Trad's Pest Control

I plan to terminate their service.

See above for details

I now have a higher rated company from Angie's list who has made my lawn look terrific at a better price and more complete service.

sAs most people we have purchased plants from various nurseries, including the big box stores. While you may pay slightly more at Trad's (and sometimes not), the quality of their plants seems to be always superior to their competitors. Also, Trad's selection is huge. The staff is friendly and very knowledgable. You cannot go wrong with a visit to this place.

I maintain annual contract for yard treatment. They have always done a good job and I am very satisfied with their service.

I heard good things about this company so I canceled my previous pest control company and signed up with Trad's. They promised to take care of everything and the first treatment was fine. But then they could not get rid of the weeds and the pests. So I used some stuff myself to kill the weeds. My major issue with them was that my brother got stung by a huge amount of fire ants and I had to pay about $500 in medical bills. I contacted them and was told they did not treat for fire ants. I contacted them and was told they do not treat for a certain type of weed. I asked them about grubs and they also said they don't take care of those. I got really mad and canceled them. I tried to contact the local owners and managers and the issue was not resolved. When I started they charged me $80 and told me I had to pay for two months because I canceled. But I already had to pay for medical bills.

Every time they came, I asked them to call beforehand becuase they typically spryed when on one was home. They came before or after the service date. I asked them to come back and never did. They wont me you on the property. They didnt put any fungicide down and I dont have any results. I have called numerous times. They have sent bills to the wrong address. I hired them based on a current clients recommendation who has great results so, Im not sure if it's the company or the technician.

I used them and the lawn got ruined so I don't have anything good to say about them. My lawn was in pretty good shape when I hired them, and it got totally ruined during the course of time I was paying them to take care of my lawn. They didn't do a good job...all I have is weeds in my yard.

I signed a lawn service contract with this company in January. They sprayed my lawn twice between January and March and continued to send me bills. Whenever I called to ask them to address some weeds in my lawn, they informed me that the contract I signed was only to cover certain types of weeds and that I needed to pay them more to spray my lawn. This was never explained to me by the salesperson who sold me the service. I declined to have them come back.Then in June, after not receiving any service since March, I received a bill for $68. I was surprised to see the bill as they hadn't performed any services and I had paid my account in full in May. When I called to complain, the "billing" specialist immediately told me that I was in default on my contract and that I owed the company more money, even though they hadn't performed any service. She then threatened to ruin my credit if I didn't pay the bill. I then sent a written letter to the company indicating that I was cancelling my contract and I disputed the bill. The, a few days after that, I received another letter from the Company now alleging that I now owed them $102 with a nasty gram again threatening to place me in collections. This is/was a very bad experience. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere.

I was really impressed with the evaluation from Trads initially. The person they sent out was very thorough and I really believed they would do a great job. Unfortunately, a year later my yard is full of weeds on one side and I'm not sure they are even treating that area. I mean FULL of weeds. A year is plenty long to get a weed problem under control, and we didn't have that many to start out with. One side of my yard is full of dollarweed, the sedge grass I understand any treatment company would have trouble with but I shouldn't have dollarweed.

It costs me $41 a month and $394 a year for their service, which is reasonable. They came out and looked at my yard, and gave me an estimate. I liked it and hired them. They come out every six weeks to do the work. They are excellent and I will keep using them as long as they keep my yard looking good.

Even after several reminders, technicians often failed to call ahead so that I could unlock the gate to give them access to the backyard. So they would treat the front yard and front of the house and I would have to call them back to do the back yard and back of the house. They also failed to provide the last lawn treatment that I had paid for. I tired of this and cancelled their service prior to the start of the next contract year. After the cancellation they came out and treated the lawn and sent me a bill. When I called and explained the situation, they agreed that I didn't owe them anything and to ignore the bill. Over a month later they sent another bill. At that point I realized I was dealing with a bunch of bumbling incompetents, so I gave up/in and paid them.

Started complaining about dollar weed in March and it looks like we are making some progress. There are still isolated patches of Dollar Weed that I treat by hand.

I hired national company to manage fertilization and weed control for my yard in Orange Park. I paid up front for 6 treatments per year. I used them for 3 months, and my yard looked okay. Although most of this time was winter and my grass was dormant. I deployed overseas with the Navy for 8 months. When I returned, I found that I had the worst appearing yard in the neighborhood. Weeds were everywhere. Much of the yard was damaged by insects or disease. My wife managed the watering properly, so I know that was not the issue. I fired the big company and hired Trad's based on a friend's recommendation. Trad's had to re-sod several areas of the lawn. In just a few months they turned my yard around. Every since then we have had very little in the way of weeds. My grass is thick and healthy. Even after the harsh winter we did not lose and area of turf. I don't think the national company was actually treating my yard with chemicals. I've heard of a scam where the chemical company worker will spray your yard with water and not use the chemicals he has been allotted. He will then use these chemicals on someone else's yard he has agreed to treat under the table. I feel like I was a victim of this scam. Here is the kicker: Trad's is less expensive.

The service started off great. Since I have a fenced back yard, they call the day before so I can unlock the gate. In the last 6 months, they either didnt call or would not come on the day they said they would. And the quality of the work has took a turn for the worse. It never seemed to be the same person servicing my yard. So now I have a yard full of weeds and dead spots.

This is a local company that has a good reputation for their knowledge and service. They seem to really care about the way my yard looks.

So far the yard looks better and they are very professional. Their prices are very competitive.

Trad's came out promptly to give us an estimate for our lawn. After the first treatment we noticed a difference right away in the health of our lawn. We are very pleased with their service and professionalism.

They are excellent. They always leave a note in the door of what has been done and a sign outside to warn people that the grass is not dried of the chemicals for 24 hours. They always call you ahead of time, which to me is very reliable. I am very pleased with them.

I would defiantly recommend them. They seem to be cheaper than most of the national chains. While I had a few problems, they came right out the next day to take care of all my concerns.

My overall experience with Trad's Garden Center is very good. I like that they always tell me what I can do to maintain the lawn. I used another company before, and they did less things for my yard than Trad's.

We weren't satisfied with our previous company, so our neighbors told us they used Trad's Garden Center. We are just as satisfied as they are, and the price is cheaper. Trad's Garden Center has gotten rid of the weeds, and my grass looks great!

Trad's Garden Center & Pest Control does a great job. I hired him in January and the yard looks great. I feel the price is great and he treats my lawn very good. He comes back if I call, no problems.

I have always been pleased with the work Trad's Garden Center & Pest Control does. The lawn looks great, and I never have any problems with bugs. I will continue to recommend them to friends and family members.

Trad's Garden Center and Pest Control always take the time to answer questions for us. They give me personalized service. I would recommend them for the good job they do.
