You deserve peace of mind in your own home. No more lying awake listening to rodents scurrying through your attic or walls. No more worrying about your family’s health or your property being damaged by chewed wires and contaminated surfaces.
Our rodent control Fort King Acres service eliminates current infestations and prevents future problems through professional exclusion work. We identify entry points permanently, so you won’t deal with the same problem again in six months.
When we’re done, you’ll have a rodent-free home and the confidence that comes from working with a local family business that stands behind every job.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been protecting Fort King Acres families from rodent infestations with honest, reliable service. As a family-owned business, you work directly with owner George—not a call center or rotating technicians.
We understand how Florida’s year-round warm climate creates perfect conditions for rats and mice to thrive. That’s why we focus on permanent solutions, not temporary fixes that leave you dealing with the same problem months later.
Our approach combines professional-grade exclusion work with humane removal methods. We’re state-certified, fully insured, and available seven days a week because rodent problems don’t wait for business hours.
First, we conduct a thorough inspection of your Fort King Acres property to identify how rodents are entering and where they’re nesting. This includes checking attics, crawl spaces, exterior walls, and areas around utilities where gaps commonly occur.
Next, we implement our exclusion strategy. We identify all entry points with professional-grade materials that rodents can’t chew through. This isn’t about setting a few traps—it’s about making your home rodent-proof from the ground up.
Finally, we remove any existing rodents using humane trapping methods and clean up contaminated areas. We provide phone quotes for most situations and can often schedule same-day service because we know how quickly rodent problems escalate in Florida’s climate.

Our comprehensive rodent control Fort King Acres service addresses every aspect of your rodent problem. We handle roof rats, Norway rats, mice, and other rodents common to Central Florida homes.
Fort King Acres’ warm, humid environment and abundant vegetation create ideal conditions for rodents year-round. Unlike northern climates where rodent activity decreases in winter, Florida homeowners face consistent pressure from these pests seeking food, water, and shelter.
We provide attic rat removal, wall void treatment, and complete exterior exclusion work. Our service includes identifying and identifying gaps around pipes, vents, roof lines, and foundation areas where rodents typically enter. We also address conducive conditions like overgrown vegetation and standing water that attract rodents to your property.
Rats typically enter Fort King Acres attics through small gaps around roof lines, vents, or where utility lines enter your home. Roof rats are excellent climbers and can access entry points as small as a quarter-inch.
Common entry points include damaged soffit vents, gaps where the roof meets the wall, openings around plumbing vents, and spaces where tree branches touch your roofline. Florida’s frequent storms can also create new openings by loosening roof materials or damaging screens.
We locate these entry points during our inspection and identify them with materials rats can’t chew through, like steel mesh and professional-grade identifyants designed for Florida’s climate.
The most obvious signs include scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or attics, especially at night when rodents are most active. You might also notice small, dark droppings about the size of rice grains in pantries, cabinets, or along baseboards.
Other indicators include gnaw marks on food packaging, grease stains along walls where rodents travel, and small holes in walls or screens. You might smell a musky odor in areas where rodents are nesting, or notice your pets acting strangely, staring at walls or ceiling areas.
If you’re hearing sounds or finding these signs, it’s important to act quickly. Rodents reproduce rapidly in Florida’s warm climate, and a small problem can become a major infestation within weeks.
Professional rodent control costs vary based on the size of your home, severity of the infestation, and amount of exclusion work needed. Most Fort King Acres homeowners invest between $300-$800 for comprehensive rodent control and exclusion services.
We provide honest, upfront pricing with most quotes available over the phone. Our approach focuses on permanent solutions rather than recurring treatments, which saves money long-term compared to companies that only set traps without addressing entry points.
We offer special discounts for military families and new homeowners. The investment in professional exclusion work typically pays for itself by preventing property damage from chewed wires, contaminated insulation, and structural damage that rodents can cause.
DIY methods typically only address rodents you can see, not the entry points that allow new ones to enter. Store-bought traps and baits provide temporary relief but don’t solve the underlying problem of how rodents are accessing your home.
Professional rodent control includes thorough inspection to identify all entry points, proper exclusion work using commercial-grade materials, and safe removal of contaminated materials. We also understand rodent behavior and know where to look for problems that homeowners often miss.
Florida’s year-round rodent activity means exclusion work must be done correctly the first time. Improper identifying or missed entry points allow the problem to return quickly, often worse than before.
Roof rats require a combination of exclusion work and targeted removal since they’re excellent climbers who access homes through upper-level entry points. We start by trimming tree branches away from your roofline and identifying gaps around vents, eaves, and where utilities enter your home.
Roof rats are common in Fort King Acres due to abundant fruit trees and vegetation. They often travel along fence lines and power lines to access rooftops, then find small openings to enter attics or wall voids.
Effective roof rat control requires understanding their travel patterns and food sources. We address both the immediate infestation through humane trapping and long-term prevention through comprehensive exclusion work that makes your home inaccessible to future invasions.
Rodents carry numerous diseases that can be transmitted to humans through direct contact with droppings, urine, or saliva, as well as through contaminated food and surfaces. Common rodent-borne illnesses include salmonella, hantavirus, and rat-bite fever.
In Florida’s humid climate, rodent droppings and urine can create respiratory hazards when disturbed during cleaning. Pregnant women, children, elderly family members, and immunocompromised individuals face higher risks from rodent-related health issues.
Rodents also bring secondary pests like fleas, ticks, and mites into your home. Professional rodent control includes safe cleanup of contaminated areas using proper protective equipment and sanitization procedures to eliminate health risks to your family.
