They have been very accommodating of my special requests. Instead of a spray they use granules to keep the chemicals to a minimum. They do an excellent job! I will definitely recommend them and absolutely use them, again.

They never could get control of the weeds in the grass, which actually got worse. Lost three shrubs. Technician was only spending 10-15 min per visit. We still utilize Florida Pest for termite policies.

They are always punctual. They always call me ahead of time. They are never late on my bill and they give me a long time warranty.

The technician who did the original installation came and said that he fixed the problem, however he also said that he placed glue traps under the sink.  We could not understand why and went to remove them.  We could not find them anywhere.   I called back to the office three times to find out where they were.   We want them removed as we are trying to get out of town for several days.  The technician has not returned our calls and as this is being written, we are waiting to leave town.    I believe he may have placed them under the sink cabinet, which is a very bad idea.  I can not understand why he would do that;  I can only imagine how bad the smell would be when we returned several days later.

We've been using Florida Pest Control for the past five years since we moved into our new house.  I tried the first year to fertilize and do the weed control before realizing this is better left to the professionals.  They always call the day before they are coming so I can be there to meet them if needed to discuss any problem areas in the lawn.  They come every other month at a reasonable price and have always been professional.

We recently moved to Gainesville since my spouse joined UF/Shads as medical doctor. We purchased home in SW part of Gainesville in Cobblefied.
Based on suggestion by prior owner we signed up for pest control  for our lawn, separate annual contract for house hold pest control. During 1st visit their staff mentioned that our home already has dry wood termite policy & they will renew it at no charge since we are signing up for additional services.
After one/ two initial services one of the staff called & suggested to signup for new termite policy - subterranean termites
and offered free visit / inspection, we did sign indicating that someone visited for inspection.
Considering we are new to Florida, we conveyed that we will check online & with neighbors for need of this type of policy.
After necessary information gathering we refused to sign-up for new policy.
There was second visit for house hold pest control & we did sign indicating completion of service.
Now Florida pest control indicates we agreed for  subterranean termites policy & provided our sign.
We visited out of country for 3 weeks & after return see two reminders for payment & letter from collections company !!!
After 1st phone call their staff indicated manger will call us back - never received call back !
Thus call again & conveyed full details - call was transferred to some senior person & even after providing all details
They conveyed that account is past due thus paid online today.
IN short PLEASE STAY AWAY FORM COMPANY WHO CHEATS & TRIES to FOOL CUSTOMERS !
Regards

It was fine. They did the termite control; dug up all around the house and you can't even tell they were here. They were very professional. They did a nice job. Everything we asked; the person was extremely nice.

Ants were coming into the kitchen the weekend prior to the annual appointment. I sprayed them with Roach and Ant spray that I had in the house. I discussed the problem with Joe and we found a dead one close to the site where they were coming in. He knew immediately that they were carpenter ants, said they prefer damp areas and said he would treat the outside where they were coming in. I haven't seen the ants since. I also found where silver fish were eating paper in a drawer and he put silverfish bait in the drawer and also in the bottom drawer to prevent further damage. These treatments were in addition to the usual annual treatment.


Chris and his helper efficiently capped the vents with the covers. Chris explained that squirrels like to use the vents to file their teeth--something they need to do to avoid an overbite.


I feel that Florida Pest Control is taking good care of preventing pest problems. I know that I may call anytime during the year if a pest problem occurs and they will come at no charge to me to eradicate the problem.
