Our rodent control in Meadow Oaks, FL goes beyond just catching what’s already inside. We identify every entry point, clean up the damage, and make sure new rodents can’t find their way back in.
Your family deserves a home that’s truly protected – not just temporarily cleared out. That’s exactly what you get when we’re done.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been protecting homes throughout Hernando County and surrounding Florida areas as a family-run operation. When you call, you work directly with the owner – not a call center or rotating technicians.
We answer our phones 24/7, even on weekends, because rodent problems don’t wait for business hours. Most quotes are handled over the phone, and we respond within 24 hours guaranteed.
Over 100 five-star Google reviews from Meadow Oaks neighbors prove what matters: honest communication, reliable results, and service that actually solves the problem long-term.
First, we inspect every inch of your property to locate active rodent areas and identify how they’re getting inside. Florida homes have dozens of potential entry points – from roof vents to foundation cracks – and we find them all.
Next comes removal using humane trapping methods that work fast without putting your family or pets at risk. We don’t rely on poison that can harm other animals or create bigger problems.
Finally, we identify every entry point with professional-grade materials and clean up contaminated areas. This rodent exclusion and identifying process is what keeps new rodents from moving in after we’re gone.

Our rodent control service covers the complete job: inspection, trapping, exclusion, cleanup, and damage repair. We handle roof rats, house mice, squirrels, and other common Florida rodents that invade Meadow Oaks homes.
Florida’s year-round warm climate means rodents stay active all season long, unlike northern states where cold weather provides natural breaks. That’s why our approach focuses heavily on exclusion – identifying entry points so effectively that future infestations become nearly impossible.
You’ll also receive ongoing support and advice. We want you to know how to spot early warning signs and maintain the protection we’ve built around your home.
Roof rats are excellent climbers that use tree branches, power lines, and even gutters to reach your roof level. Once there, they squeeze through surprisingly small gaps – anything larger than a quarter-inch gives them access.
Common entry points include damaged roof vents, gaps around plumbing penetrations, loose fascia boards, and spaces where different roofing materials meet. Florida’s frequent storms and settling can create new gaps over time.
The key is comprehensive inspection and identifying. We locate every potential entry point and identify them with materials that rodents can’t chew through, not temporary fixes that fail within months.
Scratching or scampering sounds in walls or ceilings, especially at night when rodents are most active. You might also notice small, dark droppings near food sources, in cabinets, or along baseboards.
Gnaw marks on food packaging, furniture, or electrical wires are serious warning signs. Rodents’ teeth never stop growing, so they constantly chew to keep them trimmed. This behavior can create fire hazards when they damage electrical wiring.
Strange odors, particularly musty or ammonia-like smells, often indicate urine contamination or even deceased rodents in wall voids. If you notice any of these signs, professional inspection reveals the full extent of the problem.
Professional rodent proofing cost depends on your home’s size, the extent of entry points, and whether active infestations need removal first. Most Meadow Oaks homes require $800-2,500 for comprehensive exclusion work.
This investment covers inspection, identifying all entry points with professional materials, setting up monitoring stations, and cleanup of contaminated areas. Compare that to ongoing damage from chewed wires, insulation replacement, and health risks from continued infestation.
We provide most quotes over the phone after discussing your specific situation. This upfront approach helps you make informed decisions without surprise costs or high-pressure sales tactics.
Yes, we specialize in humane squirrel control for homes throughout Meadow Oaks. Squirrels often enter attics through damaged roof areas and can cause significant insulation damage with their nesting behavior.
Our approach uses one-way exclusion devices that allow squirrels to leave but prevent re-entry. This method avoids trapping animals inside wall voids, which creates bigger problems. We also repair entry points and install preventive barriers.
Florida law requires humane treatment of wildlife, and our methods comply with all regulations while effectively solving your squirrel problem. The process typically takes 7-14 days for complete removal.
Absolutely. Our humane rodent trapping approach uses methods that minimize animal suffering while effectively removing rodents from your property. We avoid glue traps and focus on quick-kill or live-capture methods depending on the situation.
For mice and rats, we typically use snap traps or electronic traps that work instantly. Live traps are used when relocation is appropriate, though this isn’t always practical for disease-carrying rodents that may return or spread problems to neighboring properties.
The most humane long-term solution is prevention through exclusion. By identifying entry points effectively, we eliminate the need for ongoing trapping while protecting your home and the local wildlife population.
We handle complete rodent damage repair including insulation replacement, wire repair, and contaminated area cleanup. Rodent urine and droppings create health hazards that require proper decontamination, not just surface cleaning.
Attic restoration often involves removing damaged insulation, disinfecting surfaces, and installing new insulation to restore energy efficiency. We also repair entry points with materials that match your home’s appearance while providing long-term protection.
Our repair work comes with warranties because we use quality materials and proven techniques. This comprehensive approach addresses both visible damage and hidden contamination that DIY cleanup typically misses.
