Eastern Exterminating

Very good

The are really good. The price is reasonable.

I've been utilizing Eastern Exterminating's services for almost two years. They have gone above and beyond to determine what the heck is going on at the rental house I've been living in. While the front yard/side yard is doing very well, with their diligent application (initially monthly when the sod was installed, then quarterly after established -- including meeting with me and walking around each time to discuss the issues/problems and explaining the different weeds and issues), the backyard is a mess -- THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIRS. They did everything they could to save the lawn. When the landlord re-installed sod, Eastern Exterminating came monthly to protect the lawn, examine the sprinklers and meet with me for walk-throughs. They were SO conscientious. When that SECOND round of sod started dying, they did EVERYTHING they could to save it, at no additional charge to me. When it was evident that it was beyond saving, they were perplexed. They theorized it could be a rare virus in the soil that they have only seen a few times in over 20 years. At my instigation, and at their cost and trouble, they took soil sample "plugs" from around the backyard and sent it to the UF for analysis. They provided the report to me, also at no cost, which confirmed the presence of this UNHOLY AND AWFUL thing that COULD NOT BE ERADICATED WITH ANY METHOD EXCEPT LITERALLY TAKING A BACKHOE AND REMOVING A FOOT OF DIRT FROM THE ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE BACKYARD. As my landlord will NOT be doing that, I was at least at peace knowing that I was not to blame for this, and that the virus was killing the grass and would kill ANY grass planted furthermore. So now, they just get rid of any bad pests, fungus, etc but don't use herbicide in the backyard; they fertilize as well. Even though it's mostly weeds, at least it looks green... and when it's cropped by the lawnmower, if i squint my eyes it LOOKS like grass out in the backyard. They are friendly, responsive by phone and by email, and extremely detail-oriented. their prices are fair. I am most pleased after 2 years of service. They also have organic treatments.
