To be the family owned, neighborhood company your community can count on for all their pest control needs. To create a continually expanding, deeply satisfied customer base by delivering a high value, customer driven, quality service that people can depend on time after time. Family owned & operated. Additional phone (954) 981-4002 from S Broward County. Quality Pro approved.

"My experience with Petri Pest Control was nothing short of a nightmare. The product they used was completely ineffective—not only did it fail to address the bug issue, but When I tried to cancel their service (a total of 13 times), I was ignored repeatedly. Despite my best efforts to communicate and resolve the situation, they turned around and sent me to collections without any explanation or consideration. This company doesn't care about its customers; they just want to lock you into a useless service and make money off of you. I strongly advise against using Petri Pest Control. They’re unprofessional, unresponsive, and their treatment doesn’t work"

Nvirotect was the first company in Florida to receive the Green Pro designation for environmentally friendly pest control practices. Since then we have continued to develop state of the art procedures for the Green Pest Control Industry. We are 100% focused on providing each and every one of our customers a world class service experience while maintaining the strictest business ethics and quality control procedures. If you choose Nvirotect you can count on a consistent approach, and you can count on us being your provider for many years to come.

"Fraud! Nvirotect is not a reputable company! Steer clear! I have been a customer since 2021. Money wasted! Beware of Nvirotech Lawn Co! My experience with this company was nothing short of a nightmare. They promised a lush, green lawn but delivered dead patches and weeds. Despite several complaints and consistent communication about my dissatisfaction, their customer service employed fraudulent tactics. They led me to believe I had switched from an annual agreement to a month-to-month contract, providing them with additional months to improve their services and my lawn. After six more months of trying to give them a chance to improve, I finally decided to terminate my supposed month-to-month service. However, they then claimed I was never on a month-to-month agreement but was instead locked into an annual contract and demanded payment for a full 12 months of awful service. When I refused to pay, they sent me to a collections agency. Save your money, lawn, and time—avoid this fraudulent company at all costs!! Do yourself a favor and seek out another service. I have since reported them to the BBB."

**FALL SPECIALS ON OUR WILDLIFE PREVENTION TREATMENTS!!** At A-Team Trappers, we are passionate professionals that humanely and effectively address your nuisance animal problems. We specialize in catch and release of animals such as rats, mice, rodents, squirrels, bats, raccoons, opossums, armadillo, snakes, and iguanas. We also specialize in pest extermination of hornets, bees, yellow jackets, and wasps. At this time, we do not offer services for moles, voles, foxes, cats, dogs, or coyotes; and do not service bed bugs, spiders, ants, or termites.

"This is review is for the Fort Lauderdale office.While I was happy with the initial rodent trapping and proofing, I am quite unhappy with the office staff. I made an appointment for service, and no one showed up and no one called. When I called the office the day of the appointment, an office staff member told me that someone will come out by the end of that week or the next week. No one did come by Tuesday of the next week , and I did not receive a call or text. When I called back , I was told that my previous appointment was not valid, and no one will be able to come out for another three weeks. When I asked if someone could come out earlier because I had an initial earlier appointment, the young woman on the phone suggested that I use another business and would give me some recommendations for other pest removal services, which I found very rude and a very poor business practice.I also had some questions about my contract and asked to be transferred to a manager, and this young woman told me she couldn’t do that, and she couldn’t give me contact information about the manager—that it was against policy. These are very poor business practices. I don’t know if anyone will show for my appointment which is a whole month after my initial appointment and have no way to contact a manager. Also a delay in service increases the chances of the rodent problem reoccurring ."

We at VCA Hollywood Animal Hospital want our clients and staff members to know it is our priority to provide the finest Veterinary care to our patients and it is our goal to assure that their owners are well informed and comfortable with the decisions made regarding their pets care. VCA Hollywood Animal Hospital started out as a small family run hospital in 1947. As we know today it is still partially family run, but has grown quite a bit over the past sixty years to accommodate the growing pet community. This ever growing animal hospital strives to offer clients the best state of the art technology and specialty veterinary care that the county has available. Our staff members are dedicated to the care of animals and they are willing to do whatever is necessary to make a client comfortable with the quality of care their pet will receive while they are here.

"I wish I could give them a minus rating. When I took my dog there for a consult he was walking well and pain free coming in. They persuade me to pay for an x-ray on his hips (done under anesthesia) to make sure his hips are ok as I was worried about the right hind leg. Dr Jon Dee came out and told me that in the x-ray his hips look fine and that they pushed his right hind leg to make sure its in and stay in. When he came out and could not walk, both me and the tech barely got him to the car, The tech said that he is wobbly because of the anesthesia but after it wore off he could no longer walk again. He seems to be in pain and is unable to step on his right foot. When I contracted the vet he prescribe pain meds. When I contacted him again after a few days he didn’t respond. A week later and the dog can’t step on his right leg and have problem walking on 3 legs, is in pain and might be crippled like that for the rest of his life. The vets were very careless pushing his leg when there was no reason to. They are not accountable when they injure an animal. The only thing they care about is making money for themselves and the big VCA corporation. we are heartbroken that they injured our dog and never thought that taking him there was putting him in danger."

IT MAY FADE, DISCOLOR AND DRY OUT TILE ROOFS MAKING THEM BRITTLE (EASILY BROKEN OVER TIME). CHEMICALS CAN ALSO BE CORROSIVE TO THE TAR PAPER BELOW THE TILE.

"The entire experience from initial call until project completion was A+. I received more services than expected and would recommend Busy Bee to anybody needing their services. They cleaned my roof and entire exterior of my house that I just moved into a few weeks ago…it looks so much better! I feel the price was very fair and they came highly recommended from my mother in law. They truly have a great and reputable family business. Hire them and you will not regret it."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Boric acid is among the harsher chemicals you can use in your home, and it poses risks whether ingested, inhaled, or touched. Kids and pets alike tend to put their hands and mouths on anything within reach, so it’s always a good idea to store boric acid in a spot they can’t get to and use it only when they’re not around for an extended period. When you use it, ensure they’re out of the house and fully clean up any trace of boric acid when you’re done because even a small amount can cause problems. 

Stink bugs can start reproducing a couple of weeks after they leave the nymph stages, which gives them several months to mate and start laying eggs. A single stink bug can lay up to 400 eggs in a lifetime, which can worsen an infestation. Stink bugs lay significantly more eggs in warmer climates where they stay active longer and have several rounds of egg laying.

No, pest-repellent plants can only reduce the number of pests in your garden—they won’t repel all of them. So, for example, a plant like catnip that repels mosquitoes won’t completely eradicate them from your yard.

While there are many sweet, ripe, or fermented items that attract fruit flies, the clear winner is apple cider vinegar. The liquid is sweet, potent, and fermented, making it the perfect bait for luring fruit flies into your trap.

When selecting the right pest control company to banish mosquito populations around your home, first search for well-reviewed, qualified, licensed professionals. Next, make sure you’re comfortable with the pro’s methods—some companies offer natural control products and not just chemical options. Finally, check the company’s contract carefully for things like guarantees, discounts for multiple treatments, and liability insurance.
