Termites don’t take breaks in Florida. They’re active every month of the year in Timber Pines, FL, and by the time you see visible damage, they’ve usually been feeding on your structure for three to five years. That’s the problem with waiting.
Real termite prevention means catching activity before it becomes a repair bill. It means treating the soil around your foundation so termites can’t get in. It means annual inspections that actually look for early warning signs—mud tubes, frass, moisture issues—before they turn into structural problems.
You’re not just avoiding damage. You’re protecting the value of your home and eliminating the stress of wondering whether termites are silently eating away at your investment. That’s what matters when you’re dealing with pests that cause over $500 million in damage to Florida homeowners every year.
Around The Clock Pest Service is family-run, which means when you call, you’re talking to George—the owner. Not a call center. Not a scheduling system. An actual person who knows Timber Pines, FL and understands what termites do to homes in Hernando County’s sandy soil and humid climate.
We’ve been serving Spring Hill and the surrounding area with state-certified termite prevention services that focus on long-term protection, not one-time treatments. You get honest answers, transparent pricing, and someone who’ll respond within hours—even on weekends.
Our clients stay with us because we treat them like people, not account numbers. Over 100 five-star reviews and an A+ BBB rating back that up.
It starts with a thorough inspection of your property. We’re looking for active termite signs, conducive conditions like moisture or wood-to-ground contact, and entry points as small as 1/32nd of an inch. That’s all termites need to get inside.
From there, we apply a liquid termiticide barrier around your foundation or install a baiting system depending on your home’s layout and your preferences. Both methods work, but the right choice depends on your property. We’ll walk you through the options and explain what makes sense for your situation.
After the initial treatment, you’re covered by an annual termite protection plan that includes regular monitoring and re-treatment if needed. We’re not disappearing after the first visit. You get ongoing protection and direct access to us if you ever notice anything that concerns you.

Your annual plan covers scheduled inspections, monitoring of treated areas, and retreatment if termite activity is detected. You’re not paying for a one-time fix and hoping it holds. You’re getting year-round coverage that adapts to Florida’s termite seasons.
In Timber Pines, FL and throughout Hernando County, both subterranean and drywood termites are active. Subterranean termites are the bigger threat—they live in the soil and build mud tubes to reach wood in your home. Drywood termites infest the wood directly and leave behind small piles of frass that look like sawdust. We treat for both.
We also provide WDO inspections if you’re buying or selling a home. Florida’s real estate market moves fast, and lenders often require proof that a property is termite-free before closing. We can turn those reports around quickly so your transaction doesn’t stall.
Pricing for residential termite defense in Pasco County and Hernando County typically runs between $800 and $4,000 depending on your home’s size and the treatment method. We’ll give you an accurate quote over the phone after asking a few questions about your property.
Most homes in Timber Pines, FL fall between $800 and $4,000 for initial termite prevention treatment, depending on the size of your home and the linear footage that needs to be treated. The cost breaks down to roughly $4 to $16 per linear foot.
Annual protection plans after that initial treatment typically cost less—usually a few hundred dollars per year for inspections and monitoring. That’s a fraction of what you’d pay if termites cause structural damage, which can easily run $8,000 or more in repairs that insurance won’t cover.
We’ll give you a quote over the phone once we know your home’s square footage and layout. No surprises, no hidden fees.
If you’ve never had a professional termite inspection, you need one. Termites can be actively feeding on your home for years before you notice any visible signs. By the time you see mud tubes on your foundation, hollow-sounding wood, or discarded wings near windows, the infestation is usually well-established.
In Florida, with 13 subterranean termite colonies per acre, it’s not a question of if termites will find your home—it’s when. Prevention is always cheaper than treatment after damage has occurred.
We’ll inspect your property and tell you exactly what we find. If there’s active termite activity, we’ll treat it. If your home is clear, we’ll set up a prevention plan so it stays that way.
Liquid termiticide creates a chemical barrier in the soil around your foundation. Termites can’t cross it without dying, so it stops them from entering your home. It’s effective immediately and lasts for years, but it requires trenching around your foundation and injecting the treatment into the soil.
Bait systems use monitoring stations placed around your property. Termites feed on the bait, carry it back to their colony, and it eliminates the entire colony over time. It’s less invasive to install and works well for ongoing monitoring, but it takes longer to eliminate an active infestation.
Both methods work. The right choice depends on whether you’re dealing with an active infestation, your home’s construction, and your preferences. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each based on your specific situation.
Yes. The products we use are approved by the EPA and applied by state-certified technicians who know how to use them safely. Liquid termiticides are applied in the soil around your foundation—not inside your living spaces. Once they dry, they’re safe for people and pets.
Bait systems are even less invasive. The stations are installed in the ground around your property, and the bait inside is contained. Your family and pets won’t come into contact with it.
We follow all safety protocols and application guidelines to make sure your home is protected without putting anyone at risk. If you have specific concerns about pets or children, let us know and we’ll walk you through exactly what we’re using and where.
Annual inspections are the standard recommendation in Florida, and for good reason. Termites are active year-round here, and conditions change. A moisture problem from a leaky gutter or a crack in your foundation can create a new entry point for termites between inspections.
If you’re on an annual termite protection plan, those inspections are included. We’ll check for signs of new activity, inspect previous treatment areas, and make sure your home is still protected.
If you’re buying or selling a home, you’ll need a WDO inspection as part of the transaction. We handle those as well and can turn them around quickly so your closing stays on schedule.
If you’re covered under an annual termite protection plan and termites return, we retreat your home at no additional cost. That’s part of the plan. You’re not paying for a single treatment and hoping it lasts—you’re paying for ongoing protection.
We monitor your property during scheduled inspections and respond quickly if you notice anything between visits. Termites are persistent, especially in Florida, but consistent monitoring and retreatment when needed keeps them from causing damage.
If you’re not on a protection plan and termites return, you’d be paying for a new treatment. That’s why most homeowners in Timber Pines, FL opt for the annual plan. It’s more cost-effective and gives you peace of mind that someone’s watching for problems before they become expensive.
