Tampa Bay Rat Exterminators

We had roof rats that got into our attic and apparently made it its home probably over sereral weeks until it got brazen and breached our living space into the kitchen. After a rather unpleasant sighting by the missus, it was all out war with just about every kind of traps/poison we found at WalMart and Amazon. It was a drawn out fight and the pesky invaders suffered heavy casualties by the time we figured out to use the new electronic rat trap units, but we suffered mental stress from knowing that we were sharing living space with nasty rodents. Nevertheless the pesky rodents brought reinforcement and came back and I did more research to seal out all possible ingress point to the house. I went thru all the vents on the roof and eaves and found the tiny gap with scruff marks where the breach was probably made and shut it down. However we still heard scruffing noise in the ceiling sometime late at night and couldn't figure out how to flush the remaining ones without crawling into the tight attic space to put a trap right where we heard the noise. I wasn't quite a fan of that, picturing Rambo navigating tight quarter while being attacked by rodents and creepy crawlies. Finally decided to call in the professional calvary pest control and narrowed it down to three which Soles Exterminating was one of our Angies potentials. A couple call to other places gave us the initial estimate at $250-$400 to deal with an "infestation" and revisits just based on the description. Soles was one to indicate they'd send someone out to take a look first. Travis came and I gave him a walk thru of the battlespace. He went to the attic and commented that he doesn't see or smell a typical infestation. He also walked around the house where I've pointed out the preventative steps I've taken. After inspection he made a comment that surprised me - that I've already done most of the hard work and there's not much he'd be able to add. He left me with 4 old school rat traps baited with some special gel that is suppose to be really good rat bait and placed the traps at the two attic entries. I had pictured having to crawl into the nooks and crannies where I heard the noise but Travis made another revelation - "I don't go to them, let them come to me". No need to go fancy with new traps and I was admittedly a bit underwhelmed and somewhat apprehensive. He charged me a mere $20 for the traps and service call saying he really didn't do much and reminded me to check the traps often. He offered to come back to check for a fee or I could do it myself so I figured I could do that after my hard fought battles. I watched the traps daily and nothing and still heard noises here and there. Then on the ninth and tenth day - bam bam bam! Three rats fell victim to the old school trap and I was pleasantly surprised, wearing a big grin as I disposed of their carcasses. It's been 2 weeks now and we haven't heard any more noise and no more trap being sprung. Could it be we had vanquished the pesky invaders? We shall see. Well the reason why I'm writing this long winded review is at least to commend Travis for his professionalism. Particularly the fact that I felt he was more interested in helping with our issue than profiting from our need and desperation. I truly believe that if we had called any other pest control company, it would've cost us at least 5-10x+ what Travis charged. Soles Exterminating and Travis provided great service over profit which is what I felt I received from the transaction. If I had more pest issue, I'd call them out for sure. Thank you.

This was the third job Suncoast and Matt LaChance did for me in a month. We had a nest of rats in our attic and Matt came right out and handled the problem. Once again, great job. Matt's a hard worker with great customer service.

Eric came out, evaluated the situation and set traps as well as a natural rat repellent. Two additional visits were included in the fee so the traps were cleared and reset, poison was put outside, and soffit openings were sealed. Each step was explained thoroughly which I very much appreciated. Additionally, scheduling was flexible. I like the company so much I also signed up for their quarterly pest control. As they were already here, I saved some money on the initial visit for that. A very professional, thorough service provider.

Keith initially came out for rats, and I was so impressed that I gave him my termite service and roaches too! Dependable, honest, professional, quality service!

He came once a week for about three weeks. He was here less than an hour each time. He changed the bait; I think. I'm not sure if I received my money's worth.

The appointment was set. The man said we didn't have a mice problem. The tenant was going to take me to court. They called 311. Metro went back and said we did have mice. They didn't do the appropriate treatment for the severity of the problem. I live in Florida but have a rental in Queens. It is 6 months later and the house is full of mice. They even ate through the cabinets. I called Orkin in Queens and they took care of it in one day.

When I called about a rodent problem I had in one of my rental units John was friendly and professional. He assured me he would be out to my unit within two days and he would take care of it. He was at my unit the day after I called him and closed off points of entry and laid traps. Since my unit was connected to another unit that had rats, the job was difficult and he needed to return four times before the rats were completely exterminated and all points of entry were closed off. Even though the job was harder than John first anticipated he never tried to get more money out of me. He stood by his original estimate of $300 and got the job done. This is an honest man and I will use him again.

Great company. Came out, left traps, removed rats, left more traps, removed more rats, etc. Once no more rats then sealed all openings on roof and in attic. Sprayed attic to remove rat odor and pheromones. Still no rats after one year. (Sorry for the late review.) Would definitely call/hire again if rats show up again.

He is very prompt and dependable. He was able to solve the rat problem that I was having. He probably came out two or three times. The price for the work is fair.

Fantastic! Dan went over and above on the roof rat issue... Seriously, those things are discussing and my wife was freaking out and Soles was great. We started using them for regular pest control as well and it's great!
