We’ve been protecting North Brooksville families for over 14 years at Around The Clock Pest Service. As a local, family-owned business, you work directly with the owner—not some call center.
We understand the unique pest challenges in Hernando County. From roof rats climbing through palm trees to mice finding their way through Florida’s older homes, we’ve seen it all.
Our state-certified technicians respond 24/7, even on weekends. Over 100 five-star Google reviews from your neighbors prove we deliver what we promise.
First, we conduct a thorough inspection of your property—attic, crawl spaces, and all potential entry points. We identify the rodent species, locate nests, and map their travel routes.
Next, we implement targeted removal using humane, pet-safe traps and professional-grade exclusion methods. We identify gaps with steel mesh and exterior-grade identifyant, focusing on areas where roof rats commonly enter.
Finally, we provide ongoing monitoring and follow-up visits. If rodents return during our warranty period, we come back at no additional charge. You’re protected long-term, not just temporarily.

Your rodent control service includes comprehensive inspection, targeted removal, and permanent exclusion work. We identify entry points around vents, soffits, and rooflines where roof rats typically access North Brooksville homes.
In our area, roof rats are particularly problematic due to the abundance of palm trees and older homes with multiple access points. We address the specific challenges of Hernando County properties.
You also receive sanitization services to clean contaminated areas, plus recommendations for ongoing prevention. Our pet-friendly solutions ensure your family’s safety throughout the entire process.
The most common signs include scratching or scurrying noises in your attic at night, since roof rats are nocturnal. You might also find spindle-shaped droppings about half an inch long near baseboards or in storage areas.
Look for gnaw marks on food packaging, electrical wires, or wooden surfaces. Greasy rub marks along walls or rafters indicate frequent rat activity. If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to act quickly since roof rats multiply rapidly and can cause significant damage to your home’s wiring and insulation.
Roof rats are drawn to North Brooksville homes by easily accessible food sources like pet food, birdseed, fruit trees, and unsecured garbage. Our area’s palm trees and dense vegetation provide perfect nesting spots and highways for these agile climbers.
They enter through gaps as small as a quarter-inch around vents, soffits, damaged roof areas, or where utility lines enter your home. Once inside, they seek warm, quiet spaces like attics and wall voids to build nests and raise their young.
Florida’s year-round warm climate allows roof rats to breed continuously, making prevention and early intervention crucial for North Brooksville homeowners.
Rodent control costs typically range from $250 to $600, depending on the severity of your infestation, the size of your home, and the number of entry points that need identifying. Minor issues with just a few mice require less extensive treatment than major roof rat infestations in attics.
We provide free inspections and customized quotes based on your specific situation. Factors affecting cost include the type of rodents, accessibility of nesting areas, and the extent of exclusion work needed to prevent future problems.
Remember that professional rodent control is an investment in protecting your home from costly damage and health risks. The expense of repairs from chewed wiring or structural damage far exceeds the cost of proper treatment.
Yes, roof rats pose serious health risks to both humans and pets. They carry diseases including salmonella, leptospirosis, and rat-bite fever, which can be transmitted through contact with their droppings, urine, or saliva.
Roof rats also create fire hazards by chewing through electrical wiring, potentially causing short circuits or house fires. Their constant gnawing can damage insulation, wood, and other structural materials in your home.
Additionally, they contaminate food surfaces and stored items, creating ongoing health concerns. Professional removal is essential to eliminate these risks and protect your North Brooksville family.
Most rodent problems can be controlled within 2-4 weeks, depending on the size of the infestation and the species involved. Roof rats may take slightly longer to eliminate completely since they’re excellent climbers and can access multiple entry points.
The key to success is combining immediate removal with comprehensive exclusion work. While trapping addresses the current population, identifying entry points prevents new rodents from moving in. We continue monitoring until we’re certain the problem is resolved.
Our warranty ensures that if rodents return during the coverage period, we’ll come back at no additional charge. This gives you confidence that the problem is truly solved, not just temporarily managed.
While DIY methods like snap traps might catch a few rodents, they rarely address the root cause of infestations. Professional rodent control is essential for complete elimination, especially with roof rats that are skilled climbers and can access areas homeowners can’t reach safely.
We have specialized equipment, professional-grade exclusion materials, and the expertise to identify all entry points and nesting areas. Our state-certified technicians know exactly where to look and how to identify access points permanently.
Most importantly, we handle contaminated materials safely and provide warranties on our work. DIY approaches often lead to recurring problems because the underlying issues aren’t properly addressed.
