenges and address them systematically.
Florida’s roof rats love Berkeley’s fruit trees and warm attics. They can produce up to 8 litters yearly, turning small problems into major infestations fast. We target these high-access entry points with materials designed for our humid climate and unpredictable weather patterns.
Beyond elimination, we provide complete attic cleanup, removing contaminated insulation and sanitizing affected areas. Our professional rodent proofing cost includes structural repairs where gnawing has caused damage, plus ongoing monitoring to ensure your Berkeley investment stays protected long-term.
Fresh rodent droppings are usually the first sign Berkeley homeowners notice—small, dark pellets in kitchen cabinets, pantries, or along baseboards. Fresh droppings look black and shiny, while older ones turn gray and crumble when touched.
Listen for scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings, especially during evening hours when rodents are most active. Check for chew marks on food packages, furniture, or electrical wires, and look for greasy rub marks along walls where rats regularly travel.
A strong, musky odor in certain areas often indicates a larger infestation that needs immediate attention. Don’t wait if you notice these signs—Florida’s warm climate allows rodents to multiply rapidly, and early intervention prevents extensive damage and serious health risks.
Roof rats are Berkeley’s most problematic rodents. These agile climbers target attics, ceiling spaces, and the fruit trees common throughout our area. They’re excellent at finding tiny gaps in roof vents and soffit areas to gain entry.
House mice create different challenges—they squeeze through openings as small as a dime and reproduce incredibly quickly once they’re inside your Berkeley home. A single pair can produce dozens of offspring within months.
Norway rats are less common but still present, typically burrowing around foundations and crawl spaces. All three species carry dangerous diseases like Hantavirus and Salmonella while causing significant property damage through their constant gnawing and nesting behaviors.
Most Berkeley residential projects take 1-2 days for complete exclusion work, depending on your home’s size and the infestation’s extent. Our thorough initial inspection typically requires 2-3 hours to identify every problem area and entry point.
Active elimination through strategic trapping usually takes 3-14 days, depending on the rodent population size. We monitor traps daily and adjust placement based on activity patterns until we achieve total elimination—no shortcuts, no guesswork.
The critical exclusion phase—identifying entry points with rodent-resistant materials—takes 4-8 hours for typical Berkeley homes. We never rush this step because proper identifying determines whether you get temporary relief or permanent protection from future infestations.
Absolutely. We prioritize family and pet safety in every Berkeley job by emphasizing mechanical trapping, physical exclusion barriers, and structural modifications over chemical treatments whenever possible.
When rodenticides are necessary, we use tamper-resistant bait stations that keep materials completely away from children and pets. Our state-certified technicians follow strict safety protocols and provide detailed instructions for maintaining a safe environment during treatment.
We also recommend natural deterrents and proper sanitation practices that help prevent future problems without introducing unnecessary chemicals into your Berkeley home. You’ll understand every step of our process because we believe informed homeowners make the best partners in long-term rodent prevention.
Professional rodent proofing cost in Berkeley typically ranges from $250-$600 for comprehensive programs including inspection, elimination, exclusion, and follow-up monitoring. Your exact investment depends on home size, infestation severity, and the amount of exclusion work required.
Initial treatment requires a higher upfront investment, but maintenance visits usually cost $75-$150 each. Most Berkeley families find this investment pays for itself by preventing thousands in structural damage and avoiding health risks from untreated infestations.
We provide transparent, upfront pricing with no surprise charges, plus special discounts for military families and new Berkeley homeowners. The cost of professional service is minimal compared to repairing chewed wires, replacing contaminated insulation, or dealing with rodent-borne illness.
Yes, we guarantee both elimination and exclusion work for Berkeley clients. If rodents return to treated and identifyed areas, we’ll address the problem at no additional charge—that’s our commitment to delivering lasting results.
Our guarantee covers the effectiveness of our humane rodent trapping, the durability of our exclusion materials, and the thoroughness of our identifying work. We use only professional-grade, weather-resistant materials proven to withstand Florida’s challenging climate conditions.
As a family-owned Berkeley business, our reputation depends on results that last. You’ll work directly with the owner throughout the process, ensuring clear communication and accountability. Most importantly, you’ll have direct access for any questions or concerns about your ongoing rodent protection.
