You’re not just buying a house—you’re investing in your family’s future. But termites work silently, eating away at your home’s structure 24 hours a day, often for years before you notice anything wrong.
A professional termite inspection gives you the real story. We find the hidden damage before it becomes a crisis, document everything for your lender, and help you make informed decisions about one of the biggest purchases of your life.
When you know exactly what you’re dealing with, you can negotiate from a position of strength, avoid costly surprises after closing, and protect the investment that matters most to your family.
Around The Clock Pest Service brings decades of family values to every inspection we perform in Lake Lindsey and throughout Hernando County. You’ll work directly with the owner—not a call center or rotating technicians—which means faster responses, honest communication, and service you can count on.
We’re state-certified by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to perform WDO inspections, and our commitment shows in over 100 five-star Google reviews. Whether you need an inspection for a VA loan, annual checkup, or real estate transaction, we answer every call personally and respond within 24 hours, even on weekends.
Lake Lindsey’s humid climate creates perfect conditions for termites, but that also means we understand exactly what to look for in local homes and how to protect your investment year-round.
Our termite inspection process is designed to give you complete confidence in 30 to 60 minutes. We start by examining all accessible areas of your home—foundation, crawl spaces, attic, and anywhere wood-destroying organisms typically hide.
We’re looking for active infestations, past damage, mud tubes, moisture problems, and conditions that attract termites. Using state-approved methods and equipment, we check areas most homeowners never see but where the real problems develop.
You’ll receive a comprehensive WDO report that meets all Florida requirements for real estate transactions, VA loans, and insurance purposes. The report documents our findings, explains any issues we discover, and gives you a clear path forward. Most importantly, it’s valid for 90 days and accepted by all major lenders and title companies.

Your WDO inspection covers far more than just termites. We examine your property for all wood-destroying organisms including subterranean termites, drywood termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, and fungal decay that can compromise your home’s structure.
In Lake Lindsey, we pay special attention to Florida’s unique challenges—the sandy soil that subterranean termites love, the humidity that accelerates wood decay, and the seasonal swarming patterns that bring new infestations. We know where these pests hide and what conditions attract them to homes in our area.
Your inspection includes documentation of any active infestations, evidence of past treatments, structural damage assessment, and identification of conditions that could lead to future problems. We also provide recommendations for addressing any issues we find, helping you understand both immediate concerns and long-term prevention strategies.
WDO inspections in Lake Lindsey typically range from $150 to $300, depending on your home’s size and complexity. The investment is minimal compared to the thousands you could spend on termite damage repairs if problems go undetected.
We provide most quotes over the phone, so you’ll know the exact cost upfront with no surprises. We also offer discounts for military families and new homeowners, and many real estate transactions include provisions for the seller to cover inspection costs as part of the negotiation process.
Yes, VA loans require WDO inspections for all properties in Florida because the state is classified as having moderate to heavy termite infestation probability. This isn’t just bureaucratic paperwork—it’s protection for your investment and your family’s financial future.
The inspection must be completed by a state-certified inspector like us at Around The Clock Pest Service, and the report must be submitted before your loan can close. We understand VA requirements inside and out, so we’ll make sure your documentation meets all federal standards and keeps your closing on schedule.
We examine every accessible area of your home for signs of wood-destroying organisms, including active termite colonies, mud tubes, damaged wood, swarmer wings, and moisture conditions that attract pests. We also check for evidence of past treatments and assess the overall structural integrity of wooden components.
Our inspection covers the foundation, crawl spaces, attic, basement, and all visible wooden structures including decks, fences, and attached buildings. We use specialized equipment to detect movement inside walls and identify areas where moisture has created conditions conducive to infestations.
You’ll receive a detailed report documenting everything we find, with clear explanations of any issues and recommendations for treatment if needed.
WDO inspection reports are valid for 90 days from the inspection date, which gives you plenty of time to complete most real estate transactions. However, some lenders may require more recent inspections depending on their specific policies and the complexity of your loan.
If your closing gets delayed beyond the 90-day window, you’ll need a new inspection to satisfy lender requirements. That’s why we recommend scheduling your inspection strategically—close enough to closing to ensure validity, but early enough to address any issues we might discover without delaying your transaction.
Absolutely. Regular termite inspections are your best defense against the billions of dollars in damage these pests cause annually. Termites work silently for months or years before visible damage appears, so early detection is critical to preventing major structural problems.
We recommend annual inspections for Lake Lindsey homeowners because Florida’s climate creates year-round termite activity. Catching an infestation early can save you thousands in repair costs and preserve your home’s value. Even if you’re not buying or selling, an annual checkup gives you peace of mind and helps you address small problems before they become major headaches.
If we discover active termites or damage during your inspection, we’ll document everything in your WDO report and discuss treatment options with you immediately. For real estate transactions, any active infestations must be treated before closing, and repairs may be required depending on the extent of damage.
We’ll work with you, your real estate agent, and your lender to determine the best course of action. In many cases, the seller handles treatment costs as part of the negotiation process. Our goal is to keep your transaction moving forward while ensuring you’re fully protected from ongoing termite problems.
