I have been using Carson Pest Control (now part of Hughes Exterminators) for the past year and have been very satisfied. After moving to Tampa from the Northeast, the amount of bugs getting into the house was disturbing. My technician (the same guy for the past year, so he knew my schedule and house) comes every two months, sprays the permitter of the house, and checks with me for any specific issues (i.e. bugs inside) that need to be treated. They have been easy to work with, effective, and maintain a very consistent (predictable) two-month schedule. I would absolutely recommend.
Description of Work: Sprayed perimeter of house, removed wasp nest, removed ant colonies from shrub root systems.

The service from Carson continues to set the standard for good customer service. They go above and beyond the call. I am never disappointed in their work. As Teddy was done with the traps I tried to offer him a tip for the holidays and for crawling in my attic chasing rats, but he refused. Class act. I hope the company offers a nice Christmas bonus.
Description of Work: I had an issue with Rats in my attic. Teddy came out and set traps. He arranged to come back multiple times to remove any dispatched vermin and reset the traps. He also took care of a swarm of ants for me.

Prompt, thorough, courteous, excellent....We had Carson's out to do a WDO inspection at the same time we were having our our total home inspection and four point. They were on time, worked around the other inspector, went over the inspection with us, promptly sent us the report by email, then followed up with a phone call. It was a great experience and I recommend them most highly!

Description of Work: We had their service for 2 years. We paid for them to spray white powder in the attic to eliminate as much of the cockroaches as possible. This particular service was never done. The service man kept saying it was too hot and will get it done during winter. It was never done and we continue to have roaches till today. So we discontinue the service at $25.00 per month.

Since moving to Florida 12 years ago, I have used four pest control companies. They all seemed to have the same process of asking if you had any problems, spraying all the baseboards, cabinets etc, and telling me that dead bugs in my house meant that the chemicals were working. Carson takes a different approach. They treat the inside and outside of my home for the first visit then focus on the outside. Their goal is for the bugs to never make it in my home. Every visit they completely clean the outside of the house of wasps nest, spider webs etc and I can honestly say I never see even dead bug remains inside the house. Having lived in the south for the last 25 years this is the first time that I have experienced no bugs inside! They have told me inside treatment will only have to take place on an annual basis. I am very pleased with the service and certainly don't miss having to rush home from work to let the pest control service in my house. I highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: Carson Pest control services my home every other month for pests. I did not have to sign a contract like some companies require. I had expressed concern about this since some major companies have this policy. The initial visit is about $200 then $58 dollars every other month.

Our house got hit by termites. Carson Pest Control was very responsive and was very aggressive about getting rid of our termites before they did too much damage to our house. Unfortunately we had Formosan subterranean termites, so they did a fair bit of damage before we were able to eradicate them, but I don't think that was the fault of Carson Pest Control -- I think they handled it as well as it could have been handled once we were hit. We now have a preventive maintenance system to make sure the termites don't come back. Carson uses the Sentricon system which I believe is a lot better than the old liquid injection method. It turns out we also have drywood termites, and so will probably have to tent the house some time in the not-too-distant future, but Carson has told us that the drywood termites eat slowly and we needn't be in a big rush to tent the house.
Description of Work: Carson treated our house with the Sentricon system to get rid of Formosan subterranean termites that were eating our house. We now have a preventive maintenance system to keep them from coming back.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company. Their technician was an obviously well-trained and experienced expert. I was impressed by his overall knowledge as well as his courtesy and honesty. He thoroughly examined the outside and inside of our large home including the uncomfortable crawl space above our ceiling. He was able to determine how and why rats were entering and he provided effective, inexpensive, and most importantly- humane solutions. He was the nicest, most honest service person our family has ever met. If God forbid, we ever have this problem again, I would call this company in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: remedies for a serious rat infestation.

They came out right away when we had a bee problem and got everything fixed for us. From then on, we've had them come on a monthly basis. They are definitely pricey, but they do a great job and we've really appreciaited their services.

I decided to use this company because it was highly rated on Angie's List and because it uses eco-friendly products. The dispatcher made an appointment for the following day. I waited until the provider was 30 minutes late before phoning to find out what the problem was. He had forgotten the appointment and made another for the following day. This snafu concerned me but I agreed to the 2nd appointment. When he arrived, he did a thorough job. He double-sprayed a problem area where ants were coming in. Several days later, when the ant problem persisted, he returned and treated the area a second time. That seems to have resolved it. I have arranged a year-long contract with the company and, so far, things seem to be going smoothly. They have agreed to phone in advance of their arrivals for the scheduled maintenance. I'm glad I gave them the benefit of the doubt with the initial appointment.
Description of Work: Sprayed for bugs. Returned for an ongoing ant problem and resolved it. Arranged for ongoing maintenance treatment.

This went very well. No issues in asking for the report to be emailed and fax to all parties necessary during a home transfer of ownership. I would recomend using this contractor.
Description of Work: This was an inspection for pests prior tp purchasing a home in December 2009. We found that the inspection was very well performed and we addressed the issues that were identified. As well as addressing future concerns that will arise in home ownership here in Florida concerning pest control. Our report was detailed and complete.

We've been using them since 2000. He is the husband of my doctor. He is very nice and he rings the bell to let me know that he is spraying. He leaves a checklist to let me know if he found any termite activity. The experience has been very good.
Description of Work: We use Carson Pest Control every month to check for termites and remove any mud daubers. He last came in July.

They do not let me know before they come in. They come and do their job even if we are not at home and then they leave note behind. They come back again if required. They are punctual and I am satisfied with them.

Excellent follow up. The price was reasonable.
Description of Work: They did specific problem solving. One major problem with ants in the attic. We have been trying to solve this problem for a few years. Keith was very aggressive about coming back until the problem was solved. Because of that we are using them for all our pest control.
